The Hilbert College Reads program is a common intellectual reading experience that engages students and creates a sense of community through cross-disciplinary conversations.

Every year, the Hilbert College Reads committee selects a text and invites the author to present on campus. This event is open to the local community. 

“Picking Cotton” by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton is the 2017-2018 All Hilbert College Reads selection.

Jennifer and Ronald are scheduled to speak on October 17, 2017, in Swan Auditorium at 7 p.m.
