Welcome to the Penn Reading Project!

Every year since 1991, Penn's incoming freshmen have come together in small groups with faculty to discuss a selected text specifically for that class. The Penn Reading Project (PRP) is a major feature of New Student Orientation, and the first opportunity students have to interact with faculty in an intellectual discussion.

We welcome faculty and senior academic staff across the University to participate. This year's selection is Adam Bradley's Book of Rhymes:The Poetics of Hip Hop. For information, visit: www.yearofsound.org.

If you are ready to sign up, please continue! This website allows you to indicate various preferences that will help us to create our groups. You'll be hearing from us occasionally during the summer - and meanwhile, you have my deepest thanks!

Sincerely,

David Fox
Director, New Student Orientation and the Penn Reading Project
