Campus Read

The 2024-25 Campus Read is All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. The Campus Read brings the campus community together to read and discuss one text and its themes.

This year’s Campus Read was chosen by the Campus Read Committee after soliciting book recommendations from ETSU faculty, students, and staff. The themes, including the power of knowledge, imagination, innovation, and kindness in spite of differences resonated with the committee.
