OCUReads @ Oklahoma City University
Summer Reading Program

Please note that the Summer 2006 OCU Reads has successfully been completed. The following information with explain in more details about the OCU Reads program.

The OCU Reads program, which has become a highlight of new student orientation, requires all incoming first-year students to read a common book before arriving on campus for fall classes and to participate in discussion groups and attend a talk given by the author. 

For the summer of 2006, the selection was First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers by Loung Ung. This eyewitness account by a survivor of the Killing Fields of Cambodia has generated much discussion in community-wide and academic reading programs.
