The Tufts University Common Reading Program is designed to furnish all incoming first year and transfer students with a shared intellectual experience, providing a foundation for critical thinking. The book also fosters conversation among peers, Orientation Leaders and faculty, anchoring certain Orientation Week events and engendering a sense of community that helps to ease the transition to college life. In 2008, the book was The Blue Death: Disease, Disaster, and the Water We Drink by Robert D. Morris, and raised issues of water security and water infrastructure sustainability.
