Newcomb-Tulane College Reading Project

The Newcomb-Tulane College Reading Project is the common intellectual experience for the entering first-year class, engaging students and faculty from different backgrounds and academic interests through the reading and discussion of a selected book.

Incoming students are tasked with reading the book over the summer, before they arrive on campus. During Hullabaloo Hello, you will discuss the book with a Tulane faculty member as your first intellectual conversation at Tulane. You will then have numerous opportunities to continue you engagement with the book themes through the Kylene and Brad Beers Reading Project Keynote Lecture and various other campus programming.

The 2024 NTC Reading Project book selection for the Class of 2028 will be announced by June 1.
