Why READ@PolyU?

It is a new campus-wide common reading programme in which all PolyU full-time first year undergraduate students will read the same book. It is designed to help foster a reading culture across the University to equip students with the means to better engage in learning. It also creates a sense of community for all freshmen sharing a common experience with their new environment and introduces them to a part of the academic life they are beginning at PolyU.

What They Say?

I truly enjoy the experience of reading a common book with the students and the sharing of our thoughts in the facilitator session. I hope all PolyU students will join us in this exciting activity."
