“It’s a great honor that my former community college is now sharing my story across campus. I attended Fullerton College while undocumented and never shared my status with anyone. I hope this book helps educators understand the unseen challenges some of their students may be facing, and I hope students find laughter and room to dream within these pages.” 

You can find the book at all the usual retailers, as well as Amazon:

 

 

Events will be added here.

 

Each year, Fullerton College students, faculty, and staff read a common book and unite around community discussions and campus events. Ideal books have a broad appeal that makes them meaningful additions to classes across disciplines, but they also invite students and staff to read them apart from the classroom—books that inspire engaging conversations, books that encourage the sharing of diverse perspectives, books that are enjoyable to read, books that challenge our critical thinking skills.

If you have read a book that fits this criteria, we welcome your nominations. Please complete the form on this page.

Nominations for the 2021/2022 school year will be reviewed in January 2021. You can nominate at any time by filling out the form below.

When selecting a book, please consider the following:

  • The book should appeal to a broad, diverse group of people
  • The book should inspire discussion across a variety of disciplines
  • The book should be enjoyable to read
  • The book should be widely available
