Reading Groups
Each semester, the Center for Free Enterprise sponsors student reading groups. These groups are great opportunities for students who enjoy reading and exchanging ideas with their peers, and offer added academic enrichment and intellectual inquiry beyond the classroom. We encourage all majors and undergraduate grade levels to apply.
Fall 2023
We are planning our Fall 2023 Reading Group program. Watch your email and social media in August for application information.
