<p>Cornell has announced its 2007 book selection for the New Student Reading Project. All new students will read The Pickup by Nobel laureate Nadine Gordimer.</p>

<p>This is the 6th year of Cornell's New Student Reading Project. Cornell will mail you the book over the summer along with Orientation information and ask you to write a short response. </p>

<p>Once on campus, you will get the chance to discuss the book in a group setting with your peers and a faculty member. Some of my first memories at Cornell were formed through this experience, so get involved!</p>

<p>You can learn more about the New Student Reading Project and the books they've selected in past years at <a href="http://reading.cornell.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://reading.cornell.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
