Dear Student,

We are so proud to announce that Clint Smith’s How the Word is Passed is the 2022 selection for One Book One Northwestern, the campus-wide common read program.

Professor Smith will be on campus in October for the keynote address. In the meantime, we hope that you will read his book, so that you are prepared to discuss it with the first-year students during Wildcat Welcome.

Thanks to the generous support of the Office of the President, we can provide a free electronic copy of the book to every first-year and transfer student.

You can download your pre-paid eBook using the link sent to you on Monday, July 18, 2022.

This link is unique to you. The deadline for you to download your free copy is Monday, August 15, 2022.

For more information about the book and upcoming events, please look at the One Book website starting July 18. Students will receive six months of free membership to Amazon Prime if they use their Northwestern.edu email address.

This book can be read on any device with the free Kindle app for iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, PC, Mac, and on Kindle readers and Fire tablets. If you experience any difficulty downloading your copy, visit Kindle Support.

Best regards,
Nancy M. Cunniff
Director, One Book One Northwestern
