One Book One Northwestern

One Book began in 2005 for students in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences. Under the leadership of director Nancy Cunniff, it evolved into a community-wide program involving students, faculty and staff from all majors and departments. After 15 years of service and 15 books, Cunniff has retired. Read about Cunniff in Northwestern Now.

The One Book One Northwestern program will not take place in the 2025-26 academic year as the University explores how it may look in the future. In the meantime, please enjoy exploring the Archives section of this site, which contains content from the past years of One Book programming.
