Our quest to bring the intellectual life of the university to Austin continues, with our first annual Princeton Pre-Read event featuring Every Day the River Changes: Four Weeks Down the Magdalena - the book assigned by President Eisgruber to all undergraduate first-year students this fall.

Whether you’ve read the book or not, please register to join us on Wednesday, January 11th at 7:00pm. We will gather over Zoom to discuss the book, interspersed with highlights of the students' on-campus discussion with the author at the Pre-read assembly during Orientation.

Published by Princeton University Press in 2021, the book is based on Jordan Salama’s senior thesis, in which he recounts his experiences as he traveled along the Magdalena River in Colombia while he was an undergraduate. Salama describes the people he met and the cultures he encountered during his travels with distinctive warmth and empathy. Please see President Eisgruber's post in the PAW here.
