The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

The Common Read Selection Committee has selected The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot for the 2021-22 program. The selection committee read, reviewed, discussed, and ranked several books related to this year’s theme of Public Health and Social justice to select this book about the formerly little-known woman whose unique cells have made many scientific advances possible. Incoming students will discuss the Common Read in small groups with faculty, staff, and student leaders during the orientation week.

Thanks to this year's selection committee:

  • Aparna Sinha, Chair, Culture & Communication
  • Michele Van Hoeck, Dean of Library
  • Matthew Fairbanks, Science & Math
  • Mike Holden, Mechanical Engineering
  • Emily Scheese, Athletics
  • Ali Moradmand, Science & Math
  • Margot Hanson, Library
  • David Taliaferro, Commandant of Cadets
  • Amy Parsons, Culture & Communication
  • Sam Pearson, Marine Transportation
  • Ariel Setniker, Science & Math
