Mountains Beyond Mountains was SDSU’s first common read, fall, 2009. Honors students
participated in a series of in-class and on-line discussions, attended campus speakers, and
participated in community activities and service programs to enhance global awareness and local
engagement around issues of diversity and health. This study will discuss the comprehensive
evaluation of this program.
