Congratulations to Emily Truesdell, a freshman Honors student who is the winner of the 2006 UB Reads writing contest. UB Reads is the University at Buffalo’s summer reading program, which seeks to build a sense of community among first-year students through an intentional and relevant shared reading experience. This summer’s book selection was Freedom in Exile: The Autobiography of the Dalai Lama by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and Emily’s winning essay is titled “The Dalai Lama as a Role Model in Freedom in Exile.” The winner of this writing contest receives one semester of free in-state tuition.
