![Frankenstein annotated book cover]( "Frankenstein annotated book cover")
The OneBook Project is a college-wide initiative that invites students, faculty, staff and members of the outside community to read a common text and engage in discussions around that text. The goal is to create an interdisciplinary learning community that explores issues relevant to the text and our community. This year, MassBay will be awarding a prize to a regional author whose work connects to the mission of the OneBook Project.
This fall, we will be continuing our OneBook events with the bicentennial of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
