In preparation for joining the Montana State University community, please set aside a few hours to read MSU's summer reading: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People:*

This book sold 15 million copies in 38 languages and has been selected by MSU faculty as having value for all college-bound students in any area of study. We will be reading this book over the summer and look forward to hearing your thoughts about this book when you join us in August.

Stephen R. Covey, the internationally respected leadership authority, teacher, organizational consultant, and author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, will deliver the main presentation at the event. This event, which will be held September 2 at 7:30 p.m. in the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, will be a celebration of your entrance into Montana State University. Freshman Convocation will provide all incoming students the opportunity to meet peers and connect with faculty and staff.

* 7 Habits is available in bookstores nationwide and through many on-line retailers.

If you have a disability and would like to request The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People in an alternative format, please contact Disability Student Services at 406-994-2824.
