Reading is Leading

Mortar Board members have had national projects since the Societyโ€™s founding. In 2002, the delegates passionately decided to create the "Reading is Leading" initiative.

Ways to celebrate Reading is Leading

  • Read-a-thons and book drives, such as trick-or-treat for books, book drops and book fundraising competitions with prizes for student organizations that participate
  • Adopt-a-school programs that challenge other student organizations on campus
  • Reading programs at childrenโ€™s hospitals or nursing homes
  • Functional literacy workshops
  • On-campus events for grade school children and their parents
