All incoming first year students at Florida Gulf Coast University will read John Strelecky's Life Safari in order to explore FGCU's Learning Goal Ecological Perspective. Life Safari is a work of fiction that will open your eyes to the potential that resides within each of us.

The summer reading assignment expects students to analyze the issue of ecological perspective in the book, as well as to consider the relationship between what students learn in the book and their own interactions with the natural world and with other human beings. Ultimately, students should begin to understand and address the ten General Education Learning Goals in order to begin their own growth and development (these goals are located at the link below).
