"It is this way with wonder: it takes a bit of patience, and it takes putting yourself in the right place at the right time. It requires that we be curious enough to forgo our small distractions in order to find the world." World of Wonders by Aimee Nezhukumatahil. 

As you enter a new space, a new campus or town or state or country, you will be filled with so many emotions. Underneath the stress and excitement, there will be a sense of wonder at all of the people and mountains and creatures around you. Aimee Nezhukumatathil takes us through her own wonders, but below you will find various books and articles about wonder itself. By reading these, we hope that you can think about wonder as it relates to you as a new student in a new space, as well as the fields of study you may explore during your time at Smith.
