Join the Cover to Cover Series for a Shared Reading Experience, Open to Students, Staff, and Faculty
Reading discussion groups co-led by President Anne F. Harris
The Cover to Cover series returns for the second year. President Anne F. Harris along with members of the College’s senior leadership team, will delve into a selection of contemporary books from Cover to Cover and students, staff, and faculty are invited to join.
Seven works have been selected for the 2023-24 academic year. In the spirit of fostering discussions, in-person participation is limited per session. Registrations will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. The book will be provided to participants who do not own a copy.
All discussions for registered participants will be held from noon to 1:00 p.m. in the Nollen First Floor Conference Room.
