BIG, Booked & Beyond: Book Club
September 9 | 12-1 p.m. | CH 173* (Enter Library CH170 and turn right.)
This year, the book club will be traveling with fun snacks and hosted by several different offices, where we will learn about neurodiversity through the book selected and discuss how the host office can better support neurodiverse students.
Like all BIG Read (TBR) events, the traveling book club is open to all students, faculty and staff and aspires to foster empathy and deepen understanding through shared conversations and diverse perspectives.
The host of this book club is Learning Commons. We will discuss: TBA.
If you don’t have a chance to read it all, come anyway; there is a lot to learn and the discussions are so great!
*If you are on the Findlay Campus, reach out to Paul Weaver to join.
