A faculty/staff book group on campus to read and discuss books about issues of identity and diversity. If you've joined before, we hope you'll return for at least one book. If you're newly interested in coming, all are welcome. You can join for all four or read as many as you are interested in. (Note: If you are coming for TDP credit, you'll need to come for 3 out of the 4 books.). If you are interested in attending any of the meetings (even if you already have books from me), please fill out this survey, which will be used for email reminders and zoom links:

Elisa has copies of the books for checkout. For more detailed information, please visit the Diversity Reads website.
