Title: The Forum Book Clubs
Facilitator: Jennifer Brockpahler, Activities and Programs
Description: For each of the five 2009/10 UWEC Forum presentations, a Book Club will be formed that will read a book or series of articles by the presenter. Two or three meetings will be held during the three weeks before the Forum presentation to discuss the reading. The club members will attend the Forum presentation, and hold at least one meeting after the presentation. Participants are welcome to register for one or more of the Book Clubs on first come, first served basis. Accepted members will be notified by CETL in fall semester. CETL will purchase books for up to 10 club members for each group.
