Faculty/Staff Book Study Group

About the Book Study Group: Each fall (and sometimes in the spring), the CELT hosts a reading group open to all university faculty and staff. The CELT purchases books for attendees (either physical copies or ebooks through the Noel Library), which are available for pick-up or download in advance of our first meeting. We meet three times over the course of the semester to discuss the selected book.
