Events
The Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning and the College of Education and Human Development are building a year of education and events around the shared question: Can one person make a difference?
As part of this process, the entire college community is joining our incoming students in reading a common book: A Lesson Before Dying, by Ernest Gaines, which shows that one person can make a strong impact, even in the face of demoralizing circumstances.
Please join us in reading A Lesson Before Dying, which earned the National Book Critics Circle Award, and join our college for a number of related events. We are eager to share the ways that we, as a college, make a difference through transformational research, top-quality education, and partnerships with our community beyond campus.

More than 400 first-year students listened to the author read from the book and engaged him in a lively discussion, via satellite at the Ted Mann Concert Hall on Oct. 7, 2009. Enjoy this video recording of the entire event:
