2023 No-Strings-Attached Summer Book Club 

This year the Faculty Center is trying something different for our Summer Book Club. Inspired by our colleagues at Oregon State University, we are having a No-Strings-Attached, Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-Style Book Club. 

Groups can range from 3 - 5 members and can include faculty, librarians, and staff associated with teaching, learning, and advising.

Here’s how it works: 

• • You pick a book from the list below.
    • Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Code by Emily Nagoski & Amelia Nagoski (physical book only)
    • Inciting Joy: Essays by Ross Gay (physical book only)
    • Inclusive Teaching: Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom by Kelly A. Hogan and Viji Sathy (available as physical book or as a free ebook through Rowan Libraries)
    • Ungrading: Why Grading Students Undermines Learning (and What to Do Instead) by Susan D. Blum (available as physical book or as a free ebook through Rowan Libraries)

• You pick a route:

• • • Route 1: Get 2 - 4 colleagues/friends to agree to read the same book as you and complete one request.
    • Route 2: Specify your preferences in your request and we will pair you with others interested in the same book.

• We order the books for you and give you the books for free.

• You gather with colleagues and enjoy the discussion in places and at times that work for you (asynchronous, synchronous in person, synchronous online). Just aim to finish by the end of summer.

What's the Catch? There isn’t one. (Except that you should register ASAP . . .  We will keep the application open until our funds for physical books are depleted.)

Sign up here by June 1st.

• Route 1: Get 2 - 4 colleagues/friends to agree to read the same book as you and complete one request for your group.
• Route 2: Specify your preferences in your request and we will pair you with others interested in the same book. 

Physical books will be available for pickup in the Faculty Center or on-campus delivery on or after July 1st.
