Campus Community Book Read

Statement from President Martha E. Pollack

As a campus community, we have a collective responsibility to engage in difficult but critical conversations – to listen genuinely to, and learn from, one another. To help bring focus to these conversations, I invite all of you to participate in a Community Book Read of "How to Be an Antiracist," by National Book Award winner Ibram X. Kendi.
