Cover to Cover 2025-26
The Cover to Cover series returns for its fourth year. President Anne F. Harris, along with members of the College’s senior leadership team, invite students, staff, and faculty to delve into a selection of contemporary books from Cover to Cover.
Seven works have been selected for the 2025–26 academic year. In the spirit of fostering discussions, in-person participation is limited per session. Registrations will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. Check the Campus Memo for registration information a few weeks prior to each session date.
Participants who do not own the book under discussion will be provided with access to an online or print copy.
All discussions for registered participants will be held from noon to 1 p.m. Lunch will be provided.
