Undergraduate Common Reading Experience...Check it Out

From Jared Tippets (PhD-SHED)

The Office of New Student and Parent Programs invites all students, faculty, and staff to an evening with The Color of Water author James McBride as part of the inaugural Common Reading Experience. McBride will present “The Color of Water: Meditations on Identity,” an intimate discussion regarding the process of writing the book and his subsequent search for identity.

We encourage your attendance even if you have not read the book. Other campuses who have used The Color of Water describe McBride as a dynamic speaker whose unique background and vast array of experiences will be engaging and prompt reflection on your own identity. For students, this event is designated as both a TallyCats event and UK101 cultural event.

When: Thursday October 1, 2009 at 7:15 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.)
Where: Singletary Center for the Arts, Concert Hall [MAP]
Cost: Free, non-ticketed

This event is FREE and open to the public, so arrive early for guaranteed seating. Overflow seating will be offered in the Singletary Center Recital Hall courtesy of Wildcat Student TV.

Want a free copy of the book?? There are a few additional copies of the customized book available. Students, faculty, and staff may pick up a complimentary copy during business hours in 518 Patterson Office Tower while supplies last.
