About the Book Club:

in a discussion held at Alumnae Weekend 2006
and led by three of our favorite English professors,
Dr. Bes Spangler, Dr. Sally Buckner and Dr.
Janet Wester.
As we are now in the 2006-2007 academic year,
you are invited to join in the fun of reading
the next Peace Alumnae Book Club selection.
And we invite you to host a Book Club event

the Alumnae Office, and we'll send you a Book
Club Tool-Kit that will make your Book
Club organizing as easy as 1-2-3 !
With this year's Book Club selection, you will

2006-2007 Book Club:
For
the 2006-2007 academic year, Peace has chosen
the campus theme Evolution, Growth, and Change.
Over the summer, all first-year students will
read Reason for Hope, A Spiritual Journey, the
memoir of one of the most interesting and inspiring
women of our times, Jane Goodall. In this book,
the world-famous primatologist shares the challenges
of both science and spirit that she has encountered,
providing a revealing look into her personal
and professional life. With candor and great
insight, Dr. Goodall explains how she has continued
to find reason for hopein the face of the challenges
that we confront for our personal lives and
for the planet.
Reason for Hope is one of several ways Peace
College will be exploring the theme of Evolution,
Growth and Change in the upcoming academic year.
On November 7th, a representative of the Jane
Goodall Institute will visit the Peace campus
and share with us a presentation on Goodall's
work. The College's Division of Sciences is
inviting a speaker on the topic of human biological
evolution to the campus in the spring semester,
and the College is working on ways to collaborate
with downtown museums to explore this theme.
Dates and times of these events will be announced
this summer.
For more information about holding or joining
a Peace Book Club in your area, please contact
Meghan McCleery at (919) 508-2024 or mmccleery@peace.edu. |
