About Our Book Clubs
The Leadership Institute will offer book clubs throughout the year. They will be virtual and supported by centers and Leadership Institute partners. The aim of the Leadership Institute Book Clubs is to create multicultural, intergenerational spaces where participants can delve further into texts, while learning alongside people from a multitude of social locations.
The timing of this book club is intentional before the FREE 2024 Dawe Lecture, to be held Thursday, March 14, at 6:30 p.m. You may participate in the lecture that evening in person or via livestream.
