Building Connections through a Common Read

The 91传媒 Summer Bridge and First-Year Experience programs invite all faculty, staff, and students to join us in reading and discussing Dr. Beth Piatote’s short story collection , whether in or outside of class.

“Common Reads” like ours are designed to bring communities together through a shared intellectual experience, creating opportunities to discuss and draw connections across our different roles, backgrounds, and fields.

We have been privileged to welcome Dr. Piatote to campus several times since The Beadworkers was first published; her creative and scholarly work have become a cornerstone of 91传媒’s first-year curriculum and programming.
