Faculty and staff summer reading
One final item: We asked four of our Poly programs to recommend a book for faculty and staff summer reading. Each faculty and staff member is picking one of these recommendations to read over the summer, and we invite you to as well. Purchase one and please save your receipt to submit for reimbursement when we return to campus in August. At our opening meetings, we will divide into groups for book discussions. Read on to learn about the recommendations, along with links to give you more insight into each selection.
