One Book-One College Kick Off Event Jan. 12th

This book is also available on our digital e-readers!  



One Book One College Kick Off event: 

January 12, 2011  (11:30am – 1:30pm) 

LLRC Gallery 2^nd floor. 

 Complimentary copies of books will be given to the students whose classes participate in the Read Together activities. 

The kick-off event will be Wednesday, Jan. 12. 

Please join other students, faculty and staff as we read together.

Here are some quotes from Amazon's book reviews: 

The book tells about a man who has just found out he was dying so he speaks of

 "seizing every moment" ...because... "time is all you have...

and you may find one day that you have less than you think".

The Last Lecture is about living, not about dying. 

 It's full of warmth, humor, and can be very inspiring to all who choose

to make this a "Spring Thing" to do this semester:]
