Honors Book Club
Do you like to read? Reading and then discussing the contents of a book with a group of other Honors students is the purpose of this special group. The HBC meets regularly during the first 12 weeks of each semester, and then takes a break as students prepare for the end of the term. The first book for Fall, 2007, is the first-year summer reading book "Behind the Veil", available at the campus book store.
If you're interested in participating in this group, contact Dean Katz.
