Identity Read-In Event!

Help us explore our Inner Space!

Finding out who one is and where one fits in is the central question for many writers—nonfiction and fiction alike.  Come join us as we explore the subject of inner space and identity in this year’s Common Academic Experience Read-In. 

We will have texts available for you to read, or you may bring one of your own, either a text that speaks to you about identity or one that you have written.  Please sign up for a time slot below.  We hope to be reading all day! 

Below you can view the empty spaces on the sign up sheet.
