Academic Orientation Book Discussion Lunch

This event was a continuation of the advisors' workshop. The lunch was an opportunity to get a preview of the comments of the panelists who were speaking at Academic Orientation (which took place on Friday, August 29, from 2:45 to 4:00 PM) on the summer reading book, The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy. Although there will be no small group discussions this year, advisors of first year students are asked to accompany their advisees to the panel sessions. At this session, we discussed how panelists could engage students in the large group discussion sessions on Aug. 29, and how advisors and first year seminar instructors might productively engage with the book with their students in other venues.
