"Don't Judge a Book by Its
Cover"
Students and employees are invited to participate in the University of
Arkansas "Living Library". A living library functions similarly
to a regular library, however, the Books are real, diverse, human beings, who
teach others about themselves and their experiences through interpersonal
dialogue. For students, this is an excellent opportunity to
interview someone different from yourself, and may help you fulfill a diversity
requirement for a class (please check with your instructor to be sure).
For employees, the time you spend having a dialogue with a new Book can
count as one hour towards your UA diversity certificate.
Participants in the Professional Development Institute can receive credit
towards your certificates. For everyone, this is an opportunity to
learn from, and better understand, each other and our cultures.
The following are a list of living Books that are available to be
checked out, available at varying times (as listed for each), on
April 2nd from 10:00 ? 2:00, April 3rd from 12:00 ? 5:00, and April
4th from 12:00 ? 4:00. Please e-mail Melissa Hogan
