Read with Lakers
Read with Lakers is a virtual opportunity for alumni to connect through books. Reading promotes lifelong learning by opening our minds to new ideas and perspectives. Through programming related to the book, we can share our thoughts, learn from one another, and have fun. Join us!
How it Works
- There is no sign-up or cost to participate.
- Read at your own pace over the two-month window.
- Join us for the virtual book discussion at the end of the read. Details and registration for that event are available below.
- We also encourage you to join us for other related events throughout the read. These events may give you new perspective as you read the book.
