Signature Events
Favorite Reads From Your Favorite Faculty
The New Orleans Alumni Chapter is hosting the Favorite Reads from Your Favorite Faculty book club starting in the fall of 2023. For each session, we have invited a different faculty member from across campus to sit down with us via Zoom to talk about what book they are absolutely loving at the moment. This year, Kevin Foose from the Counseling Department, Dr. Tracey Watts from the English Department, and Dr. Lauren Doughty from the History Department have agreed to talk all about the books that have kept them turning pages!
