Ike Skelton Reading Program

See blackboard hand-out for instructions on how to access the discussions. Faculty leaders will post questions the first day of each month. Discussions will take place during the last ten days of each month (no discussions in July and December). Enrollees are expected to participate beginning three months after graduation. For the more popular books—Creasy, for example, which was selected by 28 participants—we will keep the discussion groups to a manageable size as a way of promoting intellectual rigor; not more than twelve participants per group.
