Spartan Connect Events | Stone Building Lawn (across from Jackson Library on College Ave.) Rain location is Jarrell Hall in Jackson Library.
To celebrate Banned Books Week this year, the University Libraries will be hosting a Read-a-Thon where we’ll read Looking for Alaska aloud in public. We’re looking for UNCG students, faculty, and staff to participate!     Sign up to read a section (UNCG users only): Click here  You don’t need to have read Looking for Alaska before to participate  You don’t need to bring your own copy of the book (unless you just want to!)  Each person will read approximately ten pages    You are still welcome to join us for snacks and Banned Books Week swag even if you don’t want to sign up to read!    Why are we doing this?  Looking for Alaska has been on the American Library Association’s list of the Top 10 Most Challenged Books six times since 2012.  Other books by the author, John Green, such as The Anthropocene Reviewed, are widely read in high schools. He, along with brother Hank Green, is known for his Crash Course YouTube channel and he is an advocate for global health equity and mental health.  Book bans restrict access to new ideas and diverse perspectives.  We believe that John Green’s popularity will help students form a connection to the issue of book banning in schools.

Graduate School Applications can be complex and nerve-wrecking for many candidates. That’s why Career & Professional Development wants to help walk you through the process. During this presentation, we will go over the process for applying for graduate school, reflect on motivations for applying, and think about the best strategies for success.

This discussion will empower students to reflect on their strengths and passions while also exploring the role of graduate school in their future career plans. We will discuss the GRE, Personal Statements, Specialized Tests for law school and medical school, and how to effectively discuss letters of recommendation with faculty members.

If you have any accommodation needs, please email Kristina Feduik at k_feduik@uncg.edu in advance.
