Please join BIG on Tuesday, September 17 from 12-1 p.m. for the first meeting of the Berkeley International Group Book Club. We’ll gather and informally discuss Solito: A Memoir by Javier Zamora. (Participants are responsible for securing and reading the book in advance) We will meet in person and in a location on or near campus. We’ll announce the location in the weeks before the meeting.
The Berkeley International Group is a recognized Staff Organization Community of Practice, offering networking, professional development, and collaboration for UC Berkeley staff and faculty interested in international education. BIG is open to all UC Berkeley staff with a passion for (or interest in) international education, including those working in international student services, student exchanges, global engagement, international program development, area studies - and more!
The BIG Book Club will host a monthly meeting to discuss a selected fiction or non-fiction text featuring experiences and perspectives from around the world or that are under-represented in the United States. We will broaden our collective understanding while also connecting with colleagues with shared interests in global engagement and internationalization. Those that are interested will have the opportunity to suggest and select future reads and the direction of the book club. Happy Reading!
