PCPA Summer Book Club
 This
summer’s reading is, Where I Am From: Student
Affairs Practice from the Whole of Students’ Lives,
edited by Susan E. Borrego and Kathleen Manning.
Students from underrepresented groups-including
students of color; students with disabilities; gay,
lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered students-bring
their wisdom, experience, and varied cultural
perspectives to college and university campuses
across the US. The 42 self-biographical narratives
declare what needs to be said about their
experiences and the corresponding work of student
affairs practice in ways that theory does not.
The
book club is free and open to PCPA members only*.
Its purpose is to provide a way for members to stay
current on literature in the field. The book club
features:
1. A
study guide.
2.
Online discussions throughout the summer
moderated by Edinboro University professor
Dr.
Sue Norton.
3. Follow-up discussion at the PCPA Fall
conference, moderated by Dr. Norton.
4.
Discounted price on the book.
