Are you looking for an opportunity to have active discussions with the students, faculty, and staff at Virginia Western? Sign up for the Summer Book read!  We will be reading Caste: The Origins of our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson

In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings.

Dr. Jolene Hamm, Associate Vice President of Institutional Effectiveness and Interim Chief Diversity Officer, will lead this discussion starting June 16 at 1 pm. The weekly meetings will be held via Zoom.  If you sign up using the QR Code below, you will receive reminders and a copy of the book (while supplies last).
