An Honors College winter tradition is back! Sign-ups are now open for the HC’s Winter Community Book Clubs!

Group members each get a free<\/strong> copy of their group’s book to read over the break, and groups meet with their host to discuss the book at the beginning of winter term. This is a fantastic way to meet interesting members of the broader Oregon State community and connect with fellow HC students. Attendance at the group meeting is a requirement of participation. Students who sign up first have priority in group assignments, so don’t delay in registering! Sign up here<\/a> by December 1st<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
