Photos and story by James Hill
“Sylvania Reads!” – an initiative to encourage faculty, staff and students to read books that address topics and issues pertaining to diversity – showcased, “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,” as the book pick for the year. On Wednesday, Feb. 17, a handful of Sylvania Campus dignitaries – Campus President Linda Gerber among them – will read the book out loud in the cafeteria in 15-minute intervals. Beginning at 10 a.m., the performance will help set the stage for author Sherman Alexie’s visit to the Sylvania Campus on April 14 for a forum in the Performing Arts Center.
