Now in its fifth year, Reading Together: Learning, Caring, and Community at Lane, is an exciting year long, campus-wide project centered around something absolutely basic to education: READING. Through the mechanism of two closely linked books, we explore issues connected with our college’s core values: Learning, Diversity, Innovation, Collaboration and Partnership, Integrity, and Accessibility.
In conjunction with the 2007-2008 theme, War: Survival, Loss, and Reconciliation, Reading Together sponsors activities centered around these books, including course involvement, performing arts productions, art exhibits, lectures, guest speakers, author visits, forums, films, student presentations, service projects, and more. Reading Together reaches across traditional borders—borders between campus employee and student groups; borders between disciplines; borders between different ways of learning, different life experiences, different areas of interest.
Join us on November 7th as two local writers share their war-related experiences and writings. In connection with Steinman's memoir, the Reverand Edgar Peara of Eugene, a WWII vet who served in Europe, Africa, and then in Okinawa and the occupation of Korea, will share from his editorial essays. Kim Findling Cooper, a freelance writer from Bend, will share from her essay "Witnessing" about her experiences accompanying her father, a Vietnam veteran, to an Army reunion in Texas in 2004. |
