Low Commitment Book+ Club

The Arizona Institute for Resilience is excited to welcome faculty, staff, students and friends to a monthly “book club” gathering!

Each meeting will explore a different resilience-oriented topic. Ahead of each meeting, we will provide suggested multimedia (such as podcasts, movies, books, or articles) for attendees to explore.

But! You’re not limited to those suggested materials – we encourage you to join in the conversation with your own recommendations and thoughts!

When and Where:

Stay updated on when and where the AIR Low Commitment Book+ Club will meet by joining our mailing and calendar invite list.

Who is Invited:

Anyone at the U of A interested in conversing about resilience and getting to know colleagues.

Sign up to join us!

If you have questions about the Low Commitment Book+ Club and how you can get involved, please reach out to Olivia Miltner, Maia Schneider, or Nancy Petersen.
