We invite students to join the Cénacle Poétique, small First Year of Studies reading and conversation circles that will meet monthly in the homes of faculty. Spring readings will include: JRR Tolkien, The Hobbit, (18 February); Tracy Kidder, Mountains beyond Mountains (18 March); and Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers (15 April). Books will be available for purchase at the Hammes Notre Dame Book Store. Meetings will take place on Thursday evenings, 5:30-8 pm. Transportation will be arranged, and dinner will be provided.
Please contact Dr. Maureen Dawson in the First Year of Studies (mdawson3@nd.edu) if you are interested or have questions. Space is limited, so please don’t delay. This is a wonderful way to enrich your Notre Dame experience and develop a healthy appreciation of reading and conversation as a creative and life-changing art.
