CAL Book Club

CAL Book Club

The CAL Book Club is an inclusive space where faculty, leadership, and staff can engage in meaningful discussions about teaching, learning, and professional growth. We meet once a month to explore books that inspire new ideas, enhance instructional practices, and foster critical conversations.

Anyone is welcome to suggest a book, or a CAL team member may select a book to guide our discussions. The book club provides an opportunity to exchange ideas, gain new perspectives, and apply insights to our disciplines here at UDC. 

To suggest a book or join the club, please email [email protected].
