Pride ERG x Living Writers Book Club

With the blessing of the amazing Professor CJ Hauser, Colgate's Pride ERG will host a book club. We will focus on three amazing queer authors coming to campus this semester. You don't have to read the books to come to book club, but we do ask that you come ready to discuss the writer's visit.

Come to one event or all three! We will attend each event, starting at 4:30 p.m., stay for the book signings, and then move to The Local Culture at 6 p.m. for a discussion about the book and the event. We will cover a cheese board or two.
