3. Books in My Life: Jacquelyn Gill
Time & Date: 7pm, March 29
Location: Fogler Library Classroom
In this series, members of the UMaine community will speak about their experience of reading, their awakening as readers, their past and current best books (and maybe even their worst reads). They’ll venture far outside their scholarly fields and bring us into the world of their personal reading.
The next installment of this series will feature Jacquelyn Gil, Assistant Professor of Paleoecology and Plant Ecology at the University of Maine. Please share this event with any students, staff, or faculty who might be interested in attending.
