“Common Read Circles” is more than your ordinary book club! Join us as we navigate this year’s Common Read book; I Never Thought of It That Way, through a semester-long series of talking circles where we delve into the themes, lessons, and gain diverse perspectives from your peers on how to apply this valuable knowledge to your everyday life at Binghamton University!
