AN EVENING WITH DIANE GUERRERO

The Provost Summer Read Program is built around a common book read by all first-year students during the summer. The 2018 selection was In the Country We Love: My Family Divided by Diane Guerrero. The University invited Diane Guerrero to share about her book, which personalizes immigration reform conversations and details the challenges she faced growing up in the United States.
From concept to final preparations, leading the creative and marketing on this large scale event was an exciting task.
