WIM Brown Bag Book Club survey

WIM Book Club survey. We’re trying to gauge interest in a WIM sponsored book club at HSC. If you could please take our survey at https://usc.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3yHFK4gvoowxzdr of books you’re reading and non-fiction books you’d like to read in a WIM Book Club, so we can get some idea of what the first book club book will be. Survey is open until October 16. We’d also like to know what weekday between 12-1 at HSC would work best for you for the monthly meetings. Once we get the survey results, we’ll send out another email with a date and location.
