The book is intended to reach across many of the College\u2019s curricula and is incorporated into assignments in many courses, including as required reading selections, critical analysis projects, art projects, and more. Furthermore, this common reading program across the College community promotes discourse and learning beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>The five finalists were chosen from a selection of 20 book titles nominated by SPC faculty. The SPC Reads Nomination Committee members voted for their top five choices based on reviews, programming options, course integration ideas, and each books\u2019 correlation to this year\u2019s theme of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. After the final book is chosen in the all-College vote, the SPC Reads Planning Committee will convene to organize programs and activities related to the book.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Questions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have questions, please contact <a href=\"mailto:morrel.kari@spcollege.edu?subject=SPC%20Reads\">Kari Morrel<\/a> at (727) 398-8255 or <a href=\"mailto:knipp.paula@spcollege.edu?subject=SPC%20Reads\">Paula Knipp<\/a> at (727) 712-5240.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vote Now!
