Read with Lakers presents an opportunity for alumni to connect with each other, keep learning and explore new ideas and perspectives. Several times a year, a new book is selected. There is no cost to participate and no sign-up, simply read at your own pace over the two-month window and then join a virtual discussion. Alumni Relations will host related events throughout the read.
