Join a summer reading circle with the Searle Center where instructors collectively explore the Litowitz Center’s 2026 campus read, Vigil, and exchange ideas for integrating the text into courses.

Through generative, cross‑disciplinary dialogue and reflective pedagogy, participants will develop adaptable discussion questions, learning activities, and assignments that spark engagement, invite constructive disagreement, and connect learning to pressing real‑world questions.
