Noon book group to hold first reading Nov. 14 The Healthy UND Spiritual Subcommittee would like to invite any interested student, staff member or faculty to join together to explore spirituality on our campus. As a first step, we have selected "Encouraging Authenticity and Spirituality in Higher Education" to read and discuss. This groundbreaking book provides a comprehensive resource that addresses the growing movement for incorporating spirituality as an important aspect of the meaning and purpose of higher education. Written by Arthur W. Chickering, Jon C. Dalton, and Leisa Stamm, experts in the field of educational leadership and policy, "Encouraging Authenticity and Spirituality in Higher Education" shows how to encourage increased authenticity and spiritual growth among students and education professionals by offering alternative ways of knowing, being, and doing. Each participant is encouraged to purchase a book. They can be ordered through Barnes & Noble or purchased online. The first meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 14, from noon to 1 p.m. in the Leadership Conference Room, main floor, Memorial Union. An alternate meeting time may be determined based upon the wishes of the group. If you have any questions, you may contact Kay Williams at kay.williams@ARS.USDA.GOV We look forward to meeting you. -- Kay Williams, Medical Laboratory Technician, Human Nutrition Research Center, kay.williams@ars.usda.gov, 701-795-8441
