Explore interesting and unpredictable topics that will stretch your horizons at Journal Club!
What is Journal Club?
Journal Club is meant to be informal, enjoyable, and intellectually stimulating. It’s a place for anyone in the Gonzaga community to explore ideas and research that interests them. It’s a community of students, faculty, and staff who gather together to say, “This is what I’m reading, this is what I’m interested in, and this is what I’m thinking.”
When We Meet During the Summer:
10:00 – 11:30 Wed. morning in Tilford, Room 105.
DATES: July 23
