Starting in January, I will be launching “Let’s Learn Together,” a Buffalo State College reading club focused on topics such as cultural competency, diverse perspectives, and self-improvement. Each month, I will highlight a new book and invite the campus community to read along with me as we learn together. At the end of each month, readers will be welcome to engage and share their own learnings via social media. The first book in the series will be What If I Say the Wrong Thing? 25 Habits for Culturally Effective People, by Verna Myers. In this book, you'll find innovative and surprising ways to keep your personal diversity journey moving. Written in a way that makes this information bite-size and accessible, the book contains quick answers to typical What should I do? questions, like What if I say the wrong thing? What should I do? or What if I am at work and someone makes a sexist joke? What should I do?

The purpose of the book club is to engage the Buffalo State community in further learning and discussion that can expand everyone’s minds on these topics, creating a culturally competent community right here at Buffalo State. All are welcome to participate! Sharing will take place on the Equity and Campus Diversity Facebook page at the end of January. I hope you will join me. Let’s Learn Together!
