This summer, the UMB Reads! Book Club launched with "The Creativity Leap" by Natalie Nixon. More than 40 UMB staff and faculty registered for this engaging initiative, sponsored by the Staff Senate, Employee Learning and Development, the Health Sciences and Human Services Library, and the Core Values program.
Participants connected through virtual sessions and wrapped up the experience with an in-person celebration in the Gladhill Boardroom. It was a time filled with thoughtful conversation, creative expression, and delicious treats. A heartfelt thank-you to all who joined us!
Up next in the UMB Reads! series is "Learning to Disagree: The Surprising Path to Navigating Differences with Empathy and Respect" by John Inazu and Tish Harrison Warren. This timely read is available on Percipio and aligns with UMB’s core values of Respect and Integrity.
We hope you’ll join us for the next chapter of UMB Reads! kicking off virtually Aug. 20 at 12:15 p.m.
UMB Reads! fall registration is now open.
