These are brief interviews with our talented Emory & Henry faculty members that are guaranteed to keep you sharp while we’re limited in our social activity. We’ll post times for the LIVE event, and then we’ll post a recorded version to be enjoyed and shared later.

We’ve all got a little extra time on our hands – so reading seems like a great option! Scott Sikes, Appalachian Center and blogger about reading, will share some great suggestions and talk a bit about why reading is a great option during downtime.
And here are some links from Scott to follow up on the talk:
