Virtual Connections in South Africa – Join us February 18

Trevor Noah book clubThe Global Learning Office is hosting a virtual book discussion on author Trevor Noah’s book – Born a Crime.

In this life-changing book, Noah tells his coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. The discussion (moderated by EDU Africa) will be centered around a variety of “glocal” themes: bridging cultural differences, race and identity, and overcoming adversity. If you need a copy of the book, email nadine.russell@cpcc.edu.

If you don’t get to read the book in time, you are still highly encouraged to engage in the dialogue! Register for the event, held Friday, February 18th from 11 – 12:30 pm.  The event is Friday, Feb 18th from 11-12:30pm.

This virtual program gives you the unique opportunity to engage and connect directly with local South Africans to find out what makes this Rainbow Nation so special. Don’t miss out – save your seat today!
