Slippery Rock University is hosting a free virtual event with an author and U.S. Army Veteran later today.
The annual Common Read event sponsored by the SRU English Department is planned for 8 p.m. Thursday through the Zoom online meeting platform.
More than 1,200 SRU students have been assigned to read books by poet Brian Turner this year. The evening will include Turner reading an excerpt from one of his books as well as leading a 25 minute presentation and a question and answer period.
The public is invited to attend through online registration on the SRU website.
