If you've ever tried starting an engaging conversation with a group of people you know it's hard. Book clubs have historically been a great way to solve this problem. Traditionally, book clubs gather people who are reading the same book to connect with each other on a regular basis... but who has time for that anymore?
When we asked OWHE members at Oregon State what they wanted from their membership, they told us they were interested in participating in activities that had elements of professional development, social/networking, and books. None of the Oregon State Institutional Representatives had the bandwidth to organize and run a book club, so we came up with another idea.
