Join CCW members for one of two discussions: Option 1 is completely online, and Option II is in person, Metro accessible in Arlington, location TBD. All are welcome, especially if you serve on a scholarship committee or scholarship providing institution, and if you are concerned with the concepts of education/tax policy, equity or how the cost of education at Cornell remains out of reach for too many Americans. (CCW members can be focused on this book with an interest in conscientiously constructing our club's scholarship mission and practice.)
It's a quick read, and the audiobook goes fast, too. (8 chapters, each averaging 35 minutes.)
