Ideas for our next book...

Hey guys! One of the suggestions we've received is to incorporate the leadership aspects of mainstream books into our discussions rather than focusing solely on "leadership books."

So, what better book/series to start with than................................. *drumroll*

Harry Potter!!!!

We would come together and discuss how Harry displayed leadership attributes and traits throughout the series.

Let us know what you think about this idea! Comment on this post, email us at dla1@drexel.edu or even post on our facebook wall.

Change is just around the corner!

At our last meeting on February 29th, there were several extremely valuable suggestions offered that will, hopefully, improve on the experience of the club in the future! We are working to integrate these changes and bring a bigger and better club to you in the Spring term!

Do YOU have any ideas that you think will help us make this book club more appealing and fun to the student population? If so, contact us at: dla1@drexel.edu . We'd love to hear from you!
