DEM Go Big Read Book Club
One of the ways we strengthen DEM’s Culture of Belonging is by creating opportunities for team members to connect, learn from one another, and engage in meaningful conversations across teams and roles. The annual Go Big Read program provides a great opportunity to do just that.
This year’s Go Big Read selection is Custodians of Wonder by Eliot Stein, and we are excited to once again host a DEM book club to read and discuss it together.
Below is a brief description of the book:
Eliot Stein has traveled the globe in search of remarkable people preserving some of our most extraordinary cultural rites. From a man saving the secret ingredient in Japan’s 700-year-old soy sauce recipe to the last Inca bridge master who rebuilds a grass-woven bridge each year in the Peruvian highlands, Stein uncovers an almost lost world.
Custodians of Wonder tells the stories of the last custodians preserving age-old rites on the brink of disappearance.
In addition to participating in a campus-wide program, the book club is an opportunity to connect with colleagues across DEM, share perspectives, and engage in thoughtful discussions. We hope these conversations will contribute to a positive team member experience and help strengthen the sense of community that is central to our Culture of Belonging.
Please complete this form by September 4. if you would like to participate in the book club. DEM will provide copies of the book for all participants.
We will receive copies of the book in early September, with virtual book club meetings starting in late September or early October.
