Northland College President Michael A. Miller and Mary Trettin have invited the larger campus community to participate in a global read of philosopher and nature writer Kathleen Dean Moore’s Great Tide Rising: Towards Clarity and Moral Courage in a Time of Planetary Change.

Great Tide Rising has been chosen as a “global read” by the Charter for Compassion Global Book Club, to be discussed virtually in the Alvord Theatre on Saturday, October 22, 2016, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

“This is an ideal opportunity to bring together students, staff, faculty, and the broader community to read one book in the same timeframe on a subject we’re all interested in, and to participate in a global discussion in October,” Miller said.
