The Oviatt Library is pleased to host the second panel discussion of the Read to Lead initiative, featuring panelists from a variety of backgrounds with one common theme: how reading has enriched their personal and professional lives. Our distinguished panelists will discuss literature ranging from non-fiction to poetry and how it has shaped their leadership philosophies.
The Read to Lead Initiative includes 20 of our campus leaders from CSUN faculty, staff, students and alumni, all of whom will be featured in a physical exhibition in the Library.
