“The Defining Decade” (Meg Jay)

The club will run over three weeks, beginning Wednesday, Sept. 30, and is only open to College of Arts and Sciences students.
The novel explores the importance of our 20s. Jay discusses common misconceptions and how to “make the most” of this age professionally and personally. During the club, students will engage in discussions about health, relationships, technology and careers from the book.
