Send Me a Winter Break Must-Read by Dec. 7!

As I look toward a few quieter days over the upcoming winter break, I have the massive novel Wellness by Nathan Hill on my reading table. And, to keep me company on upcoming drives to meetings in Charlottesville and Roanoke, I have an even longer book, My Name is Barbra by Barbra Streisand, on my phone; at 48 hours, it will last through the holidays and probably into spring break, too.

Are there books you’re looking forward to reading — or gifting — over the holidays? Or books that you would recommend as perfect company for winter nights? New favorites or beloved classics?

I hope that you will share the title of one book that is on your list. Please send me the title and author to presidentsoffice@nvcc.edu by December 7, and I’ll share the complete list on December 12 (the last Tuesday Topic of 2023).

My thanks to the faculty and staff who tuned into Tuesday’s Office Hour Zoom! I am grateful for all you do to strengthen our community and support our students.
