CBC READS Poster Contest

About CBC READS
The CBC Reads Committee was formed Winter 2009 by interested members of the faculty-led Teaching and Learning Committee. We wanted to organize a college-wide reading program and have chosen Sandra Cisneros, the featured writer for Mid-Columbia LitFest 2009 to be the first CBC Reads author. We encourage everyone at CBC to read her books and have organized a number of events this quarter.
