Common Reading Experience 2012

The 2nd annual Common Reading Experience will be Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 10:00a.m. to discuss The House of God by Samuel Shem. We will meet at local coffee shops that are great places to patronize and study. Sign-ups have been sent out via email using Sign-Up Genius, the same tool the SIM Center uses.

Refreshments at 5:30 PM, VCOM Cafeteria

Presentation at 6 PM, Classroom II
Please RSVP

Our guest is Ms. Noel Anderson, MT-BC, a board certified neurologic music therapist who works with patients with various developmental and neurological disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy, stroke, Alzheimer's, and brain injuries.

If you're a musician, you may be inspired to very directly apply your art in your future practice. If you like non-invasive therapeutic modalities, this is a great opportunity to learn about a potential resource.
