I hope this book will leave you with more hope and a sense of greater responsibility rooted in genuine concern for others’ well-being.
We've designed some prompts to help students, faculty, and all of the CU community to engage with the 2023 Buffs OneRead. These questions may be posed to an entire class, to small groups, to online communities, or as personal reflective prompts. The questions sampled here focus on reader experience and connection. For more discussion prompts and facilitation tips, or to join the conversation, please join the Buffs OneRead community course: Book of Joy.
