2025 Alumni Book Club
2025-04-23 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom
Join fellow alumni and friends this Spring in reading Put Your Big Girl Pants On: and Other Power Moves to Increase Influence by Meg Bucaro Wojtas (’98).
This empowering book offers strategies to help everyone enhance their influence through authentic, confident communication. Your “big girl pants” symbolize self-worth and the courage to own your voice in a world that doesn’t always recognize it. Bucaro reminds readers that you don’t need to hold a position of power to communicate powerfully.
Whether you’re looking to refine your communication skills, find the right words in challenging moments, avoid post-conversation regret, or simply need an encouraging boost—this book club is for you and we hope you will join us on April 23 from wherever you are. Everyone is welcome!
Support a fellow Duhawk and embrace the spirit of #DuhawksSupportingDuhawks by grabbing your copy today!
