This event will not be recorded.

The Rising Professionals Committee invites you to the second NEWIEE Book Club meeting-a space designed to remind us of our love for learning, foster critical thinking, and spark new connections with fellow professionals. Join us in reading Silent Spring and discover how one woman’s voice sparked a global environmental awakening.

We’d love for all interested to join us in this thought-provoking discussion. Let’s explore the power of knowledge, advocacy and action together with this groundbreaking classic.
