Organizers of the “Beyond the Lines” media club at UNCP, hosted a “Readers Gathering” on Aug. 23. The big recommendation from the group for a ‘Must Read’ book is “The Fourth Wing” by Rebecca Yarros and the ‘Must Watch’ is “The Glory”available on Netflix.
The “Beyond the Lines” club was founded with the goal to discuss media and encourage critical thinking. The event was part of the Find Your Community Week.
“This was an intimate and welcoming event, I will definitely be coming back,” said Taona Namalima, a freshman in Business Administration.
The Readers Gathering event was held in the Office of Student Inclusivity and Diversity. Attendants went around the room introducing themselves and their favorite or most recent book or podcast.
The second week of the Fall 2023 semester was labeled as Find Your Community Week. Social events were hosted by many clubs and community leaders trying to help build a stronger sense of belonging on campus between students and faculty.
“I’m still looking for my community but I do like this one because I feel like it is laid back.” said Kei’Ana Mims, Senior in Psychology.
