If you're anything like us, you probably have a long list of "to be read" books. We know that engaging in book discussions fosters a culture of curiosity and intellectual growth, reinforcing the idea that learning is a lifelong journey enriched by the exchange of ideas and insights with others. It is our hope that through thoughtful dialogue and shared reflections on relevant literature, educators not only enhance their own practices but also contribute to a dynamic community that benefits both their students and MSU broadly.

Goals for this program:


Cultivate a curiosity for continuous learning by engaging discussions of relevant teaching & learning publications
Enhance instructional practices and professional growth through the exchange of ideas and insights gained from shared reflections
Contribute to a collaborative community of educators that supports mutual development necessary to provide high-quality, evidence-based learning experiences across all modes of instruction.

No experience needed—we’ll guide you step by step as you combine shapes to bring your design to life. Your custom zipper pull is yours to keep—use it to fix a broken zipper, personalize your gear, or show off your new tech skills!

Join the MSU Libraries and Lansing’s The Poetry Room for an afternoon of poetry, connection and conversation celebrating student, alumni and community voices. The event opens with performances from the MSU Poetry Club alongside recent alumni, spotlighting emerging talent and the power of being heard. The showcase will be followed by acclaimed poet, author and viral sensation Olivia Gatwood, whose work blends humor, intimacy and sharp social insight. Gatwood will share poems as well as excerpts from her 2024 novel “Whoever You Are, Honey,” offering an unfiltered look into her craft and creative journey. The afternoon will conclude with a Q&A — a mix of moderated conversation and audience participation — creating a rare opportunity to connect with one of today’s most dynamic literary voices.

Olivia Gatwood is the author of two poetry collections, “New American Best Friend” and “Life of the Party,” and co-writer of Adele’s music video “I Drink Wine.” She has received international recognition for her poetry, writing workshops and work as a Title IX-compliant educator in sexual assault prevention and recovery. Her performances have been featured on HBO, MTV, VH1, the BBC and more, with poems appearing in “The Poetry Foundation,” “Lambda Literary” and “The Missouri Review.” Originally from Albuquerque, she now lives in Los Angeles.

Event is free and open to all.
