News 2020: Virtual book club launches for alumni

Join the online group to discuss a new book each month

As the current situation resulting from the COVID-19 virus forces us to find new activities for ourselves, the Office of Alumni Relations is also busy creating new ways to connect and engage with our Corsair alumni digitally.

On April 1, the UMassD Alumni Virtual Book Club will launch with an opportunity to meet new alumni and chat about a new book each month. Using Goodreads, participants can join the group and talk about the book in the discussion boards. You'll need a free Goodreads account to join.

April's Book Selection

The first book selection for the month of April is “You Are a Badass” by Jen Sincero. We think you'll enjoy this light and humorous book about how to be your best. 

“In this refreshingly entertaining how-to guide, bestselling author and world-traveling success coach, Jen Sincero, serves up 27 bite-sized chapters full of hilariously inspiring stories, sage advice, easy exercises, and the occasional swear word, helping you to: Identify and change the self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors that stop you from getting what you want, create a life you totally love. And create it NOW, make some damn money already. The kind you've never made before.

By the end of You Are a Badass®, you'll understand why you are how you are, how to love what you can't change, how to change what you don't love, and how to use The Force to kick some serious ass.”

The book is available in print, digital, and audio formats on Amazon and other booksellers.

If you have any questions or need assistance accessing the Goodreads group, please contact Alumni Relations at alumni@umassd.edu.

Book club members are responsible for the purchase or borrowing the selected title.
