Last chance to register: An Afternoon with Dave Isay Feb 25
Feb. 25, 2026
3:30–4:30 p.m.
CASE Auditorium
Don’t miss your chance to discover what it means to find work that truly matters. Join us for an inspiring talk with Dave Isay, founder of Storycorps and author of this year’s Buffs One Read, Callings: The Purpose and Passion of Work. Uncover the power of storytelling and celebrate the gift of listening with the CU community. Seats are limited and registration is required.
In Callings, Isay compiles powerful real-life stories from the StoryCorps archive—the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered. StoryCorps has given nearly half a million Americans the chance to record interviews about their lives, pass wisdom from one generation to the next, and leave a legacy for the future. Callings offers stories of people discovering meaning in their work, sometimes early, sometimes after life-changing decisions, and what it takes to pursue purpose with courage and resilience.
