Buffs One Read
The University Libraries' Buffs One Read program received a special recognition in this year's Campus Sustainability Awards presented by the Environmental Center.
The Book of Joy, Lasting Happiness in a Changing World, by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, with Douglas Abrams has been selected.
Taj Dehart, Livia Follet and Emily Reynolds were awarded a $500 prize for their essays based on this year’s Buffs One Read selection, “Braiding Sweetgrass.”
The University Libraries will host two workshops on eco-anxiety: “Climate Wisdom Lab” on March 7 and “Eco-Anxiety Zine Workshop” on March 8.
At a sold-out talk on December 1, Robin Wall Kimmerer discussed the importance of tapping Indigenous knowledge “not so that we can go back to some imagined past but so we can go forward together and find solutions that are not embedded only by the Western worldview.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of “Braiding Sweetgrass” is speaking at the Boulder Theater on Thursday, December 1 as part of the Buffs One Read program.
The free event is part of the Buffs One Read, a campus-wide program produced by University Libraries and Student Affairs that builds community through the shared reading of one book.
Read the chapter “Honorable Harvest” in Braiding Sweetgrass and join the discussion September 14.
First-years can get their copy of the Buffs One Read book at the campus bookstore. The University Libraries have copies to check out as well.
Connect with other Buffs by reading the same book and joining campus community events.
