The Monday Meet Up series will begin next Monday, February 16! 

Members of the Old Dominion University community are invited to participate in a series of discussions to reflect upon the information and ideas examined in the book, The Abundant University, by Michael D. Smith.  

Invited panelists will engage in thoughtful conversations from 12-1 pm each week in the SGA Senate Chambers Room 1302 in Webb Center and on Zoom at this link. 

The book is available electronically via Open Access by going to the University Libraries Monarch “One Search” Portal and signing in with your Midas ID.
