Dimensions Reading Group

2009 Book List

  • The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman
Other selections to be determined
Do you want to read interesting (and free!) books about the lives of physicians, health policy, biotechnology, cultural influences on health, and forensics...for FUN!? If so, join the Dimensions Reading Group.


The first and third Wednesday of the blocks during Fall semester, students, faculty, and healthcare professionals meet over lunch to discuss books relevant to the many dimensions of healthcare. Bring your food and your book!

The Dimensions reading group has the summer long assignment of reading The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman.  This book is Cornell College's selection for the One Book, One Campus, One Community discussions and New Student Orientation activities.  Al incoming students will receive a copy of the book and returning students interested in participating in the Dimensions reading group were encouraged to sign up for a book as well.  

Diane Ackerman, author of The Zookeeper's Wife, will be joining us on campus for Cornell's Opening Convocation and other events in September.
