"Compelling anecdotes of students... finding pathways through college into productive and rewarding lives." —David Perry, Washington Post
About this Event

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Scott Carlson and Carlo Rotella to celebrate and discuss their respective books – how college faculty and staff can help students "hack" their college experience through a proactive, personalized approach to success – and – teaching and learning in a classroom full of skeptics.

Scott and Carlo will be in conversation with Sophie Ghalem and Liam Covert. They will sign books after the talk!

Tickets and books are available both on eventbrite and at the door.
