Hulbert Center for Southwestern Studies 
Book Discussion Group

Southwest studies has a wide appeal for a number of people within the college and local community.  Many individuals share an interest in learning about and discussing issues of the southwest.  Hence, the creation of the Hulbert Center for Southwestern Studies Book Discussion Group. The group meets twice during the academic year (normally in October and April) to discuss a book or books about the Southwest or closely related areas.
