<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\u201c I think this opportunity with Novels for Hope gives us a chance as colleagues, as peers, to talk about the complex issues that are discussed within caricature, within novels within books, within scenarios that are either both fabricated and realistic and gives us a chance to collaborate and connect on things in a way that we typically don’t get to do,\u201d Residential Hall Director, Christopher Willis said. \u201cAnd so when you talk about being in an enriching experience as a peer and as a professional within higher education, this is an opportunity to really go outside of your normal box, go outside of yourself, push your boundaries whether that be talking about privilege or immigration status, which are some of the components we talked about in our most recent novel, it gives you a second chance to look at yourself outside of what’s your day-to-day.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cNovels for Hope is a diversity book club that looks at many different aspects of life for individuals and at this particular one Behold The Dreamers<\/em> talked about an immigrant coming into the United States and what that was like for him and his family,\u201d said Tina Wolbert, Assistant Director of Student Engagement, Diversity & Inclusion. \u201cThis novel in this book club really offers individuals a chance to learn about people outside of our area. We live in a fairly small play and we get the chance through these novels and books to get a really different perspective on the experience of other individuals that may not be like us in some ways and are very similar to us and in other ways.\u201d
