The UAlbany School of Public Health in Rensselaer will
host bestselling author Dr. Robert Putnam tomorrow. The event is free
and open to the public.
MEET THE AUTHOR: Harvard University’s Dr. Robert
Putnam, the author of Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis,
will speak at the School of Public Health on Wednesday evening,
September 16th, at 5:00 p.m. in the main auditorium. Dr.
Putnam will sign copies of his books (including his equally well-known Bowling
Alone) following his talk. This event is part of the School of Public
Health’s “All School Read” program which began last spring when students chose Our
Kids to read over the summer and explore the issues when they returned to
classes this fall. Join us for a lively conversation about the growing
inequality of opportunity in the U.S. Light refreshments will be
served. Haven’t read the book? You are welcome to come and join the
discussion of the timely public health issues raised by Dr. Putnam.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase at a 20% discount from The
Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza. Members of book groups and all interested
individuals are welcome to attend. Directions to the School of Public
Health are here: http://www.albany.edu/sph/map_directions.php
