Common Book author Eileen Garvin to visit campus

Celebrated author Eileen Garvin will visit Auburn’s campus on Oct. 22 to discuss this year’s Common Book, The Music of Bees.

Garvin will give a presentation in the Student Activities Center Auditorium beginning at 7 p.m. The event is open to the campus and local communities; all students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend. Following her talk, Garvin will take questions and conclude the evening with a book signing.

Sponsored by the Office of the Provost in partnership with the Auburn Public Library, Auburn University’s Common Book program is a collective educational experience that fosters campus and community-wide dialogue. Gavin’s visit culminates a series of semester-long events based around the book’s key themes of family, loyalty and finding purpose.

Attendees are asked to arrive by 6:45 p.m. Advance registration is requested for seating. To register for Garvin’s talk and read more about Auburn’s Common Book program, visit aub.ie/commonbook.
