\"\"<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2017 Summer Book League! Our participants read 104,335 pages total, and we couldn’t be prouder of them.<\/p>\n

This year, we also piloted a Facebook group for our readers, and brought back extra points for reader reviews, some of which were shared in weekly update emails.<\/p>\n

We had three raffle winners: Akeya from the department of First & Second Year Advising, Valerie Collier from the School of Education, and Sue from ITS. <\/p>\n

Our 3 top readers were: Mark–who serves as program director for Communication Studies in the School of Communication–with 11,513 pages in third place; Margareth Schubert from the Office of the General Counsel with 15,924 pages; and our winner, Professor Emerita from the School of Nursing Esther Jacobs, PhD, RN with 15,953 pages. Such a close finish! <\/p>\n

We’re very grateful to the Shedd Aquarium<\/a>, the Chicago Wolves ice hockey team<\/a>, and Summer Noodles and Rice<\/a> for donating the prizes for our top readers this year. <\/p>\n

If you participated in the Summer Book League, we’d love it if you took this incredibly short survey<\/a> to help make the book league even better. <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you didn’t participate, keep an eye out next summer! We’d love to have you read with us. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
