Benefits and Resources

We hope you enjoy these discounts and thank you for staying connected to Tri-C!

Tri-C Alumni Book Club 

“Good stories are good stories, no matter how they're categorized.” – Octavia E. Butler

This powerful 2021 memoir by musician Michelle Zauner (of experimental pop band Japanese Breakfast) is an unflinching account of growing up Korean American, losing her mother to cancer and discovering her true self.  

You are invited to join the free virtual Tri-C Alumni Book Club!  In this online community, you can connect with alumni and enjoy reading books about lifelong learning, personal growth, social justice and more. 

The Tri-C Online Book Club, in partnership with PBC Guru, is free for alumni and provides a private forum to participate when it fits your schedule. Register here!  

How it works

The book club will connect through a private online forum where participants can discuss the current book and learn from one another. Our book club will spend about 10 weeks on each book, so you'll have plenty of time to read. You can sign up and learn more about our next book here.

Why should you join?

There are three main reasons we hope you'll be excited to participate in our book club:
1) Read more in 2021 by staying accountable with our lifelong learning community.
2) Connect with fellow alumni.
3) Discover new books that you may not have read otherwise. Join here.
