In support of Amy Tan's appearance on campus, the library sponsored the following events:

September 24, 2007, noon: Faculty Forum with commentary by Shana Bernstein, Daniel Castro, Julia Johnson, Chiu-Mi Lai and Carl Robertson

October 9, 2007, 7:00pm: Screening of The Joy Luck Club film with commentary by David Gaines and Alison Kafer

The A. Frank Smith, Jr. Library Center's initiative to expand the audience beyond the traditional boundaries and make this event available to our region's Asian American community and students.

This initiative is made possible in part by a grant from Humanities Texas, the state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
