July Book Club: Made to Stick
Submitted by: Jennifer Deering, jdeering@uca.edu on 06/15/2026
Grant writing relies on the power of persuasion to communicate the value of creative activities, scholarship, and research. For this book club, we’ll explore ways of making our ideas memorable or “sticky.” We’ll meet each Wednesday in July at 2:00p via Zoom.
Each participant will receive a free copy of the book!
Sign up by June 29, 2026. Space is limited.
Facilitated by Jennifer Deering, jdeering@uca.edu
