“Pachinko” by Min Jin Lee

Online book club

500 enthusiastic alumni from across the globe have joined our first Online Book Club, and are at the moment reading “Pachinko” by Min Jin Lee.

Without the ability to meet our internationally-based alumni face-to-face it is exciting to be able to offer this online form of engagement. More than 120 alumni have made personal introductions in the book club forum, many of whom are looking to extend their reading material and engage with others from their alma mater.

Happy reading and discussing!

Sadly our face-to-face events with our overseas alumni are on hold for the foreseeable future. We are looking forward to holding our first face-to-face event in Dunedin on July 4.
