The Collin College Distinguished Speaker Series and the Book in Common are two incredible programs you won't want to miss. Visit the Collin libraries for companion materials on display and related books to check out.

The Collin College Distinguished Speaker Series invites distinguished and noted individuals from across the country to engage in a year-long, college-wide conversation addressing current research and topics of interest. Additional speaker resources are available from the Collin College libraries.

Book in Common, the second excellent program, involves 3,000 Collin College students and a single book, First They Killed my Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers. The site presents the program's calendar of events, a cross-discipline teaching guide, and information on this year's author -- the best-selling author/activist Loung Ung. For those interested in learning more on the topics addressed in the book, the site also includes a list of relevant books available through Collin College libraries.
