Hopefully you’ve all been Acing those finals this week! As a little treat, and to wrap up the semester, we’d like to share with you our final READ! poster of the semester (no worries! there are more to come in the Fall!). Today we’d like to welcome our featured guest, Víctor Gómez, Assistant Professor, Assistant Chair of the Department of History and Philosophy, and Coordinator of the Mexican American Studies Program. As if that weren’t enough, he’s also known for his fantastic organization prowess as shown with his recent success in organizing the NACCS Conference, hosted here at STC! So here he is with his fabulously (if not obviously) themed recommendations.
We hope you enjoy his reads as much as we do, and just think, Summer is here, and reading is a great activity to do while suntanning! Enjoy!
