Penn State Brandywine Celebrates Authors Book Signing

In celebration of Penn State Brandywine faculty who have published a monograph, edited a text or translated works in the last two years, the campus will host a book signing and reception, “Brandywine Celebrates Authors,” on Wednesday, December 5, from 3 to 5 p.m.


Nine faculty authors will read from or discuss their text and answer audience questions in the Tomezsko Classroom Building, room 103, before heading to a book signing and reception in the lounge.


Attendees will have an opportunity to speak with the authors one-on-one, buy copies of their books and have the author sign the books. Refreshments and desserts will be provided at the reception. This event is free and open to the public.
