Amplifying Voices in Discourse (AVID)
Inspired by the NCU Book Club, this new initiative serves as a catalyst for building community
by engaging with crucial social issues. AVID invites the NCU community to engage with a
chosen text, film, or other media through discussion and micro-conference presentations
Heart Berries: A Memoir by Terese Marie Mailhot is the first resource for discussion. The
book discussions will be held in January, followed by presentations in the spring.
