EPD ANNOUNCEMENTS
Call for Student Photos! Each year, EPD tries to document the lives of EPD students throughout the academic year. We often share photos in newsletters and a year in review presentation at the end of the year. As part of this endeavor, we need your help submitting fun photos! So next time you are at an EPD event or just grabbing a photo worthy lunch with some EPD friends, snap a photo and send it our way!

PICK OF THE WEEK
This week's featured book: The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles
In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction—to the City of New York.
