Second Meeting of the Semester

In addition to all of us giving an update on our current standing for our FIG book project and how Disney+ could actually be used in the classroom in conjunction with a literature course- we had a student wander into our meeting! It was a great experience as he was genuinely interested in what we were doing and he asked us for information on all of our classes.
