If you haven’t already heard, Bill Deresiewicz is coming to SLOCA on March 7th! Before his visit, we have organized a book discussion, coined Disrupt the Herd on January 17th, from 7:00- 8:30 pm. Join us for a night discussing the herd mentality overwhelming our education system; look forward to a great discussion as well as a wine and cheese pairing from Opolo Vineyards. We will have a discussion led by Paul McCullough on Bill Deresiewicz’s book, Excellent Sheep.

He studied literature at the University of Iowa and theology at Yale University, and then taught at Longwood University in Prince Edward County, VA, and at the Westover School in Middlebury, CT.
William Deresiewicz is an award-winning essayist and critic, a frequent college speaker, and the best-selling author of Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life.
