Students at Briar Cliff University learned that the old adage “Don’t judge a book by its cover” also applies to people.
The students spent part of their Thursday speaking to 48 “human library books” about stereotypes and prejudices encountered in their lives.
Jenny Tobin, director of counseling services at Briar Cliff, helped organize the annual event:
OC………..about that. ;17
Tobin says that dialogue gives the students a new understanding of other people and what they had to face:
OC……..the issue is. :14
Student Andy Geelan’s first stop was to chat with Rhonda Capron about her life experiences:
OC….. really neat to hear. ;18
Capron says she wanted to have a dialogue about life lessons with the students:
OC…………a good life. ;10
It’s the third year Briar Cliff has held the “Human Library” event.
