WVURA Book Club
The Book Club met on November 6 to discuss the book,
The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After. The
book was written by Clemantine Wamariya, a survivor of the Rwandan genocide. The
book is also the 2020-2021 WVU campus read. You can see by the photo that,
due to the coronavirus, we maintained our social distance and wore masks.
