The HVCC READS 2016 program culminated when author Jacopo della Quercia visited the campus on Wednesday, April 13. The author visited two classes, shared lunch with a small group of students, faculty members, and employees, gave a lecture, answered questions, and socialized with audience members at a reception.<\/p>\n
