Help us build the Lab Alumni Author's Collection

We created Lab’s Alumni Authors Collection to celebrate the work of our alumni—fiction, non-fiction, and scholarly writings. More than 100 of you sent in books for the collection and we now have a wonderful display in the U-High Lobby.

If you are an author, please send us your book (or books!).
