350+ VISIT MARYGROVE FOR JEFFREY EUGENIDES READING
On Sunday afternoon, October 30, 2006, Marygrove was the site for an ear-fest! More than 350 people came to hear the reading of Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jeffrey Eugenides.  Many bought his books and even more waited in line for his autograph.

“This type of event showcases Marygrove at its best,” said Dr. Frank Rashid, who coordinated the author’s visit.  “We demonstrate our academic and civic leadership when we bring this caliber of writer to the community.” [More]
