Crimson Reads
Recognizing authors in the University community
Crimson Reads honors WSU faculty, students, staff, alumni, and retirees who have authored, co-authored or edited a book within the past year. WSU Libraries will be releasing an article celebrating WSU authors and have a display of WSU author titles in the Terrell Library display case during the week of March 23- 27.
