The Christ College Alumni Reading Group began in December 2001 with the groups meeting for the first time in 2002. There were reading groups in two cities, one group in the Twin Cities reading group and three reading groups in Chicago.
New cities were added over the years with a large push to create new reading groups in 2013. CC now boasts twenty-two reading groups all over the country, all three Chicago groups as well as the group in the Twin Cities are still in existence. Below are the syllabi from the beginning.
