Senior Research Professor of English
Here’s what John’s recommender had to say:
For years Professor Ruff has contributed to the continued tradition of creating a space for students, faculty, staff, and community members to engage around books and coffee (and even tea). It is a delight to see people connect with ideas, themes, and so much more through the books and the questions and conversations that happen not only at the event but before and after. This program creates community by inviting everyone into a space to engage around the gift of story and book across disciplines and across their roles of student, faculty, staff, or community member.
