    Shared Reading

    “Where am I Wearing?”

    You and your first-year classmates at Cedar Crest will be choosing different topics for seminar discussion, but you’ll have one element in common: everyone will be reading and talking about a book titled “Where am I Wearing?”

    Have you ever considered the people behind your wardrobe? Kelsey Timmerman, author of “Where am I Wearing?”, will join us on campus to discuss his journey to locate the hands that created his jeans, T-shirt, flip-flops, and boxer shorts.

    Timmerman traveled to Honduras, Bangladesh, Cambodia and China and will share the details of his journey with us on Oct. 11 and 12. Kelsey will hold special sessions with first-year and honors students, and you’ll have the opportunity to have your book signed.
