Warning: today is faculty reading day, which means the professors have their books and microphones out. If you're feeling adventurous, come join us for a day of literary mayhem and free snacks. #FacultyReading #LiteraryMayhem #FreeSnacks

It's like a regular reading, but with more tweed and elbow patches. We promise you'll leave feeling both entertained and smarter. Plus, there will be free snacks. #LitAF #TweedGameStrong #FreeSnacks

Don't miss out on the fun! Follow us on Insta for exciting events featuring our brilliant students and faculty. We promise not to post too many mountain photos (okay, maybe just a few). #CreativityOverload #PeakPerformance @OSUcascades instagram.com/osu_cascades_m…
