The IHGC is pleased to support UVA faculty and staff members' various book projects through our annual Book Celebration. During the celebration, the UVA community is invited to attend, meet the authors, and receive free copies of the newly-released books! The list of featured authors and books is below. It will be updated throughout the month of March 2026.
 
Guests are asked to register in advance (although walk-ins will be accepted).  Upon checking in, guests will receive one voucher that they can use to "claim" a FREE COPY of any available book AND a raffle ticket they can use to enter a drawing for another free copy!  Vouchers can be used as soon as the event begins and the raffle will take place at 1:30pm.

Refreshments will be served throughout the event and we hope you will join us for a day of fellowship and community as we celebrate our faculty members' recent publications!  REGISTER HERE by Wednesday, April 22nd.
 
This event is co-sponsored by the Office of Research.
