The monthly meetings will be facilitated by the Cabrillo College Guardian Scholars/NextUp lead and a Guardian Scholar/NextUp student. As an added bonus, all participants will receive a complimentary copy of the book and an invitation to our April culminating event, where author Royel M. Johnson will visit the professional learning community and deliver a book talk!
