The Griot Institute for Africana Studies will host an event encouraging students to take a break from technology on Oct. 5.
The Dancing Mind Challenge will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and participating students will be asked to put down their cell phones, laptops, and other technology and read without distraction.
The program was created with assistance from the Library and Information Technology Department. The Dancing Mind Challenge can be accomplished independently, but there is also the option to unplug and read with others on the second floor of Bertrand Library or the third floor of Barnes & Noble bookstore.
