The University Faculty Club invites the campus community to hear Indiana University and Riley Hospital for Children physician-philosopher Richard B. Gunderman, M.D., Ph.D., author of “We Make A Life By What We Give” at the Sept. 17 “Reading at the Table.” The lunch program will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“We Make a Life By” nudges readers to think about their lives and how they can share what they have to improve their lives and the lives of others. In the book, Gunderman expands on the adage, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." In 22 essays, Gunderman explores the ethics of philanthropy and examines the importance of sharing to those who give and to those who receive.

Lunch and program is $12.80. The book is available for optional purchase. Space is limited and reservations are required. Contact Stephanie at 274-7014 or email facclub@iupui.edu by Sept. 15, 2008.
