Did you know you can get all the books President Sullivan named in the Midweek’s “Seven Questions with President Julie Sullivan” at UST Libraries?

Here are direct links to them:

Pope Francis: Why He Leads the Way He Leads  by Chris Lowney

Loyola Press, 2013

President Sullivan’s comments: “Lowney relates the pope’s history to his current leadership style. He also offers leadership lessons we can learn from Pope Francis: Know yourself deeply, serve others, immerse yourself in the world, withdraw from it daily, live in the present and revere traditions, even as you energetically go about creating the future.”

Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End  by Atul Gawande.

(Metropolitan Books, 2014)

President Sullivan’s comments: “There are lessons to be learned from Gawande’s book too. I learned from Being Mortal that our reasons for living are just as important at the end of life as at any other time in our lives.”

Fiction

President Sullivan’s comments: “Both (are) set in occupied France during WWII  these historical novels were excellent. I read one of them during a cruise that my husband and I took on the Seine between Paris to Normandy last summer. I read the other when we came home.”
