UM: Matt Kelley

By

The Friends of Matt Kelley blog has announced plans for a day-long reading marathon on Friday, April 22 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. to raise funds for his family. Kelley, a University of Michigan lecturer in the Sweetland Center for Writing and Lloyd Hall Scholars Program, was 41 when he died earlier this year soon after one of his graduate classes. Students will read from one of his favorite books, The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, at 2435 North Quad. The readings also will be broadcast live on the group’s website. [Source]
