Join James Patterson for an unforgettable evening at the University of Florida as part of his national book tour for “Disrupt Everything—and Win: Take Control of Your Future.”
James Patterson, a globally acclaimed author and longtime supporter of UF, has partnered with the College of Education through his generous philanthropic support for scholarships and literacy initiatives. His latest book, “Disrupt Everything—and Win,” co-authored with leadership expert Patrick Leddin, is a bold playbook for thriving in the age of AI. Like so many aspects of modern life, education is in a state of disruption — undergoing radical change due to technological innovation. In this spirit, UF has developed innovative, nationally-scaled professional development programs that are reshaping how the science of reading is shared and applied. With partners like Patterson, the UF College of Education is constantly working to advance teaching and learning, and create revolutionary solutions that will strengthen society.
This event is free but there are a limited number of seats available — registration is required.
