UD coffee table book now available as free e-book

A new coffee table book entitled “Reading the Signs of the Times: The University of Dayton in the Twenty-First Century,” is now available as a free e-book.

The book, released as Dr. Dan Curran concludes his tenure as UD president, looks back on the university’s history as well as achievements during Curran’s presidency.

“As I close my 14-year presidency this week, it’s a bittersweet moment. I’ve been touched by the kind words and prayers of support as we transition to new leadership. I’m so proud of what we’ve accomplished together — it’s one of the great stories in higher education,” Curran wrote to alumni.

“I hope you enjoy Reading the Signs of the Times: The University of Dayton in the Twenty-First Century. The book is filled with vibrant photography and stories illustrating our upward momentum and call to make a difference in the world.”

Curran took over at UD in 2002. He is stepping down at the end of the week and will be succeeded by Dr. Eric Spina, former provost at Syracuse University.

Limited copies of the 114-page book are available for $29.99 in the University of Dayton Bookstore.

UD last produced a commemorative book to celebrate its sesquicentennial. “University of Dayton: 1850-2000 from Nazareth to the new Millennium” is now out of print.
