Get ready for Wordshop’s biggest event of the year, co-hosted by Student Assembly—because Michelle Zauner, the author behind the New York Times bestselling memoir Crying in H Mart and the incredible lead vocalist of Japanese Breakfast, is coming HERE! Join us on April 4 in Commonwealth Auditorium from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM for a special Q&A and reception at 12:40 pm as Michelle dives into the heart of her book, exploring her Korean American upbringing, her family relationships, and the cultural influences that shaped her story.

If you’ve been moved by Michelle’s powerful reflections on identity and mother-daughter bonds—or if you just love discovering new perspectives—this is the perfect opportunity to hear her speak live! Plus, the W&M Book Store will be on-site selling copies of Crying in H Mart, so arrive early to snag your copy while supplies last. Don’t miss out on this unforgettable celebration of culture, family, and storytelling! Doors open at 11:00 am and Admission is FREE!
