Read. Watch. Listen. introduces you to the personal side of our faculty, staff and alumni. Participants are asked to answer three simple questions about their reading, viewing and listening habits – what one book or newspaper/magazine article is grabbing your attention; what one movie or television show has caught your eye; and what album/song, podcast or radio show are you lending an ear to.
Kathryn McAuley is the 2019 Western Sponsored Employee for the United Way Elgin Middlesex campaign.
Today, she takes a turn on Read. Watch. Listen.

Read.
Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood. The Daily Show host recounts his life growing up in South Africa under apartheid with a furiously religious black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss father. It is a compelling, inspiring and comical read.
Watch.
As Western’s 2019 United Way Sponsored Employee, I’ve been watching the United Way impact video as I tell my story across campus about why I give to United Way. The video shines a light on #UNIGNORABLE issues like poverty, homelessness and barriers to education.
Listen.
Emily King’s new album Scenery. King’s soothing and soulful voice provides the mood music needed to unwind after a busy day.
