“Students journal about their experiences with the museum, how they perceive the staff, buildings, and environments.”
–Alexandra Carey, English

“Often many of my students tell me that this is the first play they have ever attended and plan to go to more in the future.”
–Kathleen Herron, Math

“Students do several large-scale sketches related to the period we study, and they draw buildings from those styles found in Hartford.”
–Ira Hessmer, Architecture

“The students love getting out of the classroom or away from their computer. They love visiting some place that is close by their home that they didn’t know about.”
–Carmen Yiamouyiannis, Science

“We review what a non-profit is, study the demographics of specific plays, and discuss ways to keep marketing costs down. I always wait for students in the lobby, and we sit together, since some of them come by themselves. We get to know each other on a more personal level.”
–Nancy LaGuardia, Management
