Liberal Arts Gathering
Candice Duron, the head counselor for the Liberal Arts majors, put together a very special event for the whole community. Lunch and a showing of the movie, Mona Lisa Smile, was provided for all of the students and faculty.
Last year was Duron’s first time having the event. She put on a slideshow of famous art work, and everyone stood about the room and talked with one another. This year was the second year, and Duron decided she would show a movie instead of another slideshow, just to change things up a bit. “Research shows that if students feel connected to one another, including the faculty, then they will succeed,” Duron explains as I ask her about her reasoning for coming out with this event. Faculty asked students about their majors, everyone discussed the movie, and shared interests. The event was a wonderful idea to pull everyone together.
Duron is excited to see how next year’s Liberal Arts gathering will turn out, and so are the division students and faculty.
