Day of Community 2017
Times of change can be challenging. How do we respond? How do we connect?
Lucky for us, the Tisch School of the Arts is a brave space where questions should and will be asked, conversations can flourish, and creative responses and solutions are encouraged. This is where we are all the teachers, the learners, and the creators.
Participate in multiple school activities or take the time to volunteer. Join us on October 20th for breakfast or at the end of the day in a Town Hall gathering.
Let’s spend the 2017 Day of Community connecting together.
