Day of Community 2016
Throughout the wonderful history of the Tisch School of the Arts, a Day of Community has been held when there were important issues to discuss or reasons to gather in celebration. This year, Dean Allyson Green is proud to announce a Week of Community that expands from Oct. 17 to 21.
"I don’t presume for a moment to have any answers to the complex problems of our time. But I do believe that a school of the arts is the place where questions should be asked, conversations should flourish, and creative responses be encouraged. "
