THE MAY 29th EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL SEPTEMBER.
Breakfast Epiphany
[ Education Series, May 2012 ]
As the school year wraps up, we are bringing you a two-part Breakfast Epiphany series for educators, students and mentors. Each event shares the perspective of a creative pro turned educator who is preparing future generations to live a fulfilling, vibrant life.
Part 1: Holistic Education as the Future
Tues., May 8 with Kimberly Gill at the Sustainable Farm School, 8:00 - 9:30AM
Part 2: Preparing for the Real World When You're Creating It
Tues., May 29 with Nancy Stuart, Dean of the Hartford Art School, 8:00 - 9:30AM
Now Dean of the Hartford Art School, Nancy Stuart was once like her students, an artist immersed in her passion (photography) and excited to enter the real world. Today, as an educator, Dean Stuart asks students and other educators to examine the assumption that the "real world" is something you step into after graduation day, instead of invent yourself.
On May 29, we'll discuss how anyone, from students to late career fantasizers, prepare for creating a world that we have no idea how to define. Dean Stuart's career has left a trail of international recognition and accolades, and she continues to carve out her own path. If each of us take on our careers with the same gusto, can we redefine what it means to live in the real world?
