This Week @ NewComm: CREATING WORLDS THROUGH WORDS
Dear NewComm Community,
I hope this message finds you well. We are excited to share some fantastic news with you all - NewComm's first-ever studio session at Horace Mann School was a resounding success!
During this session, our fellows had the incredible opportunity to not only view our final documentary but also engage with Bernice Pass-Stern, Assistant Dean of Institutional Effectiveness at Mt. Sinai Nursing School. Ms. Pass-Stern provided invaluable insights into how her institution actively engages with local communities to amplify their impact. Her expertise and experiences left a lasting impression on our fellows, shaping their perspective on community engagement.
The second part of our session was equally impactful, as our fellows delved into the design of our capstone project. From budgeting to identifying the target audience and determining the scale of our impact, our students made crucial decisions that will propel our project forward. The energy and dedication they exhibited during this process were truly inspiring. I can't wait for you all to see the fruits of their labor.
Also, I must say, it was so great to see our fellows again, and we are eagerly looking forward to our next Saturday studio session. We are deeply grateful to Horace Mann School for providing us with the space and delicious food, making this session all the more enjoyable.
As we continue to grow and evolve, these studio sessions are becoming an integral part of our journey at NewComm. They provide us with the space to learn, collaborate, and make meaningful decisions that will shape our projects and impact our communities positively.
Thank you for your unwavering support and belief in our mission. I can't wait to share more with you in the coming weeks.
Warm regards,
Chidi
