(Read a recap of the workshop here; for more context, also see our past institute recaps from April and May.) This year’s fellows and faculty mentors met the incoming cohort of fellows and mentors, and shared their experiences over lunch.

Events

The LaGuardia Mellon Humanities Scholars exhibited their end-of-year projects during a curated showcase at LaGuardia’s Black Box Theater on Wednesday, May 24, 2017. These projects were shaped with guidance and feedback from faculty mentors connected to the project and LaGuardia. The Scholars were guided throughout the year by Kaysi Holman, Director of Programs and Administration, and Stefanie Sertich, Professor and Director of the Theatre program at LaGuardia.
