Open House at the Hive!

The official launch of the Rick and Susan Sontag Center for Collaborative Creativity took place Thursday November 5th, and the boisterous, celebratory open house served to inform 5C students, faculty, and staff about the many resources and opportunities available at “the Hive.”  Photo exhibits, art installations, and video loops of student reflections showed the multifaceted ways in which the 5C community is already engaging with the Hive, while colorfully decorated walls showed a mixed-media timeline of how the Hive came to be, including a space where visitors could add their own ideas for the future events and programs.

Hive staff member Estela Sanchez (PO ’17) welcomes visitors and shares more about our mission and how we think about creativity.
