How one class grew from the roots of reading and writing to an urban garden that shapes our thinking about food, community and the journey from the field to the table.



In this class, students are encouraged to reflect and blog about what resonates with them during the work we approach each week. Once a week, usually later in the week, my students submit entries, we go over them and see what will get posted. ~Mary Ann D'Urso, Instructor




Our First Visitor...

Mary Ann D'Urso

Well, I struggled this week with what to blog about Anna Quindlen’s visit. Should I write that in college and the early years of my reporting career, she is who I dreamed of being? Should I write about her ambition and focus in the face of my own circuitous routes? Should I say that buzz of her visit bounced around 89 York Street, as if the very walls from the first through fourth floors echoed her name.

Maybe this is enough: ANNA QUINDLEN CAME TO OUR SCHOOL.

Please read what my students have to say on first pass. Stay tuned and come back later in the term to see and hear their multimedia projects on their first interview of the semester: Anna Quindlen.
