Curricular Connections

Curricular Connections

This program enables students to have powerful group experiences in the arts, enriching academic courses and putting the arts at the center of Dartmouth's ongoing focus on experiential learning.

Curricular Connections is a Hop program that enables faculty to bring a class to an assigned arts event and, in cases where no other funding is readily available, provides funding to pay in full for tickets for those students plus one faculty member. Curricular Connections aims to further reduce financial barriers for students attending arts events in an educational context. Whether or not you are seeking Hop funding for student tickets, we request that all faculty interested in securing Hop tickets for students follow the New Procedures for Faculty below.

For information on which events align with a specific curriculum or for questions about the Curricular Connections program, please email Samantha Lazar, Curator of Academic Programming.
