The trips are related to the Arts and Society class taught by Mel Bobick, professor of sociology, for many years. The class exposed students to high-quality performances and museums. Arts and Society will continue through the direction of faculty members in the Fine and Performing Arts Division (Art and Art History, Theatre and Dance, and Music). In spring 2006, the course will be taught by David Andrew, professor art and art history.
