“Passing Through” is an installation of 48 life-sized stainless steel silhouettes that represent students hiking and engaging in related activities, placed in various locations on the walls of the 600 Building at Tunxis Community College. Tunxis students modeled for the silhouettes, making this a community project and connecting the installation to the college’s population at the point in its history when this major addition was built during Phase II of construction at the college. Participants were selected based on essays they wrote about their journey to Tunxis.Installation by Brad Guarino. Music courtesy of HiGhMaS.

Quality assurance thought leader Michael Halal—former Senior VP in the area of change management and production assurance at Citigroup and now quality assurance manager at a leading professional services automation software company— gave a philosophy of business talk on the millennial generation we’re all encountering. Mr. Halal’s unique perspective is that the very concept of this collection of traits as a coherent set is largely a luxury of an invention built on the credit of past American successes—and something that can’t be sustained. It’s edgy, and I think we’re fortunate to be an academic community where a speaker’s views don’t necessarily have to align with our own. But I think you’ll find Halal does make at least quite a provocative case! His title is tellingly “There’s No App That’s the Same Thing As a Good Idea.”
