Montville Student Picked for Prestigious Princeton Program

Each year, the Creative Arts and Humanities Symposium invites a small handful of students to take part in its prestigious program on the Princeton University Campus. 

This year, the program took place Sept. 27-29 and one Montville student was one of the lucky few. 

Deanna Passaretti was one of 90 students to be invited to the event, which "features a series of workshops and seminars hosted by Princeton faculty, which include Grammy-winning composers and Pulitzer-prize winning poets," according to the Montville district.  

"The symposium is designed to give a taste of a Princeton education, where the Lewis Center for the Arts allows students to pursue dance, theater, film, music, creative writing, and visual arts in a vibrant community that brings together artists and scholars from around the world," said the district. 
The symposium also exposed students to the humanities which covers a universe of subjects that include language and literature, history, philosophy, religion, and various cross-disciplinary programs, for example, African American Studies, East Asian Studies, Judaic Studies and Near Eastern Studies.
