Student Presentations on Memorializing Northampton State Hospital
February 22, 1 p.m., Campus Center 205
First-Year Seminar 121, “The Evolution and Transformation of the Northampton State Hospital,” will report on its Fall 2013 class project. The Northampton State Hospital, adjacent to Smith College, was in operation from 1858 to 1993. Students in the class were involved in projects intended to help memorialize the history of the hospital. These projects contribute to and complement the work of the Northampton State Hospital Memorial Committee. This Northampton community group was awarded $75,000 by the City’s Community Preservation Act committee to create a Memorial Park on the site of Village Hill. FYS 121 students will describe their projects and how they will contribute to memorializing Northampton State Hospital.
