amount. The funding will help defray
the rent, instructors' salaries and other
expenses at the program.
The goal, Stewart said, is for the
classes to become self-sustaining,
something Soenen thinks should hap-
pen quickly. He said the economic
results of having the college classes in
downtown Plymouthwas also a benefit
to the entire region.
“This is a very important develop-
ment for the entire area,” he said.
The college classes typically have
no more than 15 students and while
college credit will not be earned dur-
ing this fall, the following semester will
allow students to earn those credits in
select courses.
Enrollment will begin July 7 at
the same day that
the 32nd annual Art In The Park
opens. The PARC and the College for
Creative Studies will be sharing a
booth during the weekend festival to
garner as much attention to the new
attraction as possible.
To that end, Sabrina Nelson, an
artist and an admissions counselor at
the college, will be creating a mural
that will be displayed in thePARC. She
said it will include Plymouth icons like
the fountain in the park, perhaps the
clock on Main Street and the Penn
Theater. She plans to work with
Masonite board and hopes that visitors
to the Art In The Park event will use
water-based Crayola markers to con-
tribute their handiwork to the mural.
