Sun Journal offers Q-and-A with Harward Center’s Darby Ray
In a Q-and-A, Sun Journal reporter Kathryn Skelton asks Darby Ray, director of the Harward Center for Community Partnerships, “If you were a student, what project through the Harward Center makes you think, ‘I’d be all over that'”?
Ray’s answer pointed to a partnership with an elementary school about a mile from campus.
Darby Ray is the director of the Harward Center for Community Partnerships and the

“Last semester one of the education classes at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ met all semester long at Farwell Elementary School. The students and professor didn’t just visit the school once or twice — they actually held their college course at the elementary school, which enabled an amazing reciprocity of knowledge, insight and energy.
“I love that kind of creative exchange.”
