Mission Statement
Rosemont College Arts and Culture Society
January 2006
Rosemont College undertook as its mission theme for the year 2005-06: to develop, in its community, open and critical minds and the ability to make reasoned moral decisions. Cornelia Connelly thought that these elevated tasks were rendered more concrete and more accessible through the visual and performing arts, which she championed and which form a very significant part of Rosemont College's curriculum and approach to education.
The Rosemont College Arts and Culture Society seeks to extend this understanding of the arts to the community at large through its offering of a wide spectrum of art-related events, voluntarily administered by its committee members. With its revenue, the Arts and Culture Society is committed to funding scholarships for gifted and qualified students of the history of art and studio art. These scholarships will aid those students to travel, study, research, and understand the visual arts.
As Cornelia Connelly advised, we must never think we have done enough but keep moving on, making new beginnings, and continually growing. The Arts and Culture Society is committed to sponsoring this environment of giving and growing within the Rosemont College community.
