The Hudson County Community­ College Founda­tion Art Collection, which includes artworks in media from painting and sculpture, photo­graphs, American craft pottery, and ephemera, reveals aspects of America’s and New Jersey’s rich artistic and cultural­ history from the Hudson River School period to today. In recent years, the College’s ac­quisition efforts have focused on strengthening its American and New Jersey modern, and con­temporary collections. Each month, this page in HCCC Happenings provides up­dates on artists whose work is in the collection, and new addi­tions to the collection.

emory is a theme that cuts across a wide array of disciplines. At the Aug. 26 College Service Day, faculty and administrators from diverse academic backgrounds joined in a panel titled “Memory in Teaching Mand Learning” to discuss the ways that memory is approached in their respective fields, ranging from the Social Sciences and Humanities to STEM.

A crowd of over 50 gathered to hear panelists offer thought-provoking insights as to how a common theme (memory) manifests itself in both similar and divergent ways. Panelists engaged in an intriguing discussion of the construction, meaning, and science behind how we remember as individuals and societies. Included in the panel’s discussion were ideas such as collective memory, social identity and the historical memory of Christopher www.hccc.edu Columbus, habits of reading and remembering literature, PTSD and psychological memory, patterns of memory in card game activities, and the daily renovations of the brain and memory. The panel was followed by a brief myhudson.hccc.edu Q&A session.
