Social Activities

The Transitions experience exposes students to performing and visual arts and technology, all while taking part in abundant recreational and social opportunities. Art enthusiasts can learn from the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts’ artists-in-residence as well as tour museums and performance venues. Those interested in technology can tour companies and learn from our knowledgeable faculty. Weekly events are scheduled to help students experience a range of activities that help expand their social menu and promote opportunities for lasting friendships. Students will be encouraged to explore leisure skills and engage in hobbies that provide natural social connections with others.

With independence comes the ability to make ones own choices, and Transitions will offer several supervised evening activities and games to help students relax and unwind after a busy academic day.
