Dr. Karen Ritzenhoff teaches television and film in the Department of Communication at Central Connecticut State University. She has been organizing a biennial "women and film" festival in conjunction with the New Britain Museum of American Art since 2002. The UMC New Britain Collaborative grew out of this event. Drs. Barbara Clark and Ritzenhoff have co-coordinated the first "CCSU Night at the Museum" in November 2007, involving ten departments and programs across the University to celebrate student accomplishments in the arts. The initiative explores new possibilities to draw from University holdings for interdisciplinary studies across the curriculum.
