Perspectives

In 2025-26, Connecticut College students interviewed nine local tenants, home and business owners, officials, housing advocates, developers, and other residents to get their varied perspectives on housing affordability issues in the area. These full edited interviews may be viewed in excerpted form in the We Live Here exhibit at the Garde Gallery.

Film production by Johanne Wartelle CC ‘27.
