Greetings!


Hello everyone! My name is Cheryl Vereen and this is also my second class with Professor Nevins and my second online class. My first experience was so great that I thought I would try another. I am a senior at Albertus and striving to obtain my Bachelor's Degree in the spring. I am a finance major and considering grad school. I have been employed by the New Haven Board of Education as an assistant teacher in the area of special education for 17 years. I have 4 grown children and 6 grandchildren. Getting my degree is something that I have dreamed of for a very long time. When my children were young, we would visit a museum at least three times a year. I truly loved going to museums and wanted to expose my children to it as much as possible. I haven't been able to visit a museum for a long time. This class will give me a chance to catch up and to expand my visits to museums I've never visited. By coincidence, I just went to the Yale Center for British Art Museum yesterday. We took a group of 16 third graders for an hour and a half trip to the museum to expose them to fine art. We had a great tour guide, but was only able to focus on and discuss only three paintings. All three were at least 250 years old. It really takes a day in a museum in order to have a meaningful experience and you still would not get a chance to fully absorb everything in that length of time. I know I will enjoy this experience. I look forward to viewing everyone's posts. You are invited to view my blog at cvereen77-cherylvereen.blogspot.com.
