Watch Now×Here are the procedures for any faculty member interested in participating in Curricular Connections. They are intended to streamline the process for faculty, minimize the number of tickets that unused and unsold to the general public, and keep the program sustainable for the Hop.
When seeking funding for student tickets:
Any additional questions may be directed to Curricular Connections Coordinator Kate Adams at curricular.connections@dartmouth.edu or by calling 603.646.2315 with any questions.
When NOT seeking funding student tickets (in cases where there are department funds to support student tickets):
Please note: It is the faculty member's responsibility to pick up the tickets and distribute them to their students, or to send a delegate to do this (such as a department administrator). The Box Office will not issue Curricular Connections tickets to individual students at the window. Should a faculty member or department administrator require special help coordinating ticket pick-up, they may be in touch with the Hop Box Office directly at hop.box@dartmouth.edu.
The program is funded by the Hop Experiential Learning Fund (whereas additional funding was formerly provided by DCAL). The Hop Experiential Learning Fund is divided into an operating budget for performing arts support and for film support.
The funding requirements for both performing arts and film events are as follows:
Funding allocation decisions are made by the Hop's Curricular Connections Coordinator, in consultation with the Hop's Programming/Arts Education department, Film department and Director of External Affairs. Special exceptions and grants are sometimes made, so we encourage faculty to apply using the Curricular Connections Request Form even if you are uncertain of whether you qualify for funding.
If my class received Curricular Connections support for an event, do I get a free ticket as well? Yes. It will be included along with the tickets prepared for your class.
What do you mean that the arts event must be assigned and integrated into my course? All students in your class must be expected to attend, and there must be a discussion of relevance to the course it is assigned to.
When can I retrieve the tickets for my class? 4 business days before the event (or sooner if the Box Office has confirmed your tickets are ready). 7 business days before your event, you will be asked to provide a final/revised ticket count. Once this is confirmed with the Box Office and the Coordinator, you will be sent an email that your tickets are ready to be picked up.
How do I receive the tickets for my class? Once you receive confirmation that your tickets are ready for pickup, the tickets will be available at the Hop Box Office (open Mon–Fri: 10 am–6 pm, Sat: 1–6 pm, 1 hour before live shows and 30 minutes before films). We no longer mail tickets to Hinman Boxes and the Box Office will not be able to issue Curricular Connections tickets to individual students.
What should I do if I think an arts event if relevant to my class, but I do not want to formally assign it. This is common, but students will need to pay for their own tickets or have tickets covered by department funding.
Can my students connect directly with the artists? Absolutely! We would love to work to make that happen. Please connect with the Hop's Coordinator of Academic Programming, Samantha Lazar
How is the program funded? It is funded by the Hop Experiential Learning Fund. In prior years it was funded by DCAL, but that has since ended.
What are the funding parameters for receiving support for the Hop Experiential Learning Fund? Please see the funding section above for more information. How do I know if there is other funding available for me to bring my class? You can contact your department administrator or the Curricular Connections Coordinator at Curricular.Connections@dartmouth.edu or calling 603.646.2315.
