Here are some reactions to recent tours:

"I am writing to thank you for once again being so responsive to my third year undergraduate social work students last term who were taking a required course on community social work practice.... The warm welcome you provided and the overview of the history of the Gallery highlighted the crucial educational and scholarly role of a university art gallery. Your generosity, enthusiasm, and interest in students has made my class visits to the McIntosh a highlight of each Academic year for me."

~ Allan Irving
Professor and Coordinator at the Centre for Creativity at King's University College.

"Your warm welcome and introduction to the exhibition were very useful to have us all in the right set of mind, and to help us realize all the different artistic facets we could appreciate in the gallery…. By attending the exhibition my students were able to appreciate a real life example of native American Language recreation that combined Mohawk pictograms, art and an ingenuous link to technology…. I believe visiting the Gallery was a very positive experience for all of us, but especially for my students who have now discovered a new spot on campus where classroom learning may come alive."

~Patricia Bayona
Linguistics Professor, French Studies Department.

"Thank you for hosting a visit from my "Introduction to Museum Studies" class to the McIntosh Gallery and for facilitating a session on the role and operations of an art museum…. This visit has made them [the students] aware of a wonderful resource that is available to them right on campus, and they indicated that they would now be likely to make repeat visits…. Thank you for taking us "Behind the Scenes," for sharing your time, your knowledge, and also your enthusiasm with us!"
