Gateway to rehearse

Since 2008, the Gateway to rehearse Initiative provides a platform for college students to achieve experience of project planning and delivery through design services that benefit nonprofits, community organizations, and cities in Greater Boston. Underneath the guidance of experienced design experts who behave as experts and mentors, students operate in multi-disciplinary teams to create a recognised group of deliverables towards the community client while developing vital professional abilities and expertise.

Mission Statement

The Gateway to rehearse program aims to fulfill three goals:

• To forge sustainable and long lasting close ties with nonprofits, community organizations, and cities
• To supply community partners with use of design services through projects with clearly defined goals and deliverables
• To supply students with possibilities to grow their understanding base and apply learning through good research and action build relationships community leaders and stakeholders collaborate across disciplines and get vital professional abilities and expertise.

How It Operates

The procedure for creating a Gateway project starts by having an idea. Community organizations looking for design assistance submit a completed project application towards the Practice Department. The proposal will be examined through the Director of Gateway as well as an initial meeting is arranged. If your project proposal is recognized, the customer and Director of Gateway interact to build up and clarify the work goals, scope of labor, and anticipated deliverables. The ultimate project description, deliverables, and client anticipation are determined within an official Letter of Understanding.

At the outset of each semester, the Practice Department hosts a Gateway Open House. Students are asked to understand more about the work choices, consult with community partners, and sign up to participate the work of the choice. The Practice Department then reviews all programs, chooses, and assigns students to teams according to illustration showing interest, academic standing, and suggestions from faculty and academic experts.
