"In addition to resources from our high caliber faculty, we plan to use our community of extraordinary people," Chapman said. "They are a great resource."
There are also partnerships in the works with the Mattatuck Museum and the Palace Theater in Waterbury for interactive learning experiences.
Although the program will not be fully operational until next year, the Waterbury campus will hold a preview of things to come starting on Oct. 20. There community members can get their first glance at Chapman's program with sample lectures and discussions.
Aside from these one-day events, Chapman has invited the subjects of the film "Been Rich All My Life."
The movie is based upon five 1930s showgirls who came back together in 1985 and have been performing to packed crowds ever since.
With ages ranging from 84 to 96, firstrunfeatures.com said, "Director Heather Lyn MacDonald has created a loving, stereotype-busting portrait of age-defying women who have never wavered in their love of dance or of each other."
"There will be tears in people's eyes," Chapman said. "People retire and no one ever hears about them. But this movie really highlights those people."
