Huron Site of USI Block Party

Huron Street was closed Monday for a block party that included chalk drawings, dancing, face paintings and a barbecue for about 100 residents and students who moved into the neighborhood through the Union-Schenectady Initiative.

"The most poignant thing was to see the children and adults doing things together," said Gretchel Tyson, commnunity outreach director.

Students from U-CARE organized games and dancing. Students from Symposium House provided face painting for children.

"Like the project itself, the event highlighted the strong partnership between Union and the College Park neighbors," Tyson said. "It was a great opportunity for residents to get to know the students who live in the area."
