In January 2010, a film class from Calvin College visited the Huss Project in Three Rivers to shoot a short film on location.

We've been slowly living into the change for a while, but now it's official: the Imagining Space at Huss School has been renamed The Huss Project. We thought it would be more appropriate to keep a name that the community already has embedded in its collective memory of this place than to try to create...
