2005-06 Programming
Cultivating the Creative Faculty

 

Cultivating the Creative Faculty was a programming series designed to explore ways of fostering creativity in members of the ISU campus community and beyond. Questions raised and discussed through this program included: What inspires us to come up with new ideas and new works of art? How do definitions of creativity differ across academic disciplines, and what can we learn from the people around us? What kind of climate nurtures the imagination?

Cosponsors for this program included the Colleges of Agriculture, Design, Engineering, Human Sciences, and Liberal Arts and Sciences, Commitee on Lectures (funded by GSB), ISU Dance Program, the departments of Art and Design, English, History, Human Development and Family Studies, Music, Philosophy and Religious Studies, Physics and Astronomy, Psychology, F. Wendell Miller Funds (LAS College), Institue of Science and Society, Western European Studies Program, Women's Studies Program, and the Octagon Center for the Arts.
