Since 2016, Creativity & Innovation has worked with faculty and students to support and amplify the creative teaching and learning occurring across campus. In our last Community Conversation of the academic year, we will briefly share a bit about our mission and activities, then invite the audience to experience  “Lyrical Questions,” one of the most popular activities we offer.  

Built around an exercise created by poet Ross Gay, “Lyrical Questions”  brings us into meaningful conversations with each other through a series of open-ended questions about our own lives. We hope you’ll join us, Wed., May 10, 3:30-5 p.m. in South Hall Commonsm which will be facilitated by Professor of Creativity & Innovation Jane Hilberry.
