Creativity Symposium

Here are some of the projects and opportunities that are in the works as a direct result of the Program for Creativity and Innovation and the Creativity Symposium:

>> A publication of reviewed papers delivered at the Symposium edited by Lynn Book and David Phillips of Wake Forest University.

>> Click here for the website that developed from a four-person panel from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. "What developed was an involved and incredibly stimulating extended conversation [over the preceding year]. It was this energy that we brought with us to Wake Forest in March. In looking to document this process we decided that four separate essays on the topic of creativity simply would not do. We decided to approach this task creatively and develop a written format that would best capture our conversation. None of us had ever attempted an interactive essay before, so you are the first outside of our group to view the results." --Dean Wilcox, Associate Dean of General Studies, UNSCA
