In support of our new General Education program, the regular Crown Faculty Luncheons (3rd Thursdays) will be devoted to elements of our Gen Ed program and each luncheon will be followed by a Friday afternoon workshop to allow more space and time for active engagement.  We welcome participation at both and faculty are also invited to attend either one alone.  

Lunch: Frameworks for Creative Process Blocks
Thursday, Feb. 6, 12:15-1:30 p.m., Tutt Library Event Space
Have you considered offering a Creative Process block?  Maybe you teach a course that has a strong creative element but are not sure about how that translates into a Creative Process course.  Or maybe you’d like to dream up something entirely new under this designation.  While aligning a course with the creativity designation may seem daunting, many courses already contain elements that can be built upon to fulfill the requirement. This session will address some ways to frame creative process in a block course and provide support for proposing CP courses.  Led by Jane Hilberry and Kris Stanec.

Workshop: Inviting Creativity into the Classroom
Friday, Feb. 7, 1:30-3:30 p.m., Tutt Library Event Space
Join with other faculty for an experiential workshop! We will engage in creativity exercises, discuss the possibilities for translating such exercises to various disciplines, and talk about how to create a classroom climate that supports creative exploration.
