About the event


Creativity is our future! In these times of rapidly evolving technologies and shifting identities and structures it is important to consider how we empower students to become thoughtful, engaged, and creative problem solvers. Join faculty from the Department of Art & Design and other units, to explore ways of teaching to our future.

Sessions will include presentations and discussions on framing student projects, learning outcomes, creative collaborations, and positive actions connecting art and design to our communities. Your voice is a vital part of this forum so our kickoff session will be a Listening Session. We want to hear your thoughts on how we at UW-Stevens Point can best help you as teachers and guides, and serve your students today and in the future.

SCHOLARSHIP DRAWING: 
At the end of the conference one lucky person will receive a $1000 scholarship for a student from their school to attend UWSP in the Department of Art & Design!
