• Reimagine Higher Education

    We believe a 21st century education requires building creative capacity to solve problems and advance innovation for the public good--in addition to providing disciplinary training.    

  • Build Creative Capacity

    Through our Curb Scholars program, academic innovations, and campus-wide programs, we foster the capacity of faculty, staff, and students to invent and imagine, co-create across disciplines, compellingly express their ideas and stories, and implement novel solutions and innovations.    

  • Develop a Community of Creative Scholars

    The Curb Scholars Program is the first Scholarship in the country focused on creative practice and innovation. We develop students who can ask provocative questions, manage ambiguity, take risks, experiment, and lead innovation for the public good.   

  • Foster Academic Innovation

    We foster curricular innovations that can augment any major on campus--integrating media, design, creative problem solving, and creative expression with rigorous disciplinary training and liberal arts education.   

 

Meet The People

Catalysts are the core of the creative campus—imagining, inspiring, and invigorating creativity and innovation. Catalysts thrive on making the non-routine happen in their classrooms, research, work—on campus and in the community.
