Creativity is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity in today’s rapidly changing workplace. Join us for a conversation about how higher education can nurture creative cultures that inspire faculty, staff, and students to innovate and thrive. We will discuss the impact of creativity on innovation, organizational success, adaptability, and student engagement, while examining the challenges that often inhibit creativity. We will also explore research on empowering leadership and its potential to create environments where creativity can flourish.
