Thibodeaux; Director of Scholarships, Rebekah Maxwell; and five students - Samira Ahmed, Katherine Correa, Jack Dolce, Madeline Hiebert and Fizzah Khan, comprised the delegation.
The conference theme was “Disrupting Education: Honors, Creativity and Innovation.” During the five-day event students and faculty networked and attended hundreds of workshops and sessions discussing topics related to what’s called the “creativity crisis,” the lack of creativity’s impact on U.S. education and how honors students can provide solutions.
“Madeline Hebert and I presented over an honors topic course called, “Poetry of Perception in NCHC’s Idea Exchange session,” said Katherine Correa. “The course was focused on interpreting poetry, not as one was expected to, but rater based on the person’s perceived perspective.”
Three Reaud Honors College students - Samira Ahmed, Jack Dolce and Fizzah Khan – exhibited creative solutions serving on a panel where they showcased the College’s ePortfolio initiative. “An ePortfolio is a digital tool for personal creativity and innovation,” said Fizzah Khan.
Renowned creative thinker, Lynda Barry, who is currenlty an associate professor in Interdisciplinary Creativity, Director of the Image Lab at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery and the Chazen Family Distinguished Chair in Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was the plenary speaker.
“From practicing historians to students studying graphic design, it was amazing how much knowledge people had to share with each other at the event,” said Correa.
