With the guidance of faculty and staff mentors, students will develop and implement a year-long creative legacy project. This project encourages residential fellows to be innovative, enterprising and curious thinkers and leaders in the community, and is a cornerstone of the living-learning experience.

 

Residential fellows meet weekly to build relationships and engage with creative leaders, entrepreneurs and artists in media, design, music, film, and the performing, literary and visual arts. Meetings include site visits, dinners with faculty, project mentoring, professional development workshops and the Curb Creative Leadership Salons.     

Curb Creative Leadership Salons
In partnership with the Curb Scholars program, residential fellows also participate in Curb Creative Leadership Salons, which offer students the opportunity to engage with leaders about their creative process and examine contemporary issues around creativity and culture, expressive life, leadership, enterprise and the public interest. 

Opening and closing retreats bookend the residential living-learning experience. The opening retreat, which is held the day before campus move-in, is designed to build community and give students a chance to be involved in creative production, such as the creation of a short film.  At the closing retreat, faculty, staff and students celebrate the projects and collective work of the Fellows and Scholars, and explore ideas for the following year.
