Artist as Citizen: Building Creative Communities (Civic Engagement)
This workshop is an introduction to community-engaged art, an art genre that includes collaborative projects aimed to amplify voices, generate joy, promote equity, create safe spaces, and/or build sustainable solutions to problems as expressed by community members. The workshop will start with a brief introduction to community-engaged art. We will then make “personal power symbols” as part of a global Arts for Peace project that was piloted in July 2026 with 25 unwed, divorced, and widowed mothers in Casablanca, Morocco. Throughout the workshop, Professor Layton will show how it worked with the Moroccan mothers and provide tips on designing and leading your own workshops. This workshop will serve as a pre-requisite for the course "Artist as Citizen: Building Creative Communities" on campus. No experience in art is necessary. Just bring curiosity! Presented by Heather Layton, Dept of Art & Art History

Interfaith Literacy for 21st Century Leadership (Civic Engagement)
This workshop will briefly introduce you to issues and concerns that you should be aware of as you lead student groups on a religiously and culturally diverse campus. We will discuss the concepts of bridged and bonded social capital, and what it means to be a leader in a religiously pluralistic environment. We will identify key areas of concern as you plan and execute events on campus where interfaith literacy is important to the success of your work. This workshop offers important leadership tools even for those leaders who do not consider themselves religious and for groups that are engaged in secular programming and activities.

Managing the Creative Process: What Non-Theatre Majors Can Learn from Working in the Theatre (Practical Competence)
This workshop would take some of the core Stage Management duties involved in running a theatrical production and extrapolates how that process mimics and can support the management of any team endeavor from running a lab to developing a new product for industry. The Theatre presents a microcosm of the world of team (and product) development. Often considered a "fun activity"--the actual work involved in managing a theatrical process takes intuition, specialized skills and knowledge, emotional intelligence, time management and outstanding interpersonal skills, not to mention detailed and continual problem-solving and crisis management. The workshop would not only aim to develop students' skills, but also to raise awareness of how the creative process and its management might benefit students from all academic areas of inquiry. Presented by Nigel Maister, International Theatre Program
