I got a job two days after graduation. I'm the Editor of the Washington County News now. It's a lot of work (like seventy-five hours a week at least) but I'm running my own show. I struggle every day for creativity. Since I'm the editor, designer, and lead reporter it's very difficult to be creative in all three aspects. Any suggestions on exercises I can do to focus my creative energy would be greatly appreciated. If I hadn't taken your class this past spring I would not be able to handle this job. I find myself thinking of my front page in terms of your three step process: concept, statement, and treatment.

Are you Jane Ann, mother of Mississippi Blue? I used to take care of her in Paris. Would love to talk to you again!

I am a former and future student of Dr. Dill. Her seminar in creativity was the eye-opening experience that changed my academic and creative foci. She encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone and helped me to overcome my fear of my own creativity.

I am very interested in the panel at CAA and your work/research in general. I live in Germany and would be interested in the final papers and also projects you are working on. I am an artist/animator and studied at SAIC in Chicago. Thanks for your work!

Still would like to get together if that is possible (you do exist in the physical world I presume). This looks like a great enterprise.

Cool site with much needed focus on intersection between creativity and thought! Look forward to seeing more on art, tech, critical engagement and also for the Engle project!

As a student at The University of Alabama who has twice experienced Seminars in Creativity with Dr. Janeann Dill and seen each time how rich the experience can be, I am extremely excited at the idea of opening up a "virtual classroom" that will extend these seminars to include minds from, quite literally, the entire world! These seminars are in diametric opposition to â??arid lecturesâ?�: Dr. Dillâ??s classes do not consist of a professor talking â??atâ?� a silent class, but are rather forums in the fullest senseâ??melting pots of thoughts and new ideas, with a focus on the mutual enrichment of intellectual contributions from the professor and from the students. I am very much looking forward to seeing how these virtual classrooms come to life! Laura Godorecci Student Filmmaker The University of Alabama

I am a former student of Dr. Dill's. Dr. Dill is an artist and scholar who motivates her students to tap into their creativity. She provokes her students to find and sustain an outlet of creativity. Her unique blend of disciplines allows her to pull from divergent schools of thought and intertwine them into a masterpiece during class discussions. She is a creative professor who truly inspires creativity!

I am a former student of Dr. Dill's and it gives me great pleasure to express how much influence she and the class she instructed (Introduction to Creativity) had on me. Coming into this class, I saw myself as an average girl who did not express any creativity of artistic talent; however, throughout the course, I soon began to realize all the creativity I had hidden inside of me! Dr. Dill made our class go outside of the box and "find ourselves." I must admit I found myself through photography and was very impressed with my final project! Dr. Dill has had a major positive impact on me as well as my other colleagues. I am proud to say she was my professor and also learned the new and improved creative side of myself! Thank you Dr. Dill for everything! Going outside of the box taught me so much more about myself than I ever knew. :)

Excellent concept - looking forward to the seminar!
