Never before had I thought of the concept of exercising my creativity to make it stronger. I had always assumed that what creativity I had inside of me was it and there was no way to expand that. I thought this until I took Dr. Dill's seminar on creativity my senior year of college and was quickly set straight by her that my potential as a creative being was limitless! Her teaching and gentle pushing to go deeper inside ourselves was what lead me to pick up a paint brush for the first time, an outlet I have turned to again and again since. Her determination and drive as not only an artist but as a teacher has also helped in my recent decision to further my education. Thank you Dr. Dill for being an inspiration to me and countless others! Your class was a blast!

I do want to keep in touch with you throughout the semester and in years to come!! You have been such a HUGE help to me throughout my college career and I am forever grateful.

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.
