The Role of Creativity at Stanford
Loading...
Uploaded by StanfordUniversity on Nov 20, 2008
Education in the arts and humanities is the foundation of a liberal arts education and serves three important roles. First, it prepares graduates to deal with the complexity, diversity, and ambiguity of human societies. Second, it draws out and develops personal creativity. Third, the arts bridge all cultures, providing access to the experience of people in other times and places. In the contemporary world in which Stanford graduates will lead and inspire, understanding complexity, finding creative solutions to problems, and navigating the richness of human culture are essential capabilities.

helping people think outside the box. This is a very good mission.
-
nice one!

No question, creativity is what makes the world interesting.

Haaah. Stanford student here. This commercial is bogus. Yes, there are lots of people here who are passionate about innovation and creativity. How much does that translate into our undergraduate curricula? Not much. Also, only tourists look at those statues (:08), Taiko (:14) performs the same thing all the time, and if you're really passionate about dance (:05) or painting (:16), you sure as heck don't want to go to Stanford. This school has some of the most risk-averse undergrads ever.

excellent work!

"creative thinking". Teaching how to think. haha.... people are born knowing how to think. An excuse for professors to not teach. You teach yourself in the library lol. colleges certify. College students know their stuff.... but because professors weed out the brightest and hardest working students. NOT beacause professors teach good lol. Tenured professors do not have to teach good, they cannot lose their jobs. They research to gain funds, etc. YOU TEACH YOURSELF NO MATTER WHAT UNIVERSITY! lol

Probably whats more important is "what you learn" and "how you want to learn" rather than "where u learn"....So for all those non-stanfordians...game is still not over....But the ambiance of being amidst great minds surely helps!!
