Cook It UP! Creativity Forums
Cook It UP! is the brainchild of Lynn Book which was launched as a campus and community forum on creativity in early 2006 to kick off the Creativity and Innovation Program initiative. The objective is to stimulate dialog and foster innovative collaborations between artists, scholars, researchers and the general public from divergent disciplines in an uncommon, creative environment. As with many of the initiatives of the Program for Creativity and Innovation, a high value is placed on extended learning opportunities for students with faculty development and public engagement. To date, the Cook It UP! forum has reached over 350 participants and attendees through the course of several nights of 'curious pleasure.'
