Check it out! You don't want to miss higher education's premier planning conference, and your one chance this year to assemble with nearly 1,500 of your peers and colleagues: July 10–14, Minneapolis.

Darden finds a solution to teaching innovation and creativity by studying the programs in graphic arts and design schools, and schools of architecture. From Today's Campus:

Design, story, leadership, symphony, play and meaning predominate. Pink says these qualities are the new business literacy, and the MFA is the new MBA . . . Darden chose not to change a reworked MBA to an MFA, but to complement the de rigueur of accounting, finance, labor law and management with a team-based, collaborative search for creativity . . . That makes sense at a university founded by an extraordinary man who – as a horticulturist, philosopher, politician, farmer, architect, archaeologist, paleontologist, inventor, writer and U.S. president – used both sides of his brain quite well.
