Creative Campus Residential Fellows

Community Description:

Creative Campus Residential Fellows

Creative Campus Residential Fellows (CCRF) experience is designed to connect students across academic disciplines and interests, and to encourage ongoing participation and engagement in cultural programs and initiatives. Housed in Vanderbilt-Barnard, Creative Campus Residential Fellows are expected to participate fully in a yearlong, explorative learning experience. Fellows build community through activities such as attending performances at TPAC or visiting Cheekwood. Fellows also join Vanderbilt’s Curb Scholars in attending monthly Creative Leadership Salons – lectures, discussions, and workshops – led by artists, entrepreneurs, and community members. Finally, fellows explore ways to engage and serve the community at Vanderbilt and beyond by planning and executing creatively-themed service projects. For questions, contact JoEl Logiudice (Director of the Office of Arts and Creative Engagement) at joel.logiudice@vanderbilt.edu or Ben Smith (Graduate Assistant) at benjamin.w.smith@vanderbilt.edu.

Vision:

The Creative Campus Residential Fellows program provides students a unique context in which to build their creative potential, develop leadership skills, and exercise their expressive voice. Students can surround themselves with innovative thinkers and leave a legacy through creative enterprise.

Program Goals:

The purpose of Creative Campus Residential Fellows is to integrate art, media, design and

creative expression into life at Vanderbilt and contribute to a culture where students, faculty and staff interact to

build synergy in the arts across disciplines. This living learning program will provide students a unique context

in which to build their creative potential, develop leadership skills, and exercise their expressive voice. Students

can surround themselves with innovative thinkers and leave a legacy through creative enterprise. Participants will

have an opportunity to build relationships with key community and campus leaders in the visual, literary, media,

design, music, film, and performing art organizations through projects, artist-in-residence programs, field trips, and

guest speakers. Participants will interact with Vanderbilt faculty associates and with other Curb Creative Campus

affiliates including the Curb Center scholars and interns. Participants will:

• Be open to new experiences and engagement with diverse groups.

• Explore creative enterprise and public leadership in the arts.

• Explore ways to use creativity and the arts as a means of serving the community.

• Become collaborators in an inter-disciplinary and cross-cultural exchange.

The Creative Campus Residential Fellows also attend monthly Creative Leadership Salons with Vanderbilt’s Curb Scholars through the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise, and Public Policy.
