Preparing Your Students for the Future
As we enter the Conceptual Age, have you made the shift necessary to prepare your students for their future?
According to Daniel Pink in his book “A Whole New Mind,” the future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind–creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers. These people–artists, inventors, designers, storytellers, caregivers, consolers, big picture thinkers–will now reap society’s richest rewards and share its greatest joys.
Kean University understands that the world is changing at an explosive rate and that today’s students need to be prepared for a future that depends on creativity and inventiveness. Sponsored by The Design Center at Kean University and the Art Directors Club of New Jersey (ADCNJ), this conference will feature dozens of presentations that promote and celebrate the value of creative thinking in school, the workplace and beyond.
