Creativity Takes Courage
An attribute or a process, a sharply tuned skill set or perhaps a habit of mind—creativity is experiencing a surge of public acclaim. As a prerequisite for problem solving, or the key to successful marketing, or the route to new understanding, creativity is in demand. Writers trying to share what science has to say about creativity find avid readers. Public opinion leaders in diverse fields rank creativity among the essential skills as we try to resolve intractable issues, understand who we are, and learn to live with one another.
While we have much to learn about the mysteries of getting to new ideas, the journey can be tedious and long, frustrating and lonely before it reaches its reward. Milton alumni are known for a particular confidence in themselves and their ideas, as well as for the persistence and adaptability to see a project through to fruition. Their stories in this magazine provide evidence of courage in various shapes and colors.
We explore, also, how today’s Milton intentionally cultivates and celebrates creativity among our faculty and students.
