  • Creative Expression Workshop

    Everyone receives and relays information in their own unique way. Some of us may understand what is going on through metaphors, music, writing and artistic expression. Tapping into your creative side may allow you to find a way to express what you're thinking and feeling. In this six-week workshop, we will use writing and drawing prompts to artistically capture how we are feeling and express it in a way that honors our unique experience. No prior artistic experience is required. This workshop is open to both undergrad and graduate students.

    Thursdays 1–2:30 p.m.
