Ruth Noller
This is a message from the Director of the ICSC at Buffalo State CollegeDear CRS Community,
I want to share some updates with you regarding Ruth. A memorial service is scheduled
for Saturday, June 7, at the Palms Memorial Garden in Sarasota, Florida.
I spoke with Dave Noller yesterday and he sounded strong. He reminded me that June 7th
is their 61st wedding anniversary. Dave informed me that Ruth’s ashes would be interred
here in Buffalo at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd. Plans
have not been set yet, but as they emerge I will let you know.
Tara Coste has coordinated with the Creative Education Foundation and established a blog
in tribute to Ruth, the website is http://ruthnoller.blogspot.com
We will also be including a tribute to Ruth in our web page, as will the Creative
Education Foundation. I will let you know when these sites are up.
Warm Wishes,
Gerard

A note from the CIM conference team: Dear Creativity Enthusiast,
With May fast approaching, the excitement about the Creativity and Innovation Conference is mounting. We are very excited about this international event and look forward to an excellent opportunity to network, hear inspiring paper presentations and learn from prestigious keynote speakers.
This conference, co-hosted by the editors of the Creativity and Innovation Management journal and the faculty of the International Center for Studies in Creativity, features 6 keynote speakers and more than 30 concurrent paper presentations. The keynote speakers have been drawn from both industry and higher education, with such well known thought leaders as Todd Lubart of the University of Paris and Michael Mumford from the University of Oklahoma. Business leaders from IBM and Fisher-Price Brands will discuss the strategies they use to sustain innovation in their organizations.
The goal of the conference is to create a spirited dialog between those focused on research and those more concerned with application. To that end, the theme of the conference is "Integrating Inquiry and Action."
We hope you will join us for the very special event. The conference is scheduled for May 28 to May 30, 2008. Please note that the early bird price is $225 and full price is $275. The deadline for early bird registration is March 15th, which is fast approaching.

Creative Studies Improv Show
Just a reminder about the Creative Studies Improv Show.
The show is Sunday, December 2nd at 7pm at The Riviera Theater in North Tonawanda.
It's on 67 Webster Street.
What should you expect?
Think of 'Who's Line Is It Anyway' + Creative Studies.
One Game example:
We'll play the 'Highlight the Essence Game' (E.P. Torrance).
We'll perform a scene for a minute and a half.
We'll then replay that same scene --- in 45 seconds.
We'll take the key information and keep it in the scene.
After that, we'll replay it again --- in 25 seconds. Then again in 12 seconds.
We'll play that... and many, many more games during the evening.
Fun + Education + Popcorn = Creative Studies Improv Show.
Hope to see you there!
