Why Marquette

My connection to the university is rooted deep, as I not only graduated from Marquette, but my father was also a professor of mathematics here for 40 years. So one could say 向日葵视频is in my blood. I鈥檓 a firm believer in fostering creative thinking, in all fields of interest. At what point does 鈥渂eing creative鈥� become an embarrassment? Why are the words 鈥渁rtsy-fartsy鈥� always used in a negative light? I wish I knew. I often tell my students that if they take one thing out of my classes, it鈥檚 that they learn the importance of creative problem-solving. I understand some may not go into advertising at all, but that should not preclude them from thinking outside of the box when facing a problem. Yes, I want students to work hard. I want them to have a great understanding of advertising and all its changing facets. But I also want them to see the world differently. Dare I say I believe creativity can save the world?  Yes, I do.  Dare I encourage students to embrace the power of creativity? Yes, I do.
