Introduction of Conference Host Dr. Nancy Uscher, President, Cornish College of the Arts
by ASN Second Vice President, Donn K. Harris, Executive and Artistic Director, Oakland School for the Arts and Chairman, California Arts Council

Keynote 
 

The Role of Arts Research University: 
Technology as a Model for Change
Monica Ponce de Leon, AIA, Dean and Eliel Saarinen Collegiate Professor of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Michigan; Vice Chair, Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities; Principal, MPdL Studio

The arts are an essential ingredient to interdisciplinary research, problem-solving and accelerating creative solutions to complex problems. Universities, public and private, have valued and fostered the role of arts in all aspects of education and research. As arts' awareness, interest and funding models change, so must the role of arts at universities. Specifically, universities must recast how arts, including design and making, are engaged in the classroom and campus culture to foster their importance in academic and society. Arts inclusivity is key to making this happen.

To address how the research university can engage the arts, Ponce de Leon will discuss: 
  • How technology integration inside and outside the classroom serves as a model for shifting how we think about the arts; 
  • How academic institutions are sharing information to uncover a new model; and 
  • How universities can model the role of arts in culture and society.
