moment, examining the texture of the embellishments. She combs
through a rack of skirts, settling on a simple black denim skirt
that appears to still have plenty of wear. She holds it up for Max’s
approval. He nods, and she adds it to the pile of clothes on her arm
as they move through the racks of pants and shorts.
On an overcast afternoon in August, a member of Shenandoah’s
staff walked across Sarah’s Glen toward the Ohrstrom-Bryant
Theatre. The humid air reverberated with the booming thrum
of heavy equipment breaking rock and drilling earth at the
construction site for the new Health & Life Sciences Building.
The staff member paused, listening as the vibration bounced off
the side of Ohrstrom-Bryant Theatre, the clanging noise of the
construction equipment transformed into a crashing point and
counterpoint that echoed in her heartbeat. In the stillness of her
breath — for just one moment — the metallic clatter captured her
imagination and synthesized into music.
When you can view something in your world and see it through
a new lens, you never look at it the same way again. In one
brilliant moment of inspiration, you gain a new perspective that
enables you to connect ideas and expand your life experience.
That’s creativity. At Shenandoah, students, faculty and staff live a
culture of creativity every day, discovering and creating unexpected
connections that transform old ways of thinking and prepare
students to become innovative leaders in their chosen careers.
