<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">At Bucknell University, there is a strong focus on interdisciplinary curriculum and the intersection of living, learning, and leadership. University professors understand that&nbsp; personalized learning helps ensure each student develops a diverse set of skills and is successful in their career after college. But one lacking aspect of the curriculum is the ability to practice creativity without the fear of failure. Selem do professors give completely open ended projects with no rubric, objectives, or tasks. Most employers, however, cite creativity, communication skills, and adaptability as key traits they look for in new hires. Why is there such a disconnect between the skills taught in college and the skills required in industry?</span></span>

How might we create this environment of creative problem-solving while in an academic setting?&nbsp;</span></span></span>
