"The Creative Studies program is a one-of-a-kind program that will enrich all aspects of your life!"

Dorothy Ly had no idea that a course she had taken during the freshman year of her undergraduate work would make such a huge impact on her life. That introduction to creativity course was exactly what she thought of when it came time for her to select a graduate program. The Creative Studies program has everything that she was looking for: a program that provides options within and outside of education, enriches her students' learning, and fulfills the requirement to earn her New York State permanent teaching certification.
As an elementary teacher, Dorothy has indeed applied the skills she learned at the International Center for Studies in Creativity. She introduces a strong teamwork ethic to her students and encourages them to be independent problem solvers. Dorothy uses creative problem solving tools and creative thinking in her daily life in collaborating with her peers, planning lessons, and working with students. Dorothy insists that her creative background has improved her classroom management skills and created a great learning environment for student success.
The Creative Studies program is also an excellent networking opportunity. Dorothy built friendships with peers from a variety of business and educational backgrounds. She displays her creative knowledge through her educational facilitation business, Tri-Umphant SolutionsTeam. Dorothy has teamed up with her peers, Kelly Shaft and Jennifer Yund, to expand their creative skills within education. Dorothy couldn't be happier with her experiences at the International Center for Studies in Creativity.
