A dynamic and welcoming space like this doesn't come overnight and it definitely doesn't happen by accident. IE students and staff are putting in effort every single day to make the Creativity Center a space in which people can thrive. This whole initiative of 'walking the distance' is bigger than a slogan; it's a mindset.
