Meet the people and resources you'll find inside the Weitz Center for Creativity.

Creativity crosses the boundaries of all academic disciplines. To encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and a continuous cross-pollination of ideas, the Weitz Center houses a diverse mix of faculty, staff, and academic initiatives.

Academic Departments
The departments of Theater and Dance and Cinema and Media Studies (CAMS) now make their permanent home in the Weitz Center, near their new performance and production spaces. The department of Art and Art History also has a toehold in the building with a new studio for the teaching of drawing, along with some office and work space.
