Recently I attended the awards ceremony at the University of North Texas for the Radio TV Film Department. The students look younger every year. It was impressive to see what these young adults are accomplishing and exciting to see their enthusiasm. You might wonder why I was there since none of the students were related to me or how this topic relates to my blog.
There are so many ways to support and promote creativity. When my husband, Walt, was sick with cancer we talked about his desire to establish a scholarship for students interested in the technical or engineering aspect of RadioTVFilm. He was the chief engineer for the student TV station on campus and one of the most creative people I've known. Our mediums for creativity were so completely different, but I had great respect for him as an artist.
Since Walt's been gone, I've made sure that his request was honored. I've had a lot of help and support from family and friends. This year two students were awarded the Walter P Deed Scholarship and I was able to be there to meet them. It was a thrilling experience to be a part of the ceremony and know that we are supporting their education, career and promoting creativity. You never know how you can support creativity, so be on the look out for those opportunities!
