From students to faculty, courses to assignments, the Center for Distance Learning houses an enormous wealth of creativity. The summer edition of CDL Connection offers just a sample of the creative work occurring at the Center for Distance Learning.

In this issue, you will read about students creatively pursuing coursework and positively impacting their communities; student performers and writers; faculty and staff who have "other lives" as artists; and a course that creatively combines virtual and real communities.

We hope you enjoy this issue, and hope its contents ignite your own creative spark.
