The Springfield Experience is a project that all Wittenberg students participate in during their freshman year. The project allows students to explore creativity in the Springfield community and become acquainted with its residents.
Students select an exemplar in the Springfield community that they believe exemplifies creativity.
The Springfield Experience has become a memorable experience in many of the students' education. In my exploration of creativity, I chose Anita Marsel as my exemplar. She is a Physical Therapist Assistant at Community hospital. I went to the hospital for an afternoon to interview Anita and observe her interaction with patients from the community. Anita is involved in the rehabilitation of patients that suffer from physical disabilities associated with birth defects, illness, surgery, stroke, aging, and work related accidents.
