The Office of Creative Propulsion offers resources that support creative inquiry, interdisciplinary collaboration, teaching, research, and community engagement. Beyond programs and funding opportunities, OCP serves as a place where faculty, students, staff, and community partners can find space, tools, expertise, and connections to help bring ideas to life.
OCP's resources are designed to reduce barriers to collaboration and creative work. Whether you're looking for a meeting space for a new partnership, support for a class activity, assistance hosting an event, access to creative technology, or guidance in developing an interdisciplinary project, we can help identify the resources that best fit your needs.

Equipment, Technology & Materials
OCP maintains a growing collection of tools, materials, and technology that may be available for faculty and student checkout. Available resources vary over time and may include creative technologies, production equipment, project materials, and other tools that support teaching, learning, research, and creative practice.
Consultations & Connections
Sometimes the most valuable resource is a conversation. OCP can help connect faculty, students, and community partners with collaborators, campus resources, funding opportunities, and programs that support interdisciplinary and arts-centered work.
