DJ Inge Pop, of Panty Ho’s and Girly Action fame, will be spinning on the 1’s and 2’s.

Harlem ain’t been so hot since the Renaissance and Morningside… in a while either.

Need a cup of Joe for that first thing in the afternoon meeting?  So do we!

As part of the Arts Student Council’s Week of Events, we’re hosting another coffee break at Blue Java.  Come have a free cup of coffee or tea, and heck ­ even a cookie ­ with your members of the Arts Student Council TOMORROW (Tuesday, April 17) from 12:30 until ­ 2pm.

Come say hello to your student reps from THEATRE, FILM, WRITING and VISUAL ARTS at our little table in the 3rd floor lobby of Dodge Hall, and grab a ticket for your very own cup of joe (or tea). And if you’re really nice, you can have a cookie, too!

ASC members will be available to answer your questions and hear your concerns.  Bring your ideas for upcoming events, too.
Remember, we represent you—let us know how we can help!

We hope to see you happily caffeinated on Tuesday!

Because of a number of factors, the School of the Arts BBQ and Open House scheduled for Thursday, April 19 at 6pm has been CANCELLED.

The Arts Student Council is planning an alternative event, most likely an off-campus happy hour, so stay tuned for more information!

Thank your understanding.

For those of you who are still lamenting the loss of "Ms. Moneybags" (aka Elyssa East, the former Manager of the Artists’ Resource Center and author of the "SoA Guide to Outside Scholarships and Grants" and the ever-popular "Friday Funds") we have some fantastic news!

Please join me in welcoming Marjorie Orcel-Cozart to the School of the Arts staff.  She is the new Coordinator of the Artists’ Resource Center and has spent the last few weeks working with Elyssa to become familiar with many arts-related outside funding opportunities (she prefers ‘Ms. Treasure Trove," if you please…).

Marjorie comes to us from a background in financial and non-profit work.  We’re thrilled to have her join our team.

The Artists’ Resource Center (ARC) was created to provide support to student applications to outside scholarships, fellowships, and grants, in addition to offering professional development resources.  

She’s here to help you, so be sure to take a moment to stop by and say ‘hello.’   She sits in 305 Dodge and can be reached either by e-mail (mro2105@columbia.edu) or by phone at (212) 854-2761.   If you stop by, make sure to help yourself to a Sugar Daddy or chocolate coin.

Welcome, Marjorie!
