Schedule an appointment with Ms. Treasure Trove, Marjorie R. Orcel-Cozart, who says, "Please feel free to stop by."

Watch for the New Artists’ Resource Center website due to launch in late Spring 2007!

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!
