The Office of Student Affairs (O.S.A.) is happy to present our monthly column, Students Offstage, featuring information about student activities, events, and programs sponsored mainly by the Student Affairs, Residence Life, International Advisement, and Career Services offices, as well as registered student organizations. This is a medium for students to learn about opportunities to develop themselves outside of the classroom and off the stage. In the coming months visit this section of The Juilliard Journal to find out about events such as the Halloween dance, December Chill Out, Horizons programs, and the annual spring block party. We’ll also have information about new events and activities in N.Y.C. Students Offstage will complement the weekly Student Affairs e-mail blast of low-cost and discounted events in N.Y.C., to provide students with a plethora of activities to choose from. We will also provide information and updates on student leadership opportunities such as Student Council, student organizations, and the Juilliard Leadership program.
Any student may start a registered student organization—all it takes is five full-time enrolled students in good standing, a mission, a faculty or staff advisor, and a little time to fill out a registration form from the O.S.A. Students interested in starting a new club should e-mail osa@juilliard.edu or visit the O.S.A., located next to the Morse Student Lounge on the plaza level.
The O.S.A. has revived Student Council, a diverse group of students who work with the O.S.A. to maintain and improve student life at Juilliard. Student Council represents the student body and advocates for student issues and improvements. Students interested in becoming a part of Student Council should e-mail Sabrina Tanbara, director of student affairs, at studentcouncil@juilliard.edu.
Be on the lookout for the multitude of Horizons programs coming this fall! Horizons seminars are fun, interactive, and educational, and are designed to put you on the inside track for a spectacular college experience. To stay up to date on future events, join the Juilliard Horizons group on Facebook.
The O.S.A. wishes all Juilliard students a productive and happy 2010-11 year!
