Calling All Student Writers and Cartoonists!

Earn extra cash by putting your talents to work for The Juilliard Journal! We need student contributors to cover school events as well as other activities and issues that are of interest to the Juilliard community.

Why not write about what it’s like to work with a distinguished guest director, conductor, or choreographer… or share the experience of bringing music to hospital-bound children… or express your views about current topics in Voice Box, a monthly student opinion column? Maybe you have a talent for distilling the essence of something humorous—or serious—into a drawing… Students earn work-study pay for their articles or drawings—in addition to the satisfaction of knowing that their work will be seen by thousands of readers around the world, in print, and online. We hope your talents will find their way into our pages.

Stop by the Publications Office (Room 442A), call ext. 341, or e-mail us at journal@juilliard.edu. We look forward to being a part of your Juilliard experience!




Community Service Fellowship Program

The Community Service Fellowship Program provides a wonderful opportunity for students to earn money for school by performing in health care facilities in the New York City area. The concerts offer unique performance opportunities and memorable experiences for students at the same time as they greatly benefit the health care facilities in the therapeutic care of their patients. Participating fellows receive a stipend per performance.

The program is open to all creative students in music, drama, and dance. Students are required to apply as a group (whether a chamber music group, a drama or dance group, or an interdisciplinary combination), but each student fills out an individual application that includes a statement describing their group’s presentation. They are also asked to submit a list of repertoire that emphasizes the diversity of their program. All applicants must be full-time registered students and in good academic standing.

Applications will be available in the Office of Educational Outreach (Room 245) beginning Friday, November 1, for the 2003-04 academic year. The application deadline is Friday, December 13. Interviews will be scheduled during the months of January and February, with interview sign-up beginning December 2. Students will be notified of their status in April. Once accepted into the program, both new and returning fellows are required to attend an orientation workshop in April.




A Concert to Honor David Walter

A concert featuring Juilliard double bass alumni will be held in Paul Recital Hall on September 26, 2002, 8 p.m.

This event is to celebrate David Walter’s 90th birthday. A longtime Juilliard faculty member, Walter recently retired. The concert is free (no tickets required).
