Student Hosts Needed for The Juilliard Experience!

Help host a prospective student for The Juilliard Experience, an innovative program that brings high-school students from around the country here to Juilliard for a taste of life as a conservatory student. We’re looking for current resident students who are in good academic and disciplinary standing. If you’re interested, please pick up an application in the Student Affairs Office or the Office of Residence Life. The Juilliard Experience takes place December 4-7.

If you have any questions, please call Chris Clarke at ext. 7400 or Sabrina Tanbara at ext. 7200. Thank you in advance for making The Juilliard Experience a memorable one!

The President’s Office announces open office hours

Monday afternoons from 2 to 3 p.m. Students are welcome to use this hour to make appointments to see President Polisi. They may make appointments for other times as well.

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 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.
