Applications Sought for Faculty Prize
Faculty members are encouraged to apply for the John Erskine Prize. The annual $5,000 prize is open to Juilliard faculty in all divisions, to help underwrite projects that will contribute to their field of the performing arts. Special consideration will be given to activities that are interdisciplinary in nature and that make a contribution to the community. Applications, including a description of the project and a budget, should be addressed to the Dean’s Office and are due on April 1.
Juilliard Summer Project Grants Available
Juilliard financially supports, in full or part, the summer activities of a small number of students who engage in structured summer projects outside their regular professional artistic studies. The projects should be designed both to expand students’ professional versatility and to strengthen their sense of social responsibility as artists.
Preference will be given to projects that have not only educational value to the student beyond conventional artistic or academic studies, but also potential benefit to others, especially those in underserved areas of the United States. Students are encouraged to apply for summer grants by submitting a written description of their project and proposed budget, including contributions by the applicant and other funding sources, to the Dean’s Office by March 17.
Attention! All Graduating Students!
Check your mailbox for important information about Commencement 2003.
Cap and gown order forms must be submitted to the Office of Student Affairs (Room 219) during the period March 24-28 (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If you are considering taking part in the commencement exercises on Friday, May 23, please bring in your completed cap and gown form. At that time, you may also pick up your tickets and engraved announcements.
As before, a ticket policy will be in effect for admission to the graduation ceremony. Because of limited seating in Alice Tully Hall and the anticipated number of graduates to be in attendance, it is necessary to restrict the admission of invited guests. Please note: Tickets to the ceremony cannot be guaranteed if you do not register for a cap and gown during the dates specified above. Further information will be available through the Office of Student Affairs beginning March 24.
Student Luncheons With President Polisi
President Joseph Polisi is hosting a monthly series of informal lunches for 15 to 20 students. An open agenda for each luncheon will allow students to discuss issues of particular interest to them with the president and other senior administrators and faculty.
The remaining two luncheons this spring will take place on Friday, March 28, at noon and on Thursday, April 24, at 12:30 p.m. Both are in the Board Room on the second floor. Interested students should sign up with Martha Sterner in the President’s Office. Space is limited, and will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
