A special award of $100 is going to Cynthia Lee Wong for the many drawings she has contributed to The Journal this year (see her most recent cartoon). Born in Schenectady, N.Y., Cynthia is a composition major studying under Milton Babbitt. As a participant in Juilliard's accelerated B.M./M.M. program, she received her bachelor's degree in 2004 and will earn her master's degree this month. Cynthia's distinctive cartoons, full of sly humor, capture the various aspects of life in the performing arts and have added visual spice to the newspaper.Student-written articles constitute a major portion of The Juilliard Journal and provide unique insight into what goes on both at the School and within the broader Juilliard community. While students may contribute either occasionally or frequently, The Journal often comes to depend on certain reliable and forward-thinking writers who not only take on regular assignments, but also keep the Publications Office aware of relevant topics that should be covered in these pages. The Juilliard Journal Award was created in 2004 to encourage and recognize such continual involvement with The Journal as an integral part of students' academic experience.All Juilliard students who are interested in writing for The Journal are encouraged to submit article ideas to Ira Rosenblum, director of publications (e-mail irosenblum@juilliard.edu), or Jane Rubinsky, senior editor (jrubinsky@juilliard.edu), or by calling ext. 341. The Publications Office is located in Room 442A.
