Unfortunately, the anticipation and excitement that usually accompanies the beginning of a new fall semester is tinged with sadness this year. On behalf of all of Columbia's faculty and staff, I would like to offer my deepest condolences to any student whose life may have been personally touched by this national tragedy. To assist these stu dents, the College is establishing two funds: a scholarship fund for the children of those who were killed or disabled as a result of these unthinkable acts and a relief fund for the families of the rescue workers who were killed or disabled while performing their acts of heroism in the days following the massacre. Please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at 3 12-344-7287 (extension 7287 on-campus) for further information. In this time of strife, a new sense of national purpose and pride has risen from the despair and turmoil of the senseless terrorist acts that befell our country on September II th. Expressions of this renewed sense of patriotism must not include discrimination and/or prejudice against those with various faiths and backgrounds within our College community. Any such discrimination and/or prejudice is unac ceptable. And so, with healing and hope, Columbia College Chicago begins the new semester. The year begins with the annual New Student Convocatio n Friday, October 12 at the Congress Plaza Hotel. I strongly urge you to attend this fun and informative event that includes: • a brief welcoming program including a student-produced video, music by our student jazz ensemble, and a celebrity alumni visitor • a student services expo with over 50 exhibitors providing information and gifts • a catered lunch • a party with music by the J. Davis Trio and an interactive installation and perfoiTI?ance. A number of new Student Affairs initiatives begin this year that serve to help all students enjoy a satisfying experience during their time at Columbia College Chicago: • MASCOT, our O nline Student Center at http://www.columbiacollegechicago.mascot.com. Columbia students now have campus e-mail providing access to group and personalized announcements, a student and faculty directory, a calendar of events on and off campus, and e-group pages. • This fall you will receive The Informer, the completely rewritten Student Handbook. In addition to basic information about the College, it includes a datebook with upcoming campus events and a city resource guide. • We now have a Student Employment Office dedicated solely to work aid and work study positions. Additionally, there will be an Increased Minimum Wage for student employees -- $7/hour, 24% higher than last year. • We have consolidated the Financial Aid, Bursar, and Cashi er offices into a new Office of Student Financial Services, to provide "one-stop shopping" for students and tileir families. • The new Student Government will represent your voice while serving as liaison with faculty, staff and administration. Elections for SGA positions will be held in the spring. • Also new, the Student Activities and Leadership office will oversee Special Events, Student Organizations, Student Government, and MASCOT. • Multiple activities are beginning or ongoing in Multicultural Student Affairs. The Office of Gay & Lesbian Student Concerns has opened, the African American and Latino Cultural Affairs offices have planned some exciting initiatives, and the College is currently conducting a search for a director of Asian Cultural Affairs. • For the first time, the College will simultaneously showcase all student end-of-the-year exhibits and performances -- similar to last year's very successful ArtWalk --in MayFest on a single Friday night in May. We plan to use all exhibit and performance spaces as well as street space on Wabash Avenue for this spectacular event. The College recently divided its academic structure into four schools -- Media Arts, Fine and Performing Arts, Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Graduate and Continuing Education. Each academic department has been assigned to one of these schools. The schools will be valuable to students for several reasons: • Faculty members will have more time to devote to student concerns because we have added four new deans and supporting administrators. • Academic departments that share common interests within each school will work together to plan events and learn about technology that is useful to all their students. • The deans and our new Office of Sponsored Programs will raise funds for scholarships and student-centered activities and programs. Please join me in welcoming our new provost/vice president of academic affairs Steven Kapelke, associate provost Jan Garfield, and the acting deans of the schools: Doreen Bartoni, Media Arts; Leonard Lehrer, Fine and Performing Arts; Cheryi-Johnson-Odim, Liberal Arts and Sciences; and Keith Cleveland, Graduate and Continuing Education. I also welcome Jo Cates, the new director of the Columbia College Chicago Library. She will be working to integrate the library closely with stu dents' academic lives and provide increased services to students, fac ulty and staff. We have some exciting changes in academic programs this year. The College now offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree as well as our traditional Bachelor of Arts degree. The BFA is a professional degree that provides intensive training in the skills necessary for arts professionals. BFAs are available in Photography, Fashion Design, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Fine Arts, Illustration, Advertising Art Production, Product Design. Dance, Acting, Directing and Theater Design. For students who want to complement their major with practical web design skills, we are now offering a minor in Web Technology. In facilities improvements, the F il ~ideo department has added two floors-- 5 and 6 -- at 11 04 S. Wabash. The new space will house cine matography, tech, and advanced editing classes and editing and other post-production facil ities. As our tenants have now vacated 33 E. Congress, we have relocated a few College offices to this building and will continue to do so during this new school year. Again, I welcome all new and returning students, and encourage and support you in your year of study. Our goal is to make Columbia College Chicago the best student-centered arts and media college in the world. We can't do it without you! Warrick L.

"I'm tom though, because it could be yet another gathering of masses, and we could end up as sitting ducks.
