(I) came as a student because Columbia was a place of innovation, principle and commitment to making higher education [AT TENT ION MIN OR ITY ST U DE NT S ] accessible, which I believed in and continue to believe in. I also believe the notion of people shaping culture and time is challenging and reward ing." JOURNALISM Fingerprint on Columbia: "I take some small, shared credit for supporting and initiating govern ment structures within the institution. I take real pride in playing a role in the development of departments that didn't exist, that now exist such as middle management and the interpretive training program. I take some shared amount of credit and satisfaction that the initial notions of JOB principle, commitment and mission, the foundation of the college, are still as operative as they were 30 years ago, such as specialized cur riculum, students taking what they want right away and hands-on training, I also take shared credit for the whole notion of Columbia as a citizen of the community. The outreach work the dance center docs through Dance Africa and the outreach work the institute for science education and science communication docs by better preparing grammar school and high school science teachers are some of the dozen examples of Columbia being a responsible member of the community." Future goals: "(During the) next two years, (I) hope to rebuild and relocate Columbia's library. Other goals arc to redo the teaching spaces of almost a third of the departments, find a way to bring the dnnce facilities downtown, help Student Services and Student Life develop a more effective retention program coming out of the freshman experience, help develop an effective vehicle for student voluntecrism in ~1c community and there arc two or three academic programs I am currently studying." Why he likes Columbia: "One of the strengths of Columbia, among many, is it is never a finished project. It is changing, always improving, always building. Every day. week, month, year brings a whole new slate of oppor tunities." Best part about job: "The students. I confess, as the school got bigger and I've gotten busier, I don't give students as much time as I did, but the y are certainly the best part.
