What attracted you to the Arts Administration Program at Teachers College, Columbia University? I was attracted to the ARAD program because of the access to unparalleled New York arts environment, the ability to take classes in Columbia’s prestigious business and law schools as well as the close knit community that TC offers.

Describe student life as a member of the ARAD community. I love life as an ARAD student especially because my cohort is so supportive from study groups to happy hours. I’m very fortunate to be able to learn with and from the ARAD community.
