The Mighty Leave Their Mark on New York Universities
By AnnA SAnderS t the citys most prestigious universities, money isnt the only way to leave a legacy. Just take a stroll through New York Universitys Greenwich Village campus and youll be surrounded by powerful names. The new Gould Plaza, the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts are each named after university benefactors. This name-dropping trend goes beyond NYU, many institutions in the city name programs, rooms, and schools to honor generous endowments and support.

$30 million, it was named after Leonard N. Stern, alumnus of the undergraduate college, class of 57, and the MBA program, class of 59. That gift was the impetus for moving the MBA program from its Trinity Place location near Wall Street to the campus at Washington Square, effectively uniting in one location the Undergraduate College and the graduate school, said Joanne Hvala, associate dean of marketing and external relations at Stern.

The Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts began as the pre-college Freshman Year Program at the New School in the early seventies. Just three years later, the high-school graduate program was expanded to include a full undergraduate program as The Seminar College. But, after a donation by philanthropist Eugene Lang, it was renamed Eugene Lang College. In 2005, the college underwent another namechange. It was renamed Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts as part of a unification effort by University President Bob Kerrey. The universitys mission is informed by the values of its namesake: informed by the values of its namesake: to foster critical thinking, social justice, and cross-cultural understanding.

Two LIM Graduates Start-Up and Win Big
eing a fashion aficionado isnt just about knowing the difference between green and chartreusealthough that helps. The real difference between the tastemakers and fashophiles is that the former would rather work at Barneys and the latter would rather shop there. OK: theyd probably prefer to do bothbut still, those at the cusp of the next big thing are found behind the scenes, not strutting their stuff in front. Enter Aimee Cheshire and Bianca Caampued. Ms. Cheshire is the co-founder Bianca caampued aimee cheshire of Madison Plus. The online marketplace is a one-stop shop for the latest trends and brands for plus size about the fashion business, and Im glad women. Ms. Caampued is co-founder of that I did it. Its the direct link from the Small Girls PR. The tiny New York PR brand to the consumer, she says. firm is known for representing some Small Girls PR has seen wide success big brand names. What do these two since its founding in 2010. With clients ladies have in common? A tiny piece of that range from fashion marketplace paper from LIM College, the Laboratory DesignerSocial to tech start-up Institute of Merchandising that is. BNTER, Ms. Caampued, along with A LIM diploma is more than a degree co-founder Mallory Blair, have become in fashion; its the ticket to transforming known in the New York media scene your impeccable sense of culture and for throwing some serious parties style from a hobby into a career. and having some kooky ideas. When I was in high school I had We came up with the idea of wearing actually wanted to go into science, then a prom dress everyday for 30 days for one day in my AP Chemistry class I was online retailer Tiza.com, in which we reading Lucky Magazine and I turned liveblogged our experience to build to my friend and said I want to work buzz. We got so much attention from here one day. Ms. Caampued told The publications like Glamour, Elle Girl, Observer. At that point I had realized and The NY Post, Ms. Caampued said. that science was more of a hobby and Small Girls success is no shock, the fashion, which I thought was a hobby, Mid-town based college is known for could be something that I could really producing some pretty talented alumni. turn into a career. I knew I wanted to LIM graduates have gone onto work for learn the business side of fashion and Liz Claiborne, Yves Saint Laurent, Coach somehow, as if it were fate, I happened to and Ralph Lauren. The rest end up like get a brochure in the mail about LIM: The Aimee Cheshire, who, instead of working College for the Business of Fashion.

Coming from Virginia, The college, which offers both graduate all I knew was that I wanted to be involved and undergraduate degrees in Fashion Merchandising, Visual Merchandising, Marketing and Management, along with a Masters in Business Administration, gave Ms. Caampued the know-how to run her own business.

with plus size fashion. But I had little understanding of the workings of the industry, Ms. Cheshire told The Observer. The Madison Plus owner and co-founder foresaw a fashion landscape where luxury style wasnt only accessible to those with a size 2 waistline. The smaller environment was key to allowing me to feel like I could participate in class and all the professors were easily accessible and had full resume of experience in the industry. I remember taking [the course] Specialized Markets, which focused on all the niche markets in the fashion industry. That was a class that really hit a sweet spot with me and now specialized markets is where I am making my career, she said. And Ms. Cheshires career is going quite well. Madison Plus was founded in 2009 and already its a notable name in the plus sized industry. Ive been lucky to have had much success with Madison Plus, ranging from mentions on Entertainment Tonight, The Today Show, hosting a style segment for plus sized fashion on WPix11, to most recently being mentioned as Best Of Web for both Instyle magazine and Essence magazine. All of these are great moments that help expose the plus sized industry and Madison Plus, Ms. Cheshire boasted. Its pretty gutsy for these two graduates to go off and start their own business, although LIM had a 100% placement rate in 2009 for those graduating with Associates degrees and 95% for those parting with a Bachelors. The comprehensive education is what pushed Ms. Cheshire to take the risk. LIM allowed me to understand the nuts and bolts of fashion, the industry behind the glam. I left with a well-rounded understanding of all the aspects of what goes into the fashion business. All of those experiences help me daily with Madison Plus, when youre a small business owner you have to manage all aspects of your business, Ms. Cheshire said. These LIM alumni have taken a great, big gamble and are thriving in an industry where many fail. With the help from one innovative fashion school in Mid-town, Ms. Caampued says, LIM gave me the education and experience that I needed to give me confidenceand to back up such a ballsy move as starting your own company.

ave you been feeling nostalgic for your music appreciation courses? Perhaps youre ready to dust of that old trombone sitting in the closet? Never fear, in New York City, a classical performance education neednt come to an end... even when the fat lady sings. From masters programs in opera performance to continuing education classes for ballet lovers, New York City higher education offers a wide variety of classical continuing education and degreegranting performing arts programs and theyre anything but a thing of the past. To the delight of aspiring Wagnerian Brunhildas, New York offers some of the finest vocal and opera performance graduate programs in the country. From Metropolitan opera superstars to aspiring Povarottis in subway stations, the opportunity to hear classical performers in New York is ubiquitous and, fortunately, theres a school or program for everyone. Since its merge with The New School in 1989, the Mannes College of Music, the citys smallest conservatory, has truly become host to one of the finest classical music programs in the county. Many choose Mannes for its long-standing reputation as a school that provides

unusually rigorous instruction, first rate faculty, and small class size. says Mannes Dean, Richard Kessler. More and more, people are looking to Mannes and the unique opportunities it provides he says. Led by an impressive faculty of seasoned opera veterans such as Ruth Falcon and Arthur Levy, the Mannes school of music vocal program is perhaps the pearl in the oyster. The opera program, led by Joseph Colaneri, puts on two major productions a year, which are presented at the Kaye Playhouse and feature Manness many talented Masters and Doctoral degree-seeking singers. For those who would simply like to take lessons or courses, Mannes offers individual classes through its extension division. Enrolled extension division students can improve their shower singing skills by taking private voice lessons, or attempt to become the next Mozart by enrolling in one of several composition classes. Both extension division classes and private lessons are offered in the spring and fall semesters. With graduate students outnumbering their undergrad counterparts, The Manhattan School of Music is undoubtedly one of the finest programs for the continuing study of instrumental music and opera. Located

on 122 and Broadway, it shares the serene neighborhood of Morningside Heights with esteemed universities including Columbia and Barnard. Faculty members come from the citys leading performing institutions such as The New York Philharmonic, The Metropolitan Opera, and the Chamber Music Society of the Lincoln center, to name a few. Composer Michael Dougherty and star mezzo-soprano Susan Graham are among the list of notable alumni who made the most of their time at The Manhattan School. MSM offers many performance opportunities for its graduate students, from fully-staged and costumed opera productions such as last years Summer and Smoke by American composer Lee Hoiby. Through a wide offering of masterclasses, MSM offers many opportunities for graduate and doctoral students to learn from professionals in the field. In just a couple of weeks on November 16th, MSM will be hosting a violin masterclass with virtuoso and chair of the Orchestral Performance Program, Glenn Dicterow. And lets not forget the time-honored tradition of dance. The Graduate dance program at the Tisch School of the Arts takes the cream of the crop, so to speak,

Her interest in avant-garde performance art transcended to the classroom too and she wasnt afraid to challenge modern teaching modes. He reminisced of one time in particular, whilst trying to convey the pitfalls that can occur in communication, she turned off all the lights and made everyone lay on their backs. Minus the aid of visual clues, the students really had to concentrate on what the speaker was saying, form their own opinion and anticipate a gap in conversation that would allow them to join in, or conversely, yield to the group when theyd spoken long enough.

New Yorks Most Beautiful Classrooms

Where academic success also means looking good
By SAShA levine

t might seem obvious that good facilities are a crucial precondition for learning. Having the right chairs, windows, chalkboards, and light all affect a students ability to digest information. Indeed, as studies show, student achievement is linked to the physical conditions of the classroom in which she learns, where if even one of these features falters, could hurt or help the students performance. So, if what They say goes, then the classroom might as well be gorgeous. New York touts some of the most amazing architecture in the States, and the Citys hundreds of undergraduate colleges and graduate schools dont fail to deliver. From the old, illustrious 17th century

wood paneled lecture hals to the sterile, white box artist studios with the most futuristic, techie digs, New York has a variety of styles to show off its eclectic educational aesthetics. Out of the innumerable classrooms to be found, here are a few of our favorite academic sites.

This lecture hall located on 1 East 78th Street is just one of many illustrious rooms in the Duke House, home of the art history and archeology programs at NYUs Institute of Fine Arts. Originally the freestanding mansion of Nanaline and James Buchanan Duke, the family donated their home to the university in 1958 for academic reuse. This room, like the others on the ground floor, retains many of the original details and decorations of this Beaux-Arts building built by architect Horace Trumbauer in 1912. With that kind of history, the Institute enjoys its legacy among the 5th Avenue mansions and the cultural centers of Museum Mile. The Institute won an award from the New York Landmarks Conservancy for the spectacular adaptive use of the structure.

Inside Barnards Diana Center on 3009 Broadway is a nexus of student life, theater, and art. From the dining hall to the green roof, the structure houses the most modern equipment and sleek, environmentally friendly design. This floor to ceiling glass undergraduate studio sits on the 4th floor of the Center, flooding with natural light and beautiful views of Broadway. After three years of deafening construction, the Weiss & Manfredi designed building was completed in January 2010. Since its opening, The Diana

And while the Italianate styled auditorium and brownstone exterior remain intact, a hearty renovation modernized the interior space.
