Dean’s 

Letter 

Welcome 

to the Graduate School of Journalism! 

You are beginning an extraordinary, 

exhilarating, demanding experience that will probably stay with you, 

not only as the launching point of your career, but also as one of the 

best-remembered years of your life. 

Perhaps you will be living for the first time in what 

we at Columbia chauvinistically consider to be 

the world’s greatest city, which is also the capital 

of the media industry and (as you’ll soon find out 

for yourself) a great place in which to practice 

journalism. You will also be, in most cases for the 

last time in your life, a member of a great research 

university, which is home to a collection of 

intellectual resources matched in very few places in 

the world. I’d urge you to take as much advantage 

of Columbia and New York City as you can. 

I have spent my whole life on deadline as a 

journalist, and I can tell you that you are entering a 

career that is unique in the range of experiences and 

satisfactions it offers. As a journalist, you will have 

a kind of magic ticket to the world, which allows 

you to explore realms more freely than members of 

any other profession. There is no better outlet for 

a relentless curiosity than a career in journalism. 

You will also have a position of great respect and 

responsibility in society, as a crucial mediator 

between an engaged citizenry and the institutions 

of society. Democracy cannot function properly 

without good journalism. We at the Graduate 

School of Journalism hope not only to teach you 

how to be a first-rate journalist, but also to make 

you aware of the fullest social and intellectual and 

literary potential that the profession you have 

chosen holds. 

Like any first-rate institution, the Journalism 

School aims to grow and improve constantly. 

Sometimes this process is invisible. This fall it’s 

obvious: significant portions of our building are 

new. We are just in the final stages of a complicated 

construction project, which has brought us a 

renovated building lobby, a library, a social center, 

a newsroom, classrooms, new offices for the deans 

who interact most often with students, and, soon 

and last, a cafè. You will be the first Journalism 

School students who get to use all of this wonderful 

new space. In your first few weeks, you will have to 

be a little patient while we finish the cafè. 

I look forward to meeting you, and meanwhile, 

again, you have the heartiest possible welcome from 

the Journalism School and from the University. 

This will be an experience to treasure. 

Sincerely, 

Dean and Henry R. Luce Professor 


Part-Time Program 

Director’s Letter 

Greetings! 

As director of the part-time 

program at Columbia University’s 

Graduate School of Journalism, I am delighted to welcome you to 

the school. We are very much looking forward to working with you 

this summer and in the semesters to come. No doubt you have many 

questions about the upcoming term, so please look to the following 

information as a guide. 

Orientation 

Mandatory orientation for the part-time class, 

which includes an introductory meeting with your 

RW1 instructor, will be held on Friday, May 22 from 

8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., with a reception to follow 

from 4:15 to 5:45 p.m. You will also be setting up 

your computer accounts and receiving your ID 

cards, two essential items, so you do not want to 

miss this day. 

Class Registration 

You do not have to register for classes; we will 

automatically place you in an RW1 class. Due to an 

increase in the enrollment, we have created four 

sections this summer. Professor Robin Reisig’s 

class will meet on Monday and Wednesday evenings 

from 7 to 9:45 p.m. Professor Ari Goldman’s class 

will meet Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 

9 p.m. Professor Sam Freedman will be teaching 

on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (5:30 to 8 p.m. 

on Tuesday and 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday). 

Professor Addie Rimmer’s class meets on Saturdays 

from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. 

Start of Classes 

Classes begin the week of Memorial Day. Please 

note that if you are in Prof. Reisig’s Monday and 

Wednesday class, you will meet on Tuesday and 

Wednesday (that week only) to accommodate the 

holiday. If you’re in Prof. Rimmer’s Saturday class, 

your first class will be held on Saturday, May 30. 

Additional Digital Media Training 

As part of your experience in RW1, you will receive 

additional training in digital media during the first 

several weeks of the summer term. The training 

will require students to be on campus for additional 

hours beyond their regular class time. The addition 

of a fourth section of RW1 has changed the digital 

media schedule slightly. Please let me know as soon 

as possible if you are not able to attend some or all 

of these training sessions. The training will take 

place as follows: 

Prof. Reisig 

May 26 Tuesday 7 to 10 p.m. 

Room 607C (audio1) 

May 27 Wednesday 7 to 10 p.m. 


June 2 Tuesday 7 to 10 p.m.

Summer Equipment Room Hours 

You will be using equipment for digital media, 

including cameras and recorders. Please make 

note of the summer hours of the Equipment Room 

(Room 507). Starting Tuesday, May 26, the room 

will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday 

through Friday and closed Saturday and Sunday. 

The room will also be closed on Saturday, May 16, 

Saturday, May 23 and Monday, May 25. You will 

be responsible for checking out the equipment in 

advance of each training session. Please contact 

Craig Hettich (212.854.9126) with any questions. 

Taking Other Classes 

Part-time students often ask if they can take 

additional classes at the same time they are taking 

RW1. While it is not forbidden, we do not encourage 

this because RW1 is an intense and demanding 

experience, and most part-timers find it best to 

focus their energy on this first course. However, if 

you feel your schedule will allow for an additional 

class, we do offer two 3-credit electives (Narrative 

Writing and Digital Newsroom for Non-Digital 

Concentration Students). In addition, Journalism, 

the Law and Society, a 2-credit class, will be taught 

this summer as well as a five-week (1-credit) video 

skills class. If you’re considering signing up for an 

additional class, please get in touch with me as soon 

as possible. 

Accelerating 

Students also frequently ask if they can begin 

their studies in the summer and then accelerate 

to graduate the following May. The answer to that 

question is yes, as long as you have the time to take 

several classes in both the fall and spring semesters. 

However, once you reach 12 credits, you will be 

billed a flat rate, as opposed to a per-point rate. If 

you are considering doing this, please make sure 

you’ve first talked to me or Associate Dean Melanie 

Huff. 

E-Mail 

Once your $1,000 electronic deposit has been 

received, your UNI (which also serves as your 

Columbia e-mail address) is generated. Please 

allow a couple of days for your information to be 

updated into the system. 

Go to the link below to look up and activate your 

e-mail: 

http://www.columbia.edu/cu/studentservices/ 

newstudents/docs/Activate_Uni/index.html 

If you want these e-mails to go to another address, 

you can set up your Columbia account to forward 

your mail electronically. We’ll also add you to the 

student listserv so that you will receive all of our 

updates, including information on the many special 

events occurring at the school. Meanwhile, you can 


keep tabs on what’s going on via the Daily Plan-It 

blog, published by the Dean of Students office. It 

can be accessed at http://deanstudents.blogsome. 

com/. In addition, please visit the Web page for 

new students at http://snurl.com/newstudent. It 

includes a checklist of items you need to do to get 

started. 

Tuition 

Your tuition bills are issued by and paid directly 

to the university, not the journalism school. The 

university will send you an electronic statement 

at the beginning of each semester. You can also 

access it through the Student Services Online link 

on the university’s Web site. There is no need to 

worry if you have not yet received a tuition bill. 

The University will be emailing the first summer 

statement on Monday, June 1, with the first 

payment due on Thursday, June 18. Information 

on payment options, plus access to your online 

account, can be found here: http://www.columbia. 

edu/cu/sfs/docs/billing/payment-options.html 

Technology 

You can expect to use both a digital camera and 

a digital tape recorder while reporting stories for 

class and for our main student Web site, http:// 

columbiajournalist.org/. We have this equipment 

on hand, so it is not mandatory for you to purchase 

your own. However, some students wish to do so. 

If you are considering this, please take a look at 

our technology guide for incoming students, where 

you’ll find suggestions for affordable equipment 

that interfaces smoothly with the rest of our 

technology. The guide, which will be updated at the 

end of May, also discusses computers and laptops. 

Here is the link: http://www.journalism.columbia. 

edu/techguide 

Academic Calendar 

The Dean of Students blog also provides links to 

the J-School’s online event calendars, which can 

be viewed online or uploaded to your own Google 

calendars. The link above can help you access 

(and import) the J-School’s academic calendar, 

the J-School’s master student calendar, which is 

always updated with information about events by 

the Office of Student Affairs, as well as a calendar 

published by the Columbia chapter of the Society 

of Professional Journalists, the school’s student 

government. 

If you have any other questions, please feel free to 

contact me at mec9@columbia.edu or 212-854- 

1124. Please let me know if you’d like to drop by my 

office, 101K, which is located on the first floor of the 

building, one floor beneath the ground floor. I look 

forward to welcoming you in person on May 22.

NEW STUDENT CHECKLIST 

IMPORTANT: In order to get your Columbia 

University ID card or to purchase a J-School 

Press Pass, you will need to take a high 

resolution digital passport-style photo as 

soon as possible. 

• The photo should be a color, JPEG file. 

• The background should be uniform and 

lightly-colored. 

• You must be facing forward, with your head 

and shoulders clearly visible. 

• No photos with sunglasses or hats 

• The file cannot exceed 100k in size. 

• Use any type of digital camera to take your 

photo. 

1. Activate your Columbia e-mail address: 

Your UNI (University Network ID) is the log- in 

name and password you will use to access many 

online services at Columbia. Your UNI is also 

the first part of your official Columbia e-mail 

address. To activate your UNI, visit http:// 

uni.columbia.edu and select “Activate a New 

UNI Account.” Then follow the on-screen 

instructions. 

Once you have successfully activated your UNI, 

you will be able to access Columbia’s secure 

online applications, including Student Services

resources and much more. 

Check Your E-mail Regularly 

Your UNI is also the first part of your Columbia 

e-mail address: UNI@columbia.edu. Visit the 

CUIT e-mail page at http://www.columbia. 

edu/acis/email for ways to check your e-mail. 

2. Get your Columbia University ID: CUIT 

has developed a secure Web service for students 

to upload and submit a photo online for their 

first University ID card. The service is launching 

May 18 and will be available for new students 

preparing to enter Columbia in Fall 2009. The 

deadline for part-timers to submit their 

photo is May 20. If you submit it after May 

20, you will have to personally go to the ID 

Center (Kent Hall room 204) to get your CUID. 

For more information about the process and to 

submit your photo click here. You will receive 

your University ID card during your student 

orientation.

fellow classmates. Students are approved to 

join this group once we have received both your 

enrollment confirmation and your enrollment 

deposit. 

YOUR PERSONAL 

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PID) 

You have been assigned a unique personal ID 

number that will be used around campus to identify 

you as a Columbia University student. This is your 

Student Identification Number or what we call your 

“PID ”. 

It is a 10-digit ID number that begins with the 

letter “C”. You can view your PID by logging on 

to Student Services Online (SSOL) at https://ssol. 

columbia.edu/ 

Please keep this number handy. In the future, you 

will need to reference this number on all Columbia 

University documents (like registration, loans, 

etc.)

BUILDING MANAGEMENT 

INFORMATION 

Security 

Keep your ID card separate from your house keys. 

A lost or misplaced ID card can be easily replaced. 

A lost set of keys is nearly impossible to identify. 

However, if you lose both items together, a risk 

presents itself. 

If you lose your ID card, please report it to Security 

as soon as possible so the card can be cancelled. 

This should also be reported to building operations 

so we may follow up with the Security Office. The 

Journalism School is your academic and personal 

environment. We prefer to keep it as safe and as 

friendly as possible. 

You must always have your ID and Press Pass on 

you when in the Journalism building. Your CUID 

is the only means of accessing floors throughout 

the building. The Press Pass is the only means 

of confirming you are a J-School student. ID 

verification will be requested of you, on occasion, 

by staff and security. 

Support 

Please try to use these support routes as often as 

possible. 

To request assistance or to report a problem to 

Technical Support, Audio/Visual Support, 

or Building Operations/Environmental 

Support, please type “help” in your Web browser, 

log in, and follow the prompts. You can also 

go to: http://help.jrn.columbia.edu/helpdesk/ 

WebObjects/Helpdesk 

What gets reported to Building Operations/ 

Environmental Support? If lights are out in 

the area of the building you are in; if you need 

access to a locked door in the building; if you have 

a security problem; if you have lost your ID; if your 

ID has been stolen; if there is a problem with any 

of the bathroom facilities: in other words, anything 

pertaining to the building and your access to it. 


Lockers 

To sign up for a locker, please contact Derek 

Gano, building coordinator, room 104, dg2382@ 

columbia.edu. You must provide your own lock. 

Please do not swap lockers with someone else. 

In the event that you lose the key or forget the 

combination, we can only assist you if the assigned 

numbers match up. (We will also request to see 

your CUID for proof.) 

Mailboxes 

Personal student mailboxes are located on the 1 st 

floor of the building. Please remember to put your 

name on all work you submit to the faculty, as well 

as the faculty member’s name. 

If for any reason a mailbox with your name does not 

exist, please let us know right away via the building 

ticket system request. 

Fax Services 

The only fax machine available for student use is 

located in Printing Services (room 106 Journalism) 

for a minimal fee. Printing Services maintains 

regular business hours. 

Submitting Your Work 

Most often, students need to drop off their work 

in a faculty member’s mailbox. You can find their 

mailbox in the mailroom, room 104. If you can’t 

find it or need assistance please contact Thaddeus 

Craddock or Derek Gano, building coordinator. 

Reminder: Always include your name and the 

name of the faculty member on each page of the 

work you submit. 

Lost and Found 

Unfortunately, most items lost within the J-School 

are never found. This includes clothing, wallets, 

laptops, bags, jewelry, cell phones, eyeglasses, etc. 

Please do not leave your valuables unattended for 

even the briefest length of time. 

Items that are recovered are usually dropped into 

the Lost and Found bin in room 104. Items of 

obvious value may be locked in an office; if this is 

the case, an e-mail will be circulated to the student 

body. 

Help?

STUDENT GOVERNMENT 

The student government of the Journalism School 

is run through the University chapter of the Society 

of Professional Journalists, the world’s largest 

journalism organization. An elected board of 

student officers organizes events throughout the 

school year with the active participation of the 

student body. Events include parties, field trips, 

panels and community service projects. 

In addition, the board serves as the official liaison 

to the faculty on student matters. For more 

information about extracurricular activities or to 

contact current students, e-mail spj@columbia.

OFFICE OF CAREER SERVICES 

OVERVIEW 

Welcome! The Office of Career Services, in 

conjunction with the faculty, alumni and others, 

assists students in their job searches and career 

planning. Efforts range from informational 

workshops and panels, individual counseling, 

interaction with graduates and teaching of the 

skills needed to navigate through the job search in 

all media in journalism. 

Here’s what is offered by the Office of Career 

Services: 

Individual Counseling 

The Career Services staff meets with students 

one-on-one to hone cover letters, rèsumès and 

general career planning and strategies. Students 

may request additional services, such as mock 

interviews and names of contacts at specific media 

companies to which they are sending applications. 

Appointments are set up via e-mail with the assistant 

dean, associate director or assistant director. Dean 

Sotomayor specializes in online and newspaper 

careers; Hartenstein specializes in broadcast 

media and online positions; Boubion specializes in 

magazine, alternative weekly and online positions. 

Prior to meeting, you first need to study the rèsumè 

guidelines on the Career Services Web site, get your 

rèsumè down to one page in length and make sure 

it is up to date. Then fill out a brief informational 

survey and submit your rèsumè via the link on the 

homepage of our Web site. 

On the Web 

The Career Services home page, www.journalism. 

columbia.edu/careers, provides many resources 

to assist you in your job hunt. Our portal brings

Students and alumni receive frequent e-mails with 

important updates about upcoming internship and 

fellowship opportunities, application deadlines, 

seminars, workshops, speaker events, tips on job 

openings, invitations to outside journalism events 

and other career news, etc. 

Career Workshops 

We hold dozens of sessions throughout the year 

on topics such as freelancing, preparing for 

internships, finding specialty jobs such as business 

reporting, networking, landing your first job in print 

or broadcasting, developing online media skills 

and other topics. Guests range from top executives 

to recent J-school graduates, working domestically 

and abroad, who share their experiences and 

guidance as you launch your careers. Editors, 

producers and recruiters frequently come to 

campus to interview students for summer positions. 

Professional Networking 

Career Services arranges several notable 

opportunities every year where students can meet 

and speak with distinguished guests invited to 

lecture or participate in the prestigious journalism 

prizes awarded by the School. 

• Members of the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism 

nominating juries meet with students in 

small groups for informal dialogues. Editors 

talk about their publications and projects 

they’ve published or judged, and answer your 

questions on journalism, trends, jobs and 

more. 

• The annual Delacorte Lecture series provides 

students with access to the top names in the 

magazine publishing world, with discussion 

on key issues of the day as well as advice on 

launching and navigating a career. 

• Winners of the Cabot Prize for reporting on 

Latin America meet in October with students 

to discuss foreign reporting from Latin 

America. Joining them often are past winners 

and many other fellow journalists who can 

provide valuable insight about reporting from 

abroad. 

• Every January, a panel of winners of the 

DuPont Award, the highest distinction in 

broadcast journalism, meet for a full morning 

with students to discuss their prize-winning 

work and offer tips on careers, story-telling 

and more. 

• Judges from the National Magazine Awards 

also meet with students in small groups to 

discuss how to break into magazines and 

longer form narrative writing.

ERGONOMICS AND 

COMPUTER USE 

Ergonomic problems can be caused by incorrect 

posture, glare, poor workstation set-up, incorrect 

wrist position, and the lack of stretching or 

exercising. Just a few basic changes in the 

way you work or the space in which you work 

can make a big difference to your comfort. 

Posture 

Good posture is essential. Keep your head directly 

over your shoulders without straining forward or 

backward. Keep your elbows relaxed, at about right 

angles. 

Important internet resources 

Ergonomics important when using laptops 

Tamara James at Duke Occupational and 

Environmental Safety’s ergonomics division 

talks about pains that can result from improperly 

set-up laptops and workspaces, and offers tips 

for smarter use. http://www.youtube.com/ 

watch?v=R5IazQ2ahyw 

Safe Computing Tips 

This site is designed to help you be more 

comfortable and productive while using your 

computer. It will also help you reduce your risk 

of experiencing painful and disabling injuries or 

disorders, such as CTS, RSI and MSD. http:// 

www.safecomputingtips.com/ 

Keyboard 

Adjust your keyboard height so that when you 

are typing your upper arm and forearm make a 

right angle. While typing, keep your wrists in a 

flat or neutral position, not flexed or bent. Use a 

wrist rest for added comfort. Type lightly to avoid 

wrist discomfort and to prolong the life of your 

keyboard. 

Chair 

WORKSTATION SET-UP 


Adjust your seat height so your thighs are relatively 

horizontal and your feet are firmly on the floor or a 

footrest. Adjust your seat back so it provides lower 

back support and comfort. Make sure you have 

ample leg room and work space so that your legs 

and knees are not bumping into your desk or other 

furniture. 

Screen 

Shades 

Adjust window shades or blinds to reduce glare on 

your monitor screen. 

Dust 

Use monitor screen cleaner and a lint-free cloth to 

remove dust and improve visual clarity. The supply 

room stocks recommended screen cleaner and 

cloths. 

BREAKS/EXERCISES 

Stretch Breaks 

When working for long periods at a terminal, take 

a moment to refocus your eyes by looking away 

from your monitor and focusing on something in 

the distance. Briefly stand up and stretch, limber 

up your arms, neck, shoulders and legs. Rub your 

hands together, massage your palms. Clench fists 

and release. 

Adjust your monitor so that the top of the screen 

is at about eye-level. A slightly lower level may 

be needed if you wear bifocals. Keep your eyes 

about 18-26” from screen to avoid eyestrain. 

Use a copy stand (document holder) to keep 

papers at about the same height and angle as 

your screen to avoid neck and shoulder strain. 

LIGHTS/GLARE 

Glare 

Make a slight adjustment to the position or tilt of 

your monitor to reduce reflections on the screen. 

Adjust screen brightness and contrast if needed. If 

you still have glare, try using a glare screen. 

Lamps 

Individual desk lamps may be needed to illuminate 

the materials with which you are working. Be sure 

the placement of your lamp doesn’t create glare or 

reflections on your screen. 

Exercises 

Some departments have short (10-minute) exercise 

breaks every 10 to 20 minutes. Exercise frequently. 

Visit the gym. Take walks or jog.
