FELLOWSHIP: FASPE Summer Fellowship

Fellowship Programs, M.A. Program, M.S. Program, Part-time Students

FASPE (Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics), in collaboration with The Museum of Jewish Heritage—A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, is now accepting applications for a fellowship that uses the conduct of journalists during the Holocaust and in Nazi Germany as a launching point for an intensive two-week summer program on contemporary journalism ethics.  Fellowships include an all-expenses-paid trip from New York to Berlin, Krakow, and Oświęcim (Auschwitz) where students work with leading faculty to explore both journalism history and the ethical issues facing working journalists today.  All program costs, including international and European travel, lodging, and food, are covered.

The 2015 FASPE Journalism program will run from May 24 to June 4.  To be eligible applicants must either (1) be enrolled in a graduate program or (2) be working journalists who completed their undergraduate degrees between June 2010 and June 2014.

Completed applications must be received by January 6, 2015.  All FASPE programs are non-denominational and candidates of all religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

MEMO: Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

Major memos, Notes From

From: Suzanne B. Goldberg

Special Advisor to President Bollinger on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response

In recent weeks and months, Columbia University has taken extensive steps to strengthen our response to all forms of gender-based misconduct, including sexual assault. Building on comments and suggestions from students throughout the past academic year, as well as the ideas of faculty, administrators and staff, new initiatives have been launched and existing programs and resources have been strengthened, all with the aim of creating an environment where students and other community members can flourish free from gender-based misconduct, including sexual violence.

These issues are much-discussed both throughout the University (including within Barnard College and Teachers College) and across the country. Because this discussion is important for informing and engaging the community, I offer this commentary, in my role as Special Advisor to President Bollinger on Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, to highlight some of the recent changes, to identify some of what’s to come in the academic year, and to talk about some ways that interested students can get involved.
