Fourth Computer

I am glad to announce that we will soon have a fourth computer in the Green Room, the student lounge of the Theatre PhD program.

DTSA has been trying to secure a fourth computer since late Spring 2009. Thanks to the efforts of our Assistant Program Officer, Lynette Gybson, and to the kindness and understanding of director of Information Technology User Services, Elaine Montilla, this will soon be a reality.

We are aware it will be a bit tight (one of the four computers will have to stay in the same cubicle where the printer is), but we hope that this addition will improve our academic life. We hope to see this happening next week.

Boris Daussà-Pastor, DTSA President

  • September 14, 2009 – The Green Room, student contributions for the upcoming issue

As this year’s editor of The Green Room, our DTSA newsletter, I’d like to get out a short “end of the summer” issue. What I would like to know from you—BRIEFLY—is what you’ve been up to for the past 3-4 months.  I hope that this will help us all to catch up with anyone that we didn’t get to see or speak with at the department party at the beginning of the semester. Please get me the information by Monday, September 14th.

We posted 20 student bios so far.Check them at http://opencuny.org/dtsa/networking/student-bios

Our PhD program has currently 79 matriculated students and we are often unaware of each other’s achievements, interests, and fields of study. The student bio section serves as a platform for forging alliances. I encourage you to send your student bio and picture ASAP to jheissan@gc.cuny.edu
