As president of Hofstras Student Government Association and

NAACP chapter, Sean Hutchinson was a busy man on campus,

but off campus, he was even more in demand. During internships

with MTV, CBS-TV and Macys, he organized events,

designed websites and implemented marketing strategies.

With experiences like that, Sean was ready for the job market.

Name-Dropping U

By AnnA SAnderS

At the citys most prestigious uni-versities, money isnt the onlyway to leave a legacy. Just take astroll through New York Univer-sitys Greenwich Village campus

and youll be surrounded by powerulnames. The new Gould Plaza, the CourantInstitute o Mathematical Sciences and the

Jack H. Skirball Center or the Perorm-ing Arts are each named ater universitybeneactors. This name-dropping trendgoes beyond NYU, many institutions in thecity name programs, rooms, and schools tohonor generous endowments and support.

The STern School of

BuSineSS aT nYuThe Stern School o Business at New York

University was established in 1900 as theNYU School o Commerce, Accounts andFinance. But ater a generous donation o

$30 million, it was named ater LeonardN. Stern, alumnus o the undergraduatecollege, class o 57, and the M BA program,class o 59. That git was the impetus ormoving the MBA program rom its TrinityPlace location near Wall Street to thecampus at Washington Square, eectivelyuniting in one location the UndergraduateCollege and the graduate school, saidJoanne Hvala, associate dean o marketing

and external relations at Stern.

eing a ashionacionado isnt

just about know-ing the dierence

between green andchartreusealthough thathelps. The real dierencebetween the tastemakersand ashophiles is that theormer would rather workat Barneys and the latterwould rather shop there. OK:theyd probably preer to dobothbut still, those at thecusp o the next big thing areound behind the scenes, notstrutting their stu in ront.

Enter Aimee Cheshireand Bianca Caampued. Ms.Cheshire is the co-ounder

o Madison Plus. The onlinemarketplace is a one-stopshop or the latest trendsand brands or plus sizewomen. Ms. Caampued is co-ounder oSmall Girls PR. The tiny New York PRrm is known or representing somebig brand names. What do these twoladies have in common? A tiny piece opaper rom LIM College, the LaboratoryInstitute o Merchandising that is.

A LIM diploma is more than a degreein ashion; its the ticket to transormingyour impeccable sense o culture andstyle rom a hobby into a career.

When I was in h igh school I hadactually wa nted to go into science, thenone day in my AP Chemistry class I wasreading Lucky Magazine and I turnedto my riend and sa id I want to workhere one day. Ms. Caampued told TheObserver. At that point I had realizedthat science was more o a hobby andashion, which I thought was a hobby,could be something that I could reallyturn into a career. I knew I wanted tolearn the business side o ashion a ndsomehow, as i it were ate, I happened toget a brochure in the mail about LIM: TheCollege or the Business o Fashion. Itwas the only school I applied to and the

rest was history, she continued. TheLIM alum ni made the right choice.

The college, which oers both graduateand undergraduate degrees in FashionMerchandising, Visual Merchandising,Marketing and Management, along witha Masters in Business Administration,gave Ms. Caampued the know-how to runher own business. One o the great thingsabout LIM are the required internshipsand work projects. Would I have everworked retail had they not required it,Freshman year? Im not sure. But theyreright when they tell you, you need toexperience that i youre going to learn

about the ashion business, and Im gladthat I did it. Its the direct link rom thebrand to the consumer, she says.

Small Girls PR has seen wide successsince its ounding in 2010. With clientsthat range rom ash ion marketplaceDesignerSocial to tech start-upBNTER, Ms. Caampued, along withco-ounder Mallory Blair, have becomeknown in the New York media sceneor throwing some serious partiesand having some kooky ideas.

We came up with the idea o wearinga prom dress everyday or 30 days oronline retailer Tiza.com, in which weliveblogged our experience to buildbuzz. We got so much attention rompublications like Glamour, Elle Girl,and The NY Post, Ms. Caampued said.Small Girls success is no shock, theMid-town based college is known orproducing some pretty talented alumni.LIM graduates have gone onto work orLiz Claiborne, Yves Saint Laurent, Coachand Ralph Lauren. The rest end up likeAimee Cheshire, who, instead o workingto bring someone elses vision o ashioninto ruition, decided to pursue her own.

LIM was my rst introduction into theNYC ashion world. Coming rom Virginia,all I knew was that I wanted to be involved

with plus size ashion. ButI had little understandingo the workings o theindustry, Ms. Cheshire told

The Observer. The MadisonPlus owner and co-ounderoresaw a ashion landscapewhere luxury style wasntonly accessible to thosewith a size 2 waistl ine. Thesmaller environment was keyto allowing me to eel likeI could participate in classand all the proessors wereeasily accessible and had ullresume o experience in theindustry. I remember taking[the course] SpecializedMarkets, which ocusedon all the niche markets in

the ashion industry. Thatwas a class that really hita sweet spot with me andnow specialized markets

is where I am m aking my career, shesaid. And Ms. Cheshires career is goingquite well. Madison Plus was oundedin 2009 and already its a notablename in the plus sized industry.

Ive been lucky to have had muchsuccess with Madison Plus, ranging rommentions on Entertainment Tonight, TheToday Show, hosting a style segment orplus sized ashion on WPix11, to mostrecently being mentioned as Best O Web

or both Instyle magazine and Essencemagazine. All o these are great momentsthat help expose the plus sized industryand Madison Plus, Ms. Cheshire boasted.

Its pretty gutsy or these two graduatesto go o and start their own business,although LIM had a 100% placement rate in2009 or those graduating w ith Associatesdegrees and 95% or those parting with aBachelors. The comprehensive educationis what pushed Ms. Cheshire to take therisk. LIM a llowed me to understand thenuts and bolts o ashion, the industrybehind the glam. I let with a well-roundedunderstanding o all the aspects o whatgoes into the ashion business. All o those

experiences help me daily with MadisonPlus, when youre a smal l businessowner you have to manage all a spectso your business, Ms. Cheshire said.

These LIM alumni have taken agreat, big gamble and are thrivingin an industry where many ail. Withthe help rom one innovative ashionschool in Mid-town, Ms. Caampuedsays, LIM gave me the education andexperience that I needed to give mecondenceand to back up such a ballsymove as startin g your own company.

Have you been eeling nostalgicor your music appreciationcourses? Perhaps youre ready todust o that old trombone sittingin the closet? Never ear, in New

York City, a classical perormance educa-tion neednt come to an end... even when theat lady sings. From masters programs inopera perormance to continuing educa-tion classes or ballet lovers, New York Cityhigher education oers a wide variety oclassical continuing education and degree-granting perorming arts programs andtheyre anything but a thing o the past.

To the delight o aspiring Wagnerian

Brunhildas, New York oers some othe nest vocal and opera perormancegraduate programs in the country. FromMetropolitan opera superstars to aspiringPovarottis in subway stations, theopportunity to hear classical perormers inNew York is ubiquitous and, ortunately,theres a school or program or everyone.

Since its merge with The New Schoolin 1989, the Mannes College o Music, thecitys smallest conservatory, has trulybecome host to one o the nest classicalmusic programs in the county. Manychoose Mannes or its long-standingreputation as a school that provides

unusually rigorous instruction, rst

rate aculty, and small class size. saysMannes Dean, Richard Kessler. Moreand more, people are looking to Mannesand the unique opportunities it provideshe says. Led by an impressive aculty oseasoned opera veterans such as RuthFalcon and Arthur Levy, the Mannesschool o music vocal program is perhapsthe pearl in the oyster. The operaprogram, led by Joseph Colaneri, putson two major productions a year, whichare presented at the Kaye Playhouse andeature Manness many talented Mastersand Doctoral degree-seeking singers.

For those who would simply like totake lessons or courses, Mannes oers

individual classes through its extensiondivision. Enrolled extension divisionstudents can improve their showersinging skills by taking private voicelessons, or attempt to become the nextMozart by enrolling in one o severalcomposition classes. Both extensiondivision classes and private lessons areoered in the spring and all semesters.

With graduate students outnumberingtheir undergrad counterparts,The Manhattan School o Musicis undoubtedly one o the nestprograms or the continuing study oinstrumental music and opera. Located

on 122 and Broadway, it shares the

serene neighborhood o MorningsideHeights with esteemed universitiesincluding Columbia and Barnard.

Faculty members come rom the citysleading perorming institutions suchas The New York Philharmonic, TheMetropolitan Opera, and the ChamberMusic Society o the Lincoln center,to name a ew. Composer MichaelDougherty and star mezzo-sopranoSusan Graham are among the list onotable alumni who made the most otheir time at The Manhattan School.

MSM oers many perormanceopportunities or its graduate students,rom ully-staged and costumed

opera productions such as last yearsSummer and Smoke by Americancomposer Lee Hoiby. Through a wideoering o masterclasses, MSM oersmany opportunities or graduateand doctoral students to learn romproessionals in the eld. In just a coupleo weeks on November 16th, MSM willbe hosting a violin masterclass withvirtuoso and chair o the OrchestralPerormance Program, Glenn Dicterow.

And lets not orget the time-honoredtradition o dance. The Graduate danceprogram at the Tisch School o the Artstakes the cream o the crop, so to speak,

ith the newschool yearin its ina ncy,reshmenacross New

York are gettin g acquaintedwith their new proessors,those bastions o academiawho will chaperon them ontheir new path o learning.So, who are some o the mostbeloved and revered proes-sors amongst current andpast pupils in New York?

To nd thatout, The Observeroraged throughthe myriad othe amousand renownednames and the

not so amousand renownednames that walkthe halls o NewYorks educationalestablishmentsand compileda little list. It iscollated romspeaking to thepeople who knowthe proessorsbest. The students. In talkingto them a sort o serendipityoccurred, the same names

would crop up again and again.The list glosses over just a

ew o the educators that areinspiring and acilitating thecreative minds o tomorrow.

For longevity no one comesclose to George Stoney, a

proessor o lm studies at theTISCH school in NYU, and nowinto his 96th year, Mr. Stoney issomewhat o a tour de orce inthe lm and televisual realm.His bio is extensive and couldll an entire eature on its own,which makes it crude to singleout any one o his particular

accomplishments,even so, we mayas well still tellyou that his wasa pioneering rolein the creationo Public-access

television and thathe served in WorldWar II as a photointelligence ofcer.

His studentsare more thanhappy to gushabout him. He is

just an amazingperson, he is soactive and in his90s, said one past

pupil. It wouldnt be rare tosee him out at screenings andhe is always willing to watch

student rough cuts, always,always has time. she added.

Another past pupil, nowworking in the industry,thought the open and cordialapproach he adopted wassynonymous with his role

as documentary maker. Heloves to document, to be adocumentarian you mustlove people, and he does.The same person told mehow Mr. Stoney helped outone o his riends, who didnteven attend NYU, with someinvaluable eedback. Under thecircumstance, the appeal wasmade with much trepidation,but Proessor Stoney was awilling participant and hishelpul contribution actuallyinstigated a longer, regularcorrespondence between

the two, who never met.Dominika Laster is another

at NYU who evokes admirationrom her students, the Polishborn Perormance StudiesProessor certainly keepshersel busy, nding the timeto also Lecture in TheatreStudies at Yale. She receivedthe Monroe Lippman MemorialPrize or her doctoratedissertation on theatredirector Jerzy Grotowski.

One past student explainedto The Observer that his

ondness o her classwas down to the ocus ondiscussion, and listening towhat everyone in the classhad to say. He explained,She tended to steer urtherintellectually than I wanted

to go a lot o the time, but indoing so she made us thinkabout subjective and abstractconcepts that we may not opreviously touched upon.

Her interest in avant-gardeperormance art transcendedto the classroom too and shewasnt araid to challengemodern teaching modes. Hereminisced o one time inparticular, whilst trying toconvey the pitalls that canoccur in communication,she turned o all the lightsand made everyone lay on

their backs. Minus the aido visual clues, the studentsreally had to concentrate onwhat the speaker was saying,orm their own opinion andanticipate a gap in conversationthat would allow them to

join in, or conversely, yieldto the group when theydspoken long enough.

She scores high onapproachability too. Evennow I eel like I could emailher at any point, beore headded when semester was

over she sent us a very nice email aboutwanting to know o our uture projects,shes very interested in our proessionaldevelopment outside o the classroom.

The next person on our list is the SeniorLecturer in English at Barnard College,

Margaret Vandenburg, her scholarlywork is mainly based on Modernism,Postmodernism and American Literature.She has contributed a number o timesto journals, on a variety o Modernisttopics, and has written a historicalnovel An American in Paris.

The reoccurring theme that emergedater speaking to Ms. Vandenburgsstudents was her ability to draw you in.She makes things that we talk aboutso much more than just books, and justpoems, and just essays, one studenteagerly told me. Something clicked orme when in her class she trails o or a

second, then adds writing and literatureis really about humanity and existence,that came to me through her way otying it into so many items she added.

To those that know her, she is a mentor,

motivator and an elevator o minds. In anemail sent to The Observer a past pupileulogized I was thinking at my highestlevel in Proessor Vandenburgs classes.Her unyielding belie in the individual,inspirational lectures and ability tocoalesce seemingly disparate topicsmakes her stand out rom the crowd.

In no other course have I addressedprinciples o Eastern theology,homoeroticism, capitalist economics,Barack Obama, signication, binarysystems, emancipation, and syntaxall within the discussion o a close

reading passage. The email read.In line with every other Proessormentioned above, amongst some oYemane Demissies greatest qualities ishis level o caring, and being on hand to

help. Proessor Demissie teaches lm andtelevision production, and writing studiesin NYUs Institute o Film and Television.

One student oozed No matter how bigor small the project, Yemane made himselavailable (in person, on the phone and even

Skype) to brainstorm, revise and perecthis students stories. He has directed threeeature length lms writing two o them and beore moving to New York he taught inUSC and UCLA. He demanded the same levelo commitment and high standards romhis students that he demands o himsel.Which is tough going, but do it most othem did, and happy they were. Insteado resenting him or being so hard on me,I remember wanting to do my absolutebest so that Yemane would be proud ome. One ex-student told The Observer.

In education the stakes are high, thewriter Kurt Vonnegut once said give

me knowledge or give me death, and tostudents it is clear to see that academicintellect is important and great, butproessors who will stay in the mindorever are the ones who show humanity.

Center for Hering

n CommunictionExpertise in the Evaluation and

Treatment o APD The term auditory

processing disorder (APD) describes

what happens when sound is not

interpreted properly. The child hears

typically, but as sound moves rom

the ear to the brain there is a delay o

the signal. APD brings challenges to

everyday listening tasks and hinders

development o language skills.

Children with APD can experience

rustration, social isolation, and

insecurity. But these daily struggles

are both common and treatable. Signs

o APD oten appear at a young age,

when a childs attention span and basic

language skills might not be on par with

other children. Signs to look or include:

- Has difculty ollowing instructions

and conversations - Struggles hearing

in noisy environments - Constantly says

what? or huh? - Seems distracted or

inattentive - Has difculty learning to

read - Mishears words - Has difculty

and support children need to tackle
