Volunteer with Creative Time

Creative Time is excited to present Living As Form, an unprecedented, international project exploring over twenty years of cultural works that blurs the forms of art and everyday life, emphasizing participation, dialogue, and community engagement.

Dedicated and energetic volunteers are needed to staff the busy hub of the project: the Historic Essex Street Market – 15,000 square feet featuring over 100 artists located at the southeast intersection of Essex and Delancey Streets. Here, visitors will have the opportunity to view a collection of socially engaged art projects and actions from around the globe, as well as experience a series of new events and performances produced specifically for this exhibition.

As a Creative Time volunteer at the Living As Form exhibition you will:

• Engage a diverse and vibrant audience in the practical and theoretical concerns of the project.
• Be a point person within the space monitoring the exhibition and related events.
• Meet artists, curators, Creative Time staff, and tons of other volunteers.
• Spend time amongst the hustle and bustle of the Historic Essex Street Market and Living as Form Exhibition with the awesome Creative Time crew.
• Receive a copy of a Creative Time publication

Volunteers will also assist with light set-up and clean up of the exhibition space at the beginning and end of shifts. Exhibition hours are 12-8pm, Thursdays – Sundays from September 24th through October 16th.

Creative Time would appreciate help also with any of the following shifts for the remainder of the run of the show. As the show continues, the exhibition continues to grow and shift, with more events and collaborations being added each day!

• Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays
• 11am - 4pm or 4pm - 9pm
• October 6 - 9 or October 13 - 16

If you’d like to attend, please email dsonyu@gmail.com with a description of what you’d like to discuss at the forum (the topic of a paper, an idea you’re wrestling with in hopes of formulating a thesis, a piece of writing you think could use a peer edit etc.) These topics will be collected and compiled by the Forum moderator, in the interest of promoting quality feedback, and helping to connect students with similar academic interests.

Pizza lunch will be provided for this first Forum! Please bring a drink or anything else you’d like to eat. Forums will be a bi-weekly event.

Draper Conference, November 18^th, time and location TBA, keep your eyes peeled for a call for presenters.

Academic Advising and Registration for the Spring 2012 Semester

It may only be October, but we're already looking ahead to the spring 2012 semester. Registration on Albert for the spring term will begin on Monday, November 14, 2011. Spring classes will be available in Albert's Course Search beginning the week of October 17, 2011. Please remember that most departments in GSAS have earlier registration than Draper does, so if you plan to register for non-Draper classes, you will be able to start making those arrangements before you complete your Draper advising and registration.

Draper's preliminary spring 2012 course schedule will be available on our website within the next couple weeks. These listings will be updated regularly with new crosslists and information.

Draper's spring 2012 academic advising period will be held in two separate sessions. The first academic advising session will begin on Thursday, November 10th and end on Wednesday, November 23rd. Any students who are unable to come in for advising during this session will have the opportunity to do so on January 9th and 10th. No advising appointments will be held in December.

Draper will begin scheduling advising appointments on Tuesday, October 25th. To schedule your appointment, please call 212.998.8070 on or after October 25. No advising appointments will be scheduled before that day.

All students who will be enrolling in courses in the spring must have an advising appointment prior to the start of the semester.
