Founded in May 2002, Columbia Artist/Teachers (CA/T) provides MFA teachers with training and teaching opportunities on- and off-campus, with students of all ages and levels.
We collaborate with local schools and various community organizations in New York to establish no-cost arts education programs designed specifically to the needs and goals of the institutions. These writing workshops and seminars—which present the opportunity for an educational artistic outlet, developing literary talents—encourage sharing, discussion, critical thinking, and creative expression.
Our instructors are experienced, dedicated, and passionate about teaching writing and the arts. CA/T is advised by Professors Alan Ziegler (Writing MFA Program Director of Pedagogy) and Dorothea Lasky (Writing BA Program Director). The organization is run by student directors and coordinators.
