 Becker will be moving on to head the Columbia University's School of the Arts in New York City in the fall. She corresponded with F News via email from Rome about her new position, what she'll miss about SAIC, and what Chicago needs to do to become a great art city.

| Q. |
How will your new job be different from your old job? |
| |
|
| A. |
The scope of the School of the Arts at Columbia is smaller. It's
primarily a graduate program, so the scope of what I am responsible
for will be smaller. Also, at SAIC the infrastructures are smaller,
so we all end up doing an awful lot, at Columbia there is a larger
group of people to look to for all the complexities that we manage
for SAIC with a very small Office of the Deans.
And of course, the hope of Columbia is that the School of the Arts
will become the preeminent School in New York. This will take some
time. |
