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. What sort of responses have you gotten from SAIC staff and students
since you've decided to move?
   
A. I have been amazed by the emails, so much outpouring of love and appreciation for me and also for Jana and all the School has been able to accomplish. I never imagined anything like this. I thought I'd get anger or anxiety, but I've gotten so much love and so many testimonials and thanks to for things I've done, we've done together to build the School. I could never have imagined it, did not ever imagine it. It has made me cry quite a bit. I'm very moved and emotional about it all.
