The Film & Education Research Academy (FERA) is a research, publishing and teaching program within the Center for Educational Outreach & Innovation (CEO&I) at Teachers College, Columbia University. Founded by Kelvin Sealey and John Broughton, our mission at FERA is to explore the unexamined pedagogical nexus of cinema, teaching and learning. It is our belief that the psychological weight of cinematic content, and the powerful visual vocabulary at its center, can become a powerful counterbalance to the numbing tendencies of media stimulus if educators are taught the value of converting cinematic product into opportunities to advance critical ideas, making cinema a tool of learning rather than merely a vehicle for escapism. And as a catalyst for social justice, we believe that film offers unrecognized opportunities for imparting ideas of socially concerned citizenship in a world

Are YOU Ready-2-Improv? The ladies and gentlemen of Fruit Paunch. Columbia's longest-running and most prestigious comedy improv troupe, live by this mantra--and they let their enthusiasm and talent for their craft take them all over New York City, where they regularly perform everywhere from Caroline’s On Broadway to CU's very own Furnald Lounge. Some of the Paunch's favorite annual events include their Formal Show in the Black Box, the bi-annual West End show, and their most daunting event of the year, The 24 Hour Show. Fruit Paunch rehearses a healthy mix of short form and long form twice a week, and auditions for the group are held at the beginning of every school year. Must audition to join.
