Columbia Artist/Teachers (CA/T)

Who We Are

Founded in May 2002, Columbia Artist/Teachers (CA/T) is a faculty of Writing Program MFA candidates.

CA/T provides MFA students with training and teaching opportunities on and off campus, with students of all ages and levels. We work with local schools, community organizations, and Columbia students.

CA/Ts enhance their own understanding of writing and literature while gaining experience that will serve them in obtaining—and excelling in—post-MFA teaching positions.

CA/Ts are encouraged to design curriculum and develop programs that support their aspirations as arts educators.

CA/T is advised by Professor Alan Ziegler, the Writing Program’s Director of Pedagogy.
