The following e-mail just went out to the families of CC students. We’re still waiting on a statement from Moody-Adams herself, which is starting to seem a bit overdue. The Office of the Dean declined to comment.
Dear Columbia College Families,
As many of you have doubtless read in the news [that’s us], Michele Moody-Adams, who has served as Dean of Columbia College and Vice President for Undergraduate Education for the last two years, announced her resignation. President Bollinger concluded yesterday that it was in the best interests of the College that this be effective immediately so that an interim dean can be appointed for the new academic year.
As we continue our work in enhancing student life here at Columbia, we are committed to ensuring that this administrative transition in no way affects our student-centered initiatives and academic life. The senior leadership of the College and the University are working together to ensure a smooth transition. Please see the message, attached below, that was sent last evening to all Columbia College students.
My staff and I look forward to working with our students and families during the 2011-2012 academic year.
Sincerely,
Kevin Shollenberger

@Anonymous Didn’t realize Ke$ho has been around since 1999.
@Silly bwog by “in the news” he probably means the new york times!
@Anonymous which messed up by calling Columbia College the ‘undergraduate division of Columbia University’. wait till they find out about Engineering or GS…
@Also... Shouldn’t the nickname be KeSho ?
@Anonymous His nickname was Ke$ho…V117
@Anonymous while I have little doubt that this was written by someone attached to v117 – I do think that that nickname was one of the best parts of the show and would like it to stick
@bwog made PrezBo part of it’s official style after V110 coined the name.
@Once he was bragging in the elevator about how he got hella dap from students “like he was a celebrity”
@Anonymous I hate this man
