Esse Quam Videri
In all likelihood you came here to be something, not to just pretend to be something. That being the case, we can't help but think of our old friend Bob Enrietto, a successful Hollywood producer and co-founder of Columbia's Semester-in-LA program.
He once asked a student what he wanted to be. The student said, "a producer." Bob held up his hand, curled his fingers toward the student, and said ... "Poof. You're a producer. Go produce something."
Esse Quam Videri. For those of you not fluent in Latin, it means "To be, rather than to seem to be," and it serves as Columbia's official motto.
Be.
