The Chuck Suber Scholarship

These graduate and undergraduate Scholarships of Columbia College Chicago are named in recognition of Chuck Suber's visionary leadership in the field of arts management and his continuing contributions to the AEMM Department.

Chuck Suber is currently an Artist-in-residence, and has been a member of the AEMM Department of Columbia College Chicago since 1978. During that time, he established the Music program and helped develop the Arts, Entertainment & Media Management Graduate Program. Before joining Columbia, he was publisher of DOWN BEAT magazine for 21 years. Mr. Suber is also the compiler and editor of the Dictionary for Artists and Performers and Managers, a required reference work for the Management Department. In addition, he serves as editor of the Columbia College Chicago/Arts, Entertainment & Media Management Publications (CCC/AEMMP), a new service of the College.

Mr. Suber continues to commute to Chicago from his home in New Orleans on a regular basis to teach classes at Columbia.
