In 1985, Suzanne Fremon, a concert pianist and computer programmer at the Columbia computer center, with the help of Aaron Warner, president of the Advisory Board of the Faculty House, inaugurated a series of noon-hour concerts, for the Columbia and Morningside Heights community. In general, the series begins in mid-October and continues through mid-December, in the Fall; in the Spring, the series runs from mid-February through the end of April. There are roughly 20 concerts in the course of a school year. The series is named for I.I. Rabi, Nobel physics professor, who was an early supporter and Aaron Warner, director of the University Seminars, who was a major influence in the early days of establishing the series. Both are deceased. The concerts take place on Wednesdays, from 12:15 to 1 PM. Audience members are encouraged to have lunch, either beforehand or afterwards, at the 4th floor dining room, where a reservation is advisable, or at the 3rd floor cafeteria. The performers are professional musicians, usually from the New York area, who like to appear at the Faculty House, because the ambiance is friendly, the acoustics are good and the audience is welcoming. Many concert artists use the Faculty House setting as an opportunity to test upcoming programs they plan to perform in other venues around the City or on tour. Since the Faculty House sponsors the Rabi-Warner concerts, admission is free of charge to the audience.

Raw Elementz burst into being in the spring of 2001, when former Culture Shock dancer and current slave to academia Kristin Liu decided to take matters into her own hands. In the beginning, there was Kant. On the weekends, there was more Kant, and sometimes Aristotle, or if you were lucky enough to go to Barnard you might get something interesting. Then Kristin said, Let there be hip-hop, and Raw Elementz was born. And it was good. As long-time big cheese in the satellite hip-hop interest group of the Chinese Students Club, Kristin made the move to expand her base of operations. She created an organization modeled loosely after Culture Shock, a professional dance troupe and outreach organization in cities around the world. She worked tirelessly to attain ABC and SGA recognition, hounded random students for signatures, and essentially stopped at nothing until her mission was completed. Of course, in the end it all paid off, and Raw Elementz has since grown into what it is now: An independent, diverse, awesome group of people who love to dance.
