you that the CUNY-Labor Arts Contest deadline is around the corner — March 6, 2017. As you know from past years, the contest invites students to submit writing or art that speaks to labor issues. The contest is open to CUNY undergraduates, and offers cash prizes up to $1,000 in four categories: fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and visual art. We are hoping you can continue to help spread the word to both faculty and students by sending a reminder email to your faculty and students. Thank you! For full entry guidelines, students can visit: http://www.laborarts.org/contest. Thank you again for your time. We appreciate your partnership and support, and look forward to another robust and successful contest this year.

Students, Please see below and attached. Best, The English Department Klapper 607 718-997-4600 [like_us_on_facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/QCENGL> From: Muslim Identity [mailto:muslimidentity@jjay.cuny.edu] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2017 7:24 PM To: English Subject: Call for Essays on Muslim Identity-Please Distribute to your Students Dear Professor Glenn Burger, On behalf of the CUNY Dispute Resolution Center at John Jay College, we are writing to request your assistance in recruiting CUNY Muslim students and recent alumni to submit original essays for an upcoming book project on Muslim Identity funded by the CUNY Diversity Projects Development Fund. The essays should be between 300-1,000 words and submitted by April 7, 2017 to muslimidentity(a)jjay.cuny.edu<mailto:muslimidentity@jjay.cuny.edu>. Selected entries will appear in an edited publication and the writers will be awarded a $25 gift card. This important awareness project invites young Muslims on all CUNY campuses to submit original accounts sharing how Islam has shaped their identity as Muslims living in present day America. It provides young Muslims with an opportunity to write about their Muslim identity and their understanding of Islam instead of having their narratives defined by the media and those misinformed about Islam and Muslim identity. Please help us to circulate the attached flyer widely and encourage Muslim students and recent alumni of your CUNY campus to participate in this call for essays. Publication of the essays and distribution of gift cards will be completed by June 30, 2017. Feel free to email us if you have any questions or need any additional information at muslimidentity(a)jjay.cuny.edu<mailto:muslimidentity@jjay.cuny.edu>. This is our third edited book of essays by CUNY Muslim students. If you would like a copy of our last book, email us your request. Thank you for your time and assistance in helping to disseminate information for this important and timely project aiming to provide an opportunity for the voices of young Muslims at CUNY to be shared at CUNY and beyond.

[Englishstudents] FW: SHAKESPEARE ACADEMY @ STRATFORD - NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER 2017
by English 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Dear Students, Please see below. From: English Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2017 9:33 AM To: Tiffany T Thomas Subject: FW: SHAKESPEARE ACADEMY @ STRATFORD - NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER 2017 Best, English Department 718 997 4600 [like_us_on_facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/QCENGL> From: Kelly Letourneau [mailto:kelly@shakespeareacademystratford.org] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2017 4:50 PM To: English Subject: SHAKESPEARE ACADEMY @ STRATFORD - NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR SUMMER 2017 Hello, As a fellow educator and Shakespeare enthusiast, I am pleased to share with you an exciting summer training opportunity. The Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford is a six-week theater and performance program currently accepting applications for our 2017 ensemble. We would be grateful if you could share this information with your Queens College English undergraduates. In addition to being the Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford Program Coordinator, I am also a SA@S alum! Please feel free to reach out with any questions and share my contact information with any interested students. More information can be found below as well as on our website<https://kellymletourneau-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1e0K91X_I…>. Thank you! All my best, Kelly Letourneau Program Coordinator, Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford kelly(a)shakespeareacademystratford.org<mailto:kelly@shakespeareacademystratford.org> APPLY BY APRIL 1 TO JOIN THE SHAKESPEARE ACADEMY @ STRATFORD'S 2017 ENSEMBLE [cid:image003.jpg@01D281EE.515BDCA0] The Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford is a six-week theater and performance program that uniquely combines the study of Shakespeare's text, contemporary ensemble training, and the opportunity to rehearse and perform in two of Shakespeare’s plays in repertory. The 2017 program runs from June 26 to August 8. Now entering its fourth season, SA@S provides 14 students from around the U.S. and abroad with a rigorous, collaborative and immersive conservatory experience. Housed together in Stratford, Connecticut, the ensemble trains and performs on the property that once housed the legendary American Shakespeare Festival Theater where performers such as Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman and Christopher Walken brought their magic to the work of Shakespeare for decades. Perhaps the most exciting and unique aspect of the program is the chance to rehearse and perform in not one but TWO Shakespeare productions simultaneously in the final week of the program. Beginning this season, SA@S will invite a working professional to serve as guest director on one of the two productions. This summer, New York City based director, Jessi D. Hill, will direct The Tempest and SA@S Artistic Director Brian McManamon will direct the second play, Measure for Measure. In addition to daily ensemble classes and weekly work-in-progress showings, the SA@S ensemble participates in master classes led by internationally recognized instructors from programs such as Juilliard and the Yale School of Drama. Master classes in 2016 included acting, text, Droznin, Lucid Body, voice, speech, clown and stage combat. The Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford is looking to assemble a diverse ensemble from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds. Students entering college, attending college, as well as recent college graduates may apply. Prior training in theater and/or Shakespeare is not a requirement for admission. Two scholarships will be awarded this season. Application deadline: April 1st. Instructions on how to apply as well as more information about the program, faculty, and classes can be found on our website<https://kellymletourneau-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/Redirect?ukey=1e0K91X_I…>. If you or your students have any questions about the program, please feel free to e-mail me at kelly(a)shakespeareacademystratford.org<mailto:kelly@shakespeareacademystratford.org>.
