[Englishstudents] Faculty Teaching Awards: Please Nominate Your Favorite Professors!
by English 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

Dear English Majors, Every year Queens College gives us out teaching awards to our faculty, and these awards are primarily based on who students nominate for these awards. If you'd like to nominate one (or more) of your professors for a teaching award, please send me an email (karen.weingarten(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:karen.weingarten@qc.cuny.edu>) by October 12 with the name of the professor you'd like to nominate. I'll also need you to write a letter in support of the professor, but I won't need that until the following week. Professors with the most nominations will have their names (with supporting letters) forwarded to the Arts & Humanities division for the final round of the competition. This is your chance to let the Queens College faculty and administration know which of your professors inspired you and taught you new ways of thinking about literature, writing, and the world. I hope you participate in putting forward your favorite professors' names. all the best, Karen Weingarten Acting Chair of English Queens College, CUNY

[Englishstudents] Puppet theater course in Drama
by English 05 Oct '18

05 Oct '18

Professor Meghan Healey is offering an exciting course in the Department of Drama, Theater, and Dance that may appeal to you, our English Majors. See details below, and please contact Professor Healey if you have any questions. I am very excited to announce that PUPPET THEATER WORKSHOP is BACK! This course will be offered on Monday afternoons in the Spring 2019 semester from 1:40-4:30. The course appears on the schedule as DRAMA 242: PUPPET WORKSHOP. This is an amazing class that involves creating your own original puppetry for existing texts, as well as creating original text for your own new puppet plays. It's a fantastic class for people who love performance and/or visual theater. This year's class will focus on found object puppetry. While no previous experience in puppetry is necessary, this is a permission only class. I am looking for actors, writers, designers, comedians, musicians, artists, and people who have a passion to try something new and be challenged. If you want to be considered for this workshop, please send me an email at meghan.healey(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:meghan.healey@qc.cuny.edu> with a short statement about your name, your major, your goals for taking this class, and any relevant course work or other skills or work you think you can bring to the class. I do have a limit of 15 students, so please make sure you contact me as soon as possible if you wish to be considered. Meghan E. Healey Associate Professor of Design Chair of the Department of Drama, Theater, and Dance Queens College CUNY 718-997-3090
