Can you send this one to the student list? Thank you! -G Dear English Majors, I hope you can come to the honors conference, which runs all day on Tuesday, May 14. You’re welcome to come for any part of it, and I think you’ll find it genuinely interesting and fun. The presenters are seniors who will graduate with honors in English, and they’re presenting the research they did in their honors’ theses. They designed their topics themselves, and their work represents some of the strongest I’ve ever seen at the undergraduate level. This is a great opportunity for you to see models of excellence in literary scholarship, right here at QC. I’m attaching the poster, and here’s the program<http://honorsconference2019.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/>. Feel free to drop in whenever you can and leave whenever you like, as long as you do so quietly, so you don't disturb the presenters. There will also be time for questions at the end of each panel, and you're welcome to engage with the research that way, too. With all best wishes, Professor Fisk Gloria Fisk Associate Professor http://english.qc.cuny.edu/quick-links/gloria-fisk/

[Englishstudents] An Invitation for your students to read their work, hosted by QCVoices
by English 03 May '19

03 May '19

Attached is announcement for a public reading hosted by QCVoices<http://qcvoices.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/> and open to all QC students- next Wednesday, May 8, during free hour. This an excellent opportunity for you to share your work and get some practice reading it for an audience that is 100000% supportive. Here's how it works; Students bring a short piece of their own writing in any genre- an excerpt from an essay, a poem, or a short personal reflection, a song, anything- and they put their name on a sign-up sheet. Then we run down the list, listen to each writer read their work, and give sincere applause for all. There is also pizza. The exact amount of time allotted for each writer varies a bit, depending upon how many people come, but it's usually 3-5 minutes. It is always a lovely event! Best wishes, Gloria Fisk

Dear English Majors and Minors, I hope you're all hanging in there in these final weeks of the semester. We're almost there! As the semester comes to a close, I wanted to remind you of a few things. Please feel free to reach out to the English Department with any questions or concerns you may have. If you have questions about grading policies, absences (yours or your professor's), or anything else, please send us an email or come by the English Department. We'd rather know than not know, especially if there's a potential issue. You can reach out to me directly or you can email English(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:English@qc.cuny.edu>. Also, I know this is the time of year when some students start considering asking for an incomplete. Please try to do this as sparingly as possible. In my experience, incompletes become even harder to complete once the semester is over and many become FINS (which factor into your GPA as an F). If you don't think you can complete the semester because of a personal or family emergency, you should reach out to the Office of Student Affairs<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/about/administration/affairs/Pages/default.aspx>. Also, Counseling Services<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/StudentLife/services/counseling/counseling/Pages/de…> is here to help you as well. And of course, the Writing Center<http://writingcenter.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu> is a wonderful resource for help with your final essays. Good luck with the last few weeks and with your final exams and papers! all my best, Karen Weingarten Acting Chair, English Queens College, CUNY
