[Englishstudents] FW: Scholarships for Remote Internships
by English 16 Apr '20

16 Apr '20

Dear students, I hope this email finds you well. I’m writing to let you know about an opportunity to receive a scholarship for doing remote internships this summer or fall. Queens College’s Center for Career Engagement and Internships<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/StudentLife/services/career/Pages/default.aspx> is offering $2400 stipends for students to pursue unpaid internships through the Dr. Félix V. Matos Rodriguez Internship Fund. See the attachment for details. The application deadline is April 26. The internships can be for the summer or fall. To apply, you need a resume, application essay, and a letter of recommendation. Given the fact that we’re all sheltering—and so much is uncertain—you probably have questions about how internships might work. Some employers are offering remote internships you can do from home. You do not have to have found an internship to be eligible for the scholarship. The great staff at the Career Center can help place you with an employer. It’s a good idea to mention the kinds of work that interest you in your application essay. If there’s an organization or employer you know you’d like to work with, mention that too. To see a listings of internships advertised through the college, you can log on to HireQC<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/StudentLife/services/career/Pages/Symplicity-Login.…> with your Queens College CAMS account. I’ll explain some more details below, but my first recommendation is to watch this instructional video<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYKJxietda8&feature=youtu.be> explaining the application process. If you have questions about the application process or about finding an internship, you can contact Lisa Louis-Marijanksi, Associate Director of Education and Internships (lisa.louis.marijanski(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:lisa.louis.marijanski@qc.cuny.edu>). If you’d like help with your application essay, you can contact The Writing Center<https://sites.google.com/qc.cuny.edu/qcwritingcenter/home> to schedule a remote session with one of their peer consultants. Letters of recommendation can be submitted one of two ways. The writer of the letter can submit it direct to stipend(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:stipend@qc.cuny.edu> or send it to you to submit with your application. The option for letter writers to submit directly is intended to give them a little flexibility if they’re not ready by the deadline. In addition to the video, you can find instructions here<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/StudentLife/services/career/students/internships/Pa…>. You can schedule a virtual advising session<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/StudentLife/services/career/Pages/ContactUs.aspx> with a Career Center Educational Officer to get help with your application materials. To submit your application, you can log into HireQC<https://www.qc.cuny.edu/StudentLife/services/career/Pages/Symplicity-Login.…> with your Queens College CAMS account. You can also contact me with questions. Sincerely, Jason Tougaw Professor, English jason.tougaw(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:jason.tougaw@qc.cuny.edu> [cid:CDCF625A-B2FB-4514-AD48-E8C4A899E1BB@earthlink.net]

[Englishstudents] FW: Deferred Graduation ceremony
by English 13 Apr '20

13 Apr '20

See below Sincerely, The English Department http://english.qc.cuny.edu/ Klapper 607 718-997-4600 From: Sian Silynroberts <Sian.Silyn.Roberts(a)qc.cuny.edu> Sent: Monday, April 13, 2020 6:38 PM Subject: Deferred Graduation ceremony Dear students, as you may have heard by now, the Spring 2020 commencement ceremony has been postponed. It had originally been scheduled to take place on May 28. Although graduating students will still receive their diplomas, we cannot congregate for Commencement, for obvious reasons. Like many of you, I am so very saddened by this news. Commencement is a wonderful occasion, and the English faculty cherish the annual opportunity to celebrate our students' accomplishments. For our graduating class, it is especially disappointing. Although we cannot offer you an actual ceremony this Spring, I am hoping that we can offer some small alternatives. First, we will be setting up an English department virtual commencement website. Over the next few weeks, we will be working on posting videos of congratulation from our faculty and other students. More details will follow by mid-May. Second, I would like to invite all graduating seniors, MA, and MFA students and their families to the Spring 2021 English department commencement ceremony. We may not be able to have a ceremony this year, but we would be delighted if you returned next year, when we will celebrate two graduating classes! If you are interested in returning for next year's commencement, please fill out this form<https://forms.gle/QBv5y3HgdxpyL3666>. You will then receive in invitation to attend next year's ceremony in Spring 2021. As always, please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. With warm wishes, and hoping you are safe and well, Prof. Silyn Roberts Dr. Siân Silyn Roberts Associate Professor of English Director of Undergraduate Studies Department of English, Queens College Klapper Hall 601 Office Hours for Spring 2020: Mon 3:00-4:00pm; Wed 12pm-2pm; and by appointment

[Englishstudents] Census
by Jamie J Arizmendy 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

Students, Hello. My name is Justin Mogollon. I am a senior student in Queens College and I work for the CUNY Census Corps. I am reaching out to you because we are trying to spread the word about the Census to the Queens College community while working remotely. Would it be possible for you to share information with all of your classes about the Census? I attached a flyer to this email and would be happy to share more information with you to pass along to your students. Thank you for your time. -Justin Mogollon
