29 Aug '19

Dear students, On behalf of the English department, welcome to the Fall semester! Whether you are returning to the English department, or have newly joined us, I am delighted that you are studying with us, and I look forward to meeting more of you individually in the weeks to come.

Any time you have any questions about your degree, or if you have any concerns or issues you'd like to raise, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me, or Prof. Weingarten, the Chair of the Department. We are always more than happy to help in any way we can. Starting on Wednesday September 11, we will resume our weekly meetings of the English Department Undergraduate Club. It meets during free hour in Klapper Hall 334, and is a social space for our English majors and minors to meet, hang out, eat lunch, and chat about all things English.

[Englishstudents] FW: Fall Internship Positions at NYC Census 2020
by English 26 Aug '19

26 Aug '19

Hello Faculty, Staff and Students, The NYC Census 2020 is looking for undergraduate and graduate interns to join their office this fall (see below or attached for the positions). Please share with relevant students! Interested candidates can send their resumes directly to me for review and the position they are interested in. I highly recommend students meet with a career educator or myself to get a resume review. We have Career Walk-In Hours in Frese Hall 213 on Monday (12-1 PM), Tuesday (3-4 PM), and Thursday (10-11 AM). If students have any questions, please feel free to call our office at 718-997-4465. NYC Census 2020: The 2020 Census is around the corner, and there is almost no greater civil rights issue of our time. Everything from political representation from the most local level in our City, to our State, to our precious seats in Congress, all the way to our fair share of $650 billion+ in federal funding for housing, education, healthcare, and more, is determined by the Census. The stakes are incredibly high - New York stands to lose up to two congressional seats as a result of the next Census, and, if under-counted, would certainly lose its fair share of federal funds, as well. That's why the de Blasio Administration's NYC Census 2020 office is seeking the best and brightest to join their team. Together, they need to work hard to ensure that New York City - especially the harder-to-count communities of color and immigrant communities - is fully counted and represented. They are looking for exceptionally qualified candidates who have relevant experience in New York City civic life / politics, and who have a deep understanding of the myriad communities and neighborhoods, particularly communities of color and immigrant communities.

We are sending you this message because we want to get an idea of what professional field would be of interest to you as you complete your English degree. We're sure some of you want to be teachers, some journalists, and others would want to pursue creative writing.

In light of this, the English department decided that we would like to foster a kind of mentorship between alumni and undergrads. We're hoping that our alums would be able to give insight into your career goals, and maybe even assist with job searches.

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/
