[Englishstudents] Mentorship
by English 12 Apr '19

12 Apr '19

Hello majors/minors! 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 our 2016 and 2017 issues of English Matters, we focused on alumni and their accomplishments throughout the years, and we found that many of them have done amazing things. 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. If this is something that would interest you, please leave your name, email, and career goal in the following link: https://forms.gle/xHyjeWhC2hcZ3ytT8 Please let us know your thoughts. Sincerely, The English Department http://english.qc.cuny.edu/ Klapper 607 718-997-4600

[Englishstudents] FW: Graduation Ceremony, May 2019
by English 03 Apr '19

03 Apr '19

Dear students, I am delighted to invite you to the 2019 English department graduation ceremony, Thursday May 30, at approximately 12.00pm. The ceremony will be held in the Goldstein Theater on campus, and is open to all graduating students, friends, and family. There are two ceremonies on the day: the main ceremony on the campus commons, and the English department ceremony. The department ceremony will begin after the main ceremony on the campus commons has concluded (it usually ends around 11.00am-11.30am). Our start time of 12.00pm is therefore approximate; we will begin when all students and their guests have arrived. The ceremony lasts approximately an hour, and light refreshments will be served afterwards. Students will receive an English department certificate at the ceremony, and have their official graduation photographs taken. Academic regalia is not required, but it is encouraged. You do not need to reserve tickets for this event, nor is there a limit to the number of guests you invite (although seating is on a first come basis); however, it would help with planning if you could briefly RSVP here.<https://forms.gle/eoVn6QJEpckqPZn26> Congratulations to our graduating class of 2019, and I very much hope to see you at the ceremony! As always, please don't hesitate to contact me at Sian.silyn.roberts(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:Sian.silyn.roberts@qc.cuny.edu> if you have any questions about this. All best, Dr. Siân Silyn Roberts Associate Professor of English Director of Undergraduate Studies Department of English, Queens College Klapper Hall 601 Office Hours for Fall 2018: M/W 12:00-2:00pm
