[Englishstudents] The English Honors Program
by English 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

Dear English Major and/ Minor: Please see below and attached to learn amore about the English Honors program. Sincerely, The English Department Klapper 607 718-997-4600 [like_us_on_facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/QCENGL> THE ENGLISH HONORS PROGRAM The Senior Year Experience If you meet the requirements, please consider looking into the English Honors program! The Honors Program offers a highly advantageous academic experience for qualified English majors, that is, students who are entering their senior year and have a 3.3 GPA and a 3.3 GPA in English. During the entirety of their senior year, Honors students are given the rare undergraduate opportunity to work together intensively in a small group. Students who meet the program standards are awarded Honors in English-a decided asset in any future endeavor, whether it be graduate study or a professional career. There are four essential program requirements: 1.) A two-semester Honors seminar 2.) A research project resulting in an original 20 pg. scholarly paper; 3.) An Honors examination 4.) Participation in a student conference. The fall semester of the Honors seminar is an intensive study of a particular topic, announced in advance of registration. For example, the 2015-16 Honors Seminar topic is "Beauty, Its Opposites, and Their Others," taught by Professor Seo-Young Chu. The spring semester focuses on completion of the research project started in the fall; preparation for and taking of the exam; and design of and participation in a student conference. For further information or to apply, please see the honors chairperson, Professor Jason Tougaw (Klapper 633), or email him at jason.tougaw(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:jason.tougaw@qc.cuny.edu>. Application forms are available in the English department office or via email from Professor Tougaw. He will do his best to answer any questions. On acceptance, space will be held for you in next year's seminar, for which you will register as usual during preregistration week. Note: Students must enroll in the first (fall) half of the Honors Seminar during the spring semester of their junior year; it is not possible to join the seminar in mid-course. Participation in the seminar satisfies two of the requirements for the English major: it substitutes for the required Senior Seminar and for one of the required Elective courses.

29 Feb '16

English Majors and Minors, Please see below. Best, English Department 718 997 4600 [like_us_on_facebook]<https://www.facebook.com/QCENGL> From: katherine_doyle(a)alumni.brown.edu<mailto:katherine_doyle@alumni.brown.edu> [mailto:katherine_doyle@alumni.brown.edu] On Behalf Of Kate Doyle Sent: Friday, February 26, 2016 11:46 AM To: Kate Doyle Subject: Undergraduate Shakespeare Opportunity Hello, Would you share this summer opportunity with any undergraduates in your department who might be interested? We warmly invite applications from literature students who may not have a background in performance. Applicants are welcome to be in touch with me at kate(a)shakespeareacademystratford.org<mailto:kate@shakespeareacademystratford.org> with any questions about this year's program. Thank you! Best wishes, Kate Doyle Kate Doyle Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford www.shakespeareacademystratford.org<http://www.shakespeareacademystratford.org/> APPLY to Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford's 2016 Ensemble Shakespeare Academy @ Stratford<http://www.shakespeareacademystratford.org> is a summer theater training and performance program that uniquely combines three key elements: Shakespeare study, contemporary ensemble training and repertory performance. Now entering its third season, SA@S brings together a small, eclectic, passionate ensemble from around the U.S. and internationally to engage in a rigorous, collaborative, and interdisciplinary experience. The fourteen ensemble members will live, train and perform in Stratford, Connecticut on the property that once housed the legendary American Shakespeare Festival Theater. This year's program will run June 26 to August 8. In addition to daily ensemble workshops and weekly work-in-progress showings, the ensemble will take master classes with internationally recognized instructors in acting, Shakespeare’s text, Droznin, Lucid Body, voice & speech, clown, Shakespeare scholarship and design. Perhaps the most exciting -- and unique -- aspect of the program is the opportunity to rehearse and then perform in two full length Shakespeare productions simultaneously in the final week of the program. This summer’s offerings will be Love’s Labour’s Lost and Richard III. Assistant directing opportunities are also available. All performances are open to the public. Applications<https://app.getacceptd.com/shakespeareacademy> to the Summer 2016 season are currently being accepted from students entering college, attending college, and recent college graduates. The application consists of a written application and video submission. The deadline to apply is April 1. With our interdisciplinary approach in mind, we seek applicants from a wide range of backgrounds. Prior training in theater and/or Shakespeare is not a requirement for admission. Rather, we look for evidence of the applicant's desire to create, a strong work ethic, curiosity, and readiness to jump in, collaborate and take risks as part of a sustained ensemble-development process. Two full scholarships will be awarded to students attending this year's program. To learn more and apply, please have a look around our website: shakespeareacademystratford.org<http://shakespeareacademystratford.org/>.
