[Englishstudents] Reminder: English Matters Puzzle Contest - English Department
by QNS English 15 Apr '21

15 Apr '21

Hello English majors/minors! We would like to remind you that submissions for the English Matters puzzle contest are due Tuesday, June 1st. The winner’s puzzle, picture, and bio will be included in the next issue of English Matters, and a cash prize of $75 will be awarded. If you need assistance creating a puzzle, there are several puzzle tools you can use if you Google “puzzle generator”. The English department does not endorse any puzzle software so please take caution when using software on the internet. Guidelines: Puzzles must reference literature 1 puzzle on 1 page (8 ½ x 11 paper) Submit your name and Cuny ID with your puzzles Send an answer grid to all puzzles submitted. Puzzle Type (a few ideas but not limited to those listed): Anagrams - submit a set of letters for readers to create as many words as possible from those letters. Cryptograms - each letter is substituted either for a different letter or a symbol. Include clues to help readers piece together what the correct letters might be to form the hidden word or phrase. Crossword - a grid of squares and numbers, which readers fill in as they play based on clues along the side of the page. Usually, these clues are definitions or uses of the word readers are trying to guess. Letter Arrangement - readers are tasked with creating words from 9 letters. Rebus - printed words, pictures, or symbols arranged in a way that acts as a clue to the solution. Example: soup (split pea soup) Word Jumbles - a random looking arrangement of letters that readers have to re-arrange into a proper word. Word Search - a square grid of letters, usually with a series of clues or a theme. Readers have to try to locate those words within the grid. Have fun!

by QNS English 08 Apr '21

See below! Sincerely, The English Department http://english.qc.cuny.edu/ Klapper 607 718-997-4600 ________________________________ From: QNS First-Year-Experience <fye(a)qc.cuny.edu> Sent: Thursday, April 8, 2021 2:40 PM Subject: Paid Mentoring Opportunity for Arts & Humanities Students Good afternoon, We hope you are doing well and staying safe! We wanted to reach out on behalf of the First Year Experience Program which is a peer-to-peer program intended to help smooth the transition into Queens College for first year students. This is a great way for students to get involved on campus while simultaneously making a difference. We are currently looking for new mentors for next school year and are specifically looking for Arts & Humanities students. Attached below is information about the program, role, and application process. We would greatly appreciate you forwarding over this information to your students. If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you in advance! Best, First Year Experience The First Year Experience (FYE) program is designed to guide First-Year Students as they transition to Queens College (CUNY). To facilitate the transition, mentors will serve as models for navigating college. Methods of assisting First-Year Students will include formulating academic plans and time management strategies and developing career paths. The relationship between mentor and mentee is symbiotic, with both parties sharing mutual respect and providing each other the support to grow as people and professionals. In the process, First-Year Students will be presented with encouragement, reassurance, and exposure to knowledge they may otherwise not gain in a traditional classroom. Currently, the First Year Experience Program is looking for new mentors from the Arts and Humanities Division. For more information on the role please visit our website<http://fye.qc.cuny.edu/about/>. If you are a freshman, sophomore, or junior currently and are interested in working with FYE please fill out an application here.<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeaTbQ7LPgSyGGi3PbJMQeekA974S5ePDg…><https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeaTbQ7LPgSyGGi3PbJMQeekA974S5ePDg…> If you have any questions, you can reach out to the First Year Experience Program at fye(a)qc.cuny.edu.

See below and attached. If you would like to attend, please email peaceaction(a)macaulay.cuny.edu<mailto:peaceaction@macaulay.cuny.edu> or Instagram @MHCPeaceAction<https://www.instagram.com/mhcpeaceaction/> Sincerely, The English Department http://english.qc.cuny.edu/ Klapper 607 718-997-4600 ________________________________ From: Peace Action <peaceaction(a)macaulay.cuny.edu<mailto:peaceaction@macaulay.cuny.edu>> Sent: Monday, April 5, 2021 8:32 AM To: QNS English <english(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:english@qc.cuny.edu>> Subject: Join Macaulay Peace Action for PEN America Workshops! Good Morning, Hello! My name is Sierra Santiago, and I am the Outreach Coordinator of the Peace Action chapter of the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY. Peace Action is the nation's largest grassroots peace advocacy organization. For years now, Macaulay Peace Action has been highlighting the systemic injustices and inequalities that have shaped the United States and the world at large. I am writing on behalf of Peace Action to welcome students, faculty, and alumni to attend Macaulay Peace Action's workshops with PEN America, a massive organization of novelists, journalists, poets, and many other writing professionals dedicated to the protection of free speech, and to inquire if you would be willing to share and advertise information about this event. We ask that you please read and share the information below, including the attached flyer. In these workshops, students will discuss the work that goes into protecting free expression and how students can become human rights advocates. These workshops will center on PEN America's work and discuss issues like free speech on college campuses & how to use expression to advocate for human rights! We find that this kind of experiential learning may be an effective means of education and advocacy. These would be excellent networking opportunities for aspiring journalists, political activists & scientists, and students all-around! To connect students around the issues of protecting human rights is critical to building an engaged and critical student body! These events are open to all CUNY students, alumni, and faculty. This first workshop will be held on Friday, April 9th from 5:00 to 6:00 PM. Any questions can be directed to us at our email peaceaction(a)macaulay.cuny.edu<mailto:peaceaction@macaulay.cuny.edu> or our Instagram @MHCPeaceAction<https://www.instagram.com/mhcpeaceaction/>! Anyone that wishes to attend can either be directed to Peace Action through our email or Instagram; they can be sent the Zoom information below. We sincerely thank you for your time, consideration, and support. We hope to welcome students, faculty, and alumni from the English department at Queens College for this very important event! In solidarity, Sierra Santiago Outreach Coordinator, Macaulay Peace Action https://macaulay.cuny.edu/
