[History undergraduates] REMINDER: Applying to Graduate School -- Workshop on April 6
by Francesca Bregoli 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Dear History majors, This is a reminder about the History Club Graduate School workshop, scheduled for tomorrow! Following last semester's great boot camp on how to apply for *grad school* , *Prof. Lawrence Cappello* has planned a second meeting with *additional info and more tips* -- particularly on *CV building*! More info below. WHEN: Wednesday April 6, at free hour (12:15-1:30pm) WHERE: Powdermaker Hall 110 WHO: Prof. Lawrence Cappello on how to apply to grad school Everybody is welcome. You don't have to have attended last semester's workshop to come. Make sure to invite your friends from other departments who are interested in going to grad school -- this event will be helpful for History and non-History majors alike. All the best, Prof. Bregoli What and Who: A frank discussion about the ins-and-outs of applying to Social Science grad-school/Ph.D. programs, led by former QC student and present QC lecturer Lawrence Cappello. Prof. Cappello won a five-year Ph.D. fellowship as a QC undergraduate (“fellowships” = full scholarship, health insurance, monthly salary, and a teaching appointment). Why: Because grad-school admissions is ridiculously competitive, your GPA has very little to do with whether or not you’ll get in, and many of the students you’ll be up against come from colleges that have well-funded centers dedicated to such things. What Else: Topics will include C.V. building, personal statement writing, how to gather recommendations, how to find the right program for you, application timelines, basic networking, GRE advice, and help with writing sample topics. The discussion will cover numerous themes not discussed in last term’s Grad-School boot camp. *Lawrence Cappello *has been a lecturer at QC for the last five years, and is will finish his Ph.D. this Spring at the CUNY Graduate Center. His work centers on American intellectual, political, and cultural history, particularly the history of privacy in the United States. --- Francesca Bregoli Queens College-CUNY, History department Assistant Professor Phi Alpha Theta/History Club and Internships Faculty Advisor Powdermaker Hall 352YY Queens, NY 11367 Acting director, Center for Jewish Studies The Graduate Center, CUNY On Wed, Mar 30, 2016 at 2:29 PM, Francesca Bregoli < francesca.bregoli(a)qc.cuny.edu> wrote: > Dear History majors, > > You're all invited to an exciting event organized by the History Club. > Following last semester's great workshop on how to apply for *grad school*, > *Prof. Lawrence Cappello* has planned a second meeting with *additional > info and more tips* -- particularly on *CV building*! > > WHEN: Wednesday April 6, at free hour (12:15-1:30pm) > WHERE: Powdermaker Hall 110 > WHO: Prof. Lawrence Cappello on how to apply to grad school > > Everybody welcome.
