Dear Graduate Students, Just a note to say that regular advising hours for the MA and MS.ED programs ended today. Next week, I'll be available to meet by appointment on Wednesday December 18, between 12:00-4:30 and again between 5:30-6:00 in Klapper 604. Please email to schedule an appointment time. Professor Hong and I will be available to answer your questions and concerns via email during the winter vacation. It may take us longer to respond than would be the case during the regular semester so please be patient and plan accordingly. Spring advising hours will be announced in January. With all best wishes for the end of the semester, and for the winter vacation. Andrea Walkden Assistant Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies, MA Program andrea.walkden(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:andrea.walkden@qc.cuny.edu> English Department Klapper Hall, Room 604 Queens College, CUNY

Hi all, Just a reminder that the Graduate Conference Committee will be holding its first meeting this *Wednesday, December 4, from 5:30-6:30pm in Klapper 710*. Please see below for more info. Looking forward to it! Best, Andrea Walkden (andrea.walkden(a)qc.cuny.edu) Director of Graduate Studies, MA English Caroline Hong (caroline.hong(a)qc.cuny.edu) Assistant Director of Graduate Studies, MA English ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Caroline Kyungah Hong <caroline.hong(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 9:41 AM Subject: Join the Graduate Conference Committee Dear Graduate Students, We are excited to announce that we will be holding the QC English Department's first annual graduate conference this Spring 2014. We are looking for some volunteers to join the Graduate Conference Committee and help organize the conference. The committee's responsibilities will include crafting a conference theme and call for papers, making decisions on submissions, organizing panels, and asking faculty to chair the panels. We hope to schedule the conference in mid-April and expect to meet about once a month between now and then. Even if you don't volunteer, we hope that you'll all consider submitting proposals once the call for papers goes out at the beginning of next semester. Conference organizers and presenters will be participating in an important aspect of professional academic life (and it looks great on CVs and applications for those of you planning to continue your graduate studies). If you're interested in joining the Graduate Conference Committee for 2013-14, please let us know via email and also plan to attend the first committee meeting on *Wednesday, December 4, from 5:30-6:30pm* in Klapper 710. We look forward to working with you on what promises to be a very rewarding and exciting event!

[MAEnglish] REMINDER - thesis essay meeting
by Andrea J Walkden 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

Dear Graduate Students, I'm writing to remind you about the 791 information meeting happening this Wednesday (Dec 4), from 6:30-7:30pm in Klapper 710. Note the slight time adjustment from previous announcements. The meeting is open to all, but is mostly intended for students planning to register for 791 and write their culminating thesis essays in the spring 2014 semester. During the meeting, we'll be explaining the practical arrangements for 791, including finding an advisor and reader and submitting a thesis essay proposal, and you'll have the opportunity to ask us questions. You'll also be invited to share the topic of your thesis essay with other members of the group, and we'll talk more generally about the writing process, time management, and what to expect from/ask of your advisor.
