Hi again, Here are a few more announcements that I've been asked to forward along: *1. English PhD Admissions Workshop at the CUNY Graduate Center* Greetings from the Ph.D. Program in English at the CUNY Graduate Center! We are hosting our fourth annual Admissions workshop on October 16th at 4 PM (CUNY Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue, Room 4406). We invite CUNY undergraduate and graduate students in English (and related fields) to attend. We will be talking about the vibrant scholarly community here at the GC, and answering questions about doctoral study in a small group setting. We will also share some successful statements of purpose and talk about how to put together a strong application to our program. Please find attached a flyer about the event; please circulate it widely. For questions and to RSVP, email Nancy Yousef at: Nancy.Yousef(a)baruch.cuny.edu. *2. Writing opportunity for online magazine The Artifice* I am involved in a project named The Artifice which is an online magazine that covers a wide spectrum of art forms, including Film, Anime, Comics, Literature, Games, and Arts. It is collaboratively built and maintained by the writers. The platform has an established audience of millions. We are currently expanding and we would like to provide an opportunity for your students and faculty to join our team of writers. Our current writers range from undergraduates, to graduates, to professors, and a bit of everyone in between. If this is something of interest, can you please let me know and I will send across more information about the project and how to join. Or alternatively, it would be helpful if you could kindly forward this message to the relevant staff in your department. I very much look forward to your response. Kind regards, Alyson Burston <alysonbur(a)ftframes.com> The Artifice: the-artifice.com *3.

[MAEnglish] ENGL 791/thesis essay workshop on Sep. 30
by Caroline Kyungah Hong 23 Sep '15

23 Sep '15

Hi all, If you are currently working on your culminating thesis essay, whether you are enrolled in ENGL 791 this semester or finishing an incomplete, you are invited to attend our fall 791 workshops. These three workshops will offer support and practical resources as you write and revise your thesis essays. You will have opportunities to get feedback on your works-in-progress, ask candid questions and share concerns, and receive guidance outside of meetings with your advisor. Though attendance is not mandatory, we strongly encourage you to come. Students in past semesters have found the workshops enormously helpful. Our first 791 workshop is taking place next *Wednesday, September 30*, from 6:30-8:00pm in Klapper 610. At this workshop, we'll discuss your questions and anxieties about the process and go over some helpful advice from our faculty. You will also have the chance to introduce your topics to each other. To that end, please bring with you *3 copies of the first page of your thesis essay draft* to share and workshop. If you don't yet have a drafted first page, please bring *3 copies of your proposal* instead. Please RSVP via email (caroline.hong(a)qc.cuny.edu) and let me know if you're planning to come to this workshop, so we can plan materials and refreshments. Please let me know even if you're working on your thesis essay but can't make it to the workshop, so I can email you materials after our meeting. And of course you can always let us know, via email or in person, if there are any questions or issues you'd like us to address in the workshops. Looking forward to hearing more about your projects next week! Best, Caroline and Bill -- Caroline Kyungah Hong, PhD Assistant Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies (English MA) Queens College, CUNY caroline.hong(a)qc.cuny.edu
