[MAEnglish] Internship opportunity + grad/int'l student support group
by Caroline Kyungah Hong 29 Feb '16

29 Feb '16

Hi all, One of our MA alums, Darwin Eng, works for a cybersecurity firm and passed along a summer internship opportunity. He says, "I thought it would be a great opportunity for any QC English students since it combines writing/research with business and cybersecurity." Please see attached PDF for more info. And if you're interested and have any questions, I'm happy to put you in touch with Darwin. Counseling is also offering a social support group for graduate and international students, to meet new people and talk about the stresses of academic life at QC. They'll be meeting on Thursdays starting March 17 from 3-4pm. Please see attached flier. Best, Caroline -- Caroline Kyungah Hong, PhD Assistant Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies (English MA) Queens College, CUNY 65-30 Kissena Blvd. Klapper Hall 604 Queens, NY 11367-1597 caroline.hong(a)qc.cuny.edu Spring 2016 office hours: Wed. 3-6pm

18 Feb '16

Hi all, One final reminder that the CFP extended deadline for our MA conference is this Monday, February 22. Please see the attached CFP. The theme of "Talking Trash" is meant to be broad enough that it can encompass pretty much all of your work, so don't miss this opportunity to share your ideas with our awesome intellectual community here in English at QC. Looking forward to reading your submissions! Best, Caroline and Bill (on behalf of the Graduate Conference Committee) -- Caroline Kyungah Hong, PhD Assistant Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies (English MA) Queens College, CUNY 65-30 Kissena Blvd. Klapper Hall 604 Queens, NY 11367-1597 caroline.hong(a)qc.cuny.edu Spring 2016 office hours: Wed. 3-6pm ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Hi everyone, and Happy Lunar New Year! The Grad Conference Committee has decided to extend the CFP deadline for our 3rd annual MA conference to *Monday, February 22*. So you have plenty of time to get in those submissions. Please see the attached CFP. Keep in mind that you don't need to have written the paper/presentation yet to submit a proposal, and that whatever you end up presenting can be a work-in-progress. You won't find a more collegial and supportive audience to share your ideas with and get feedback from! If you're currently taking an MA class, you might even see if some of your classmates might be interested in putting together a panel or roundtable related to the class and submitting something as a group. If you have any questions or would like help with your proposal, please don't hesitate to email us or stop by our office hours.
