by Caroline K. Hong 14 Jun '21

14 Jun '21

Dear Graduate Students, A reminder that there's still time to register for a summer elective course! The 6-week summer session begins on *July 6*, and there are still seats available in Prof. James Richie's ENGL 781 on American poetry. Also, for anyone who may have missed Pres. Frank Wu's email about student services available over the summer, please find it forwarded below. As always, if you have any questions or need advising, please email us both anytime. Please note, however, that due to summer research/service commitments and travel, we (and faculty in general) may sometimes be a little slower to respond to emails. Hope all of you are taking care! Best, Caroline & Hillary, your Directors of Graduate Studies -- Dr. Caroline Kyungah Hong Associate Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies (English MA) Queens College, CUNY *she/her/hers* * Please note that I am off email on weekends and will respond to your email during business hours, Monday–Friday 9am–5pm, generally within 1–2 business days. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: President Frank H. Wu/Queens College <qcmailer(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Thu, Jun 3, 2021 at 1:00 PM Subject: Student Services during Summer Session 2021 To: <chong(a)qc.cuny.edu> >From President Frank H. Wu: There are many student services, both virtual and in-person, being offered to students at Queens College for Summer Session 2021. I encourage you to alert your students to these opportunities. On behalf of the campus community, I would like to extend our gratitude to our essential staff and all those who make these services possible. I also wish to especially thank the Office of Information Technology Services, which supports so many of the services described in this communication.

Freshman, transfer, and continuing students are welcome to make virtual appointments, connect through LiveChat, leave a message, or utilize our e-Advising service. Virtual appointments are available in the daytime, evening, and on Saturday by phone or video conference. Dates for future appointments open each Monday on the QC Navigate app (download it here <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001RbFxsmQNTrHM0ycYQT1q_snPK29TpSXkvqwYv4tvawK…>).
