Dear Graduate Students,

Happy Black History Month! Please check out the many wonderful BHM events happening at QC and across CUNY throughout February.

We especially want to highlight an event coming up this Wednesday, Feb. 10, 12:15-1:30pm, that's part of our department's new English Seminar Series. Prof. Lorgia Garcia Peña will be Zooming with us to talk about "Black Latinidad: From Arthur Schomburg to Cardi B." Please see the attached flyer and register for the virtual event at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8oA1hJKuRxaq42_w5uTIFA.

The CUNY Chapbook Festival will also take place on three Thursdays throughout this semester. Please click here to register for their first event on February 18, 4:00-5:30pm.

We hope you had a relatively smooth and gentle first week of the spring semester! As always, please don't hesitate to email us both if you have any questions or need advising.

Best,

Caroline & Hillary, your Directors of Graduate Studies in English

Dr. Caroline Kyungah Hong
