Dear Graduate Students, A reminder about the following *important dates* (see the full calendar on the QC website <https://www.qc.cuny.edu/pages/calendar.aspx>): - No classes on October 8, 9, and 14. - Wednesday, October 16, follows a Monday schedule. As a result, Bill and I will not be holding *office hours* next week (Oct. 8-9). I also need to cancel my office hours on Wednesday, October 16. If you need advising during these next couple weeks, please feel free to email or make an appointment. *Preregistration* will be taking place October 28-30. Look out for an email next week with Spring 2020 English MA course descriptions and instructions on how to preregister for spring classes. Please also find attached a couple flyers, one from our *MFA program* announcing their Fall 2019 events and another from the *English PhD program* at the CUNY Graduate Center announcing an Open House for those of you interested in applying. Happy October! Best, Caroline & Bill -- Caroline Kyungah Hong, PhD Associate Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies (English MA) Queens College, CUNY Klapper Hall 604 caroline.hong@qc.cuny.edu *she/her/hers*
