Dear Graduate Students, We just want to congratulate everyone who helped make our 6th annual English grad conference <http://pursuitofpleasure.qwriting.qc.cuny.edu/> yesterday a great success! The presentations were so engaging and thought-provoking, and we were thrilled to award this year's Best Conference Presentation prize to Alicia Farouk for her paper, “Esther Greenwood’s Pursuit of the ‘Womb-Tomb’ in Sylvia Plath’s *The Bell Jar*”! Our special thanks to the fabulous conference-planning committee: Maria Bulzone, Alison Eldredge, Farrah Goff, Saidah Henderson, Tenisha McDonald, Sal Pisciotta, and Nandi Prince. You can check out pics from the conference over at our Facebook page <https://www.facebook.com/pg/QCMAEnglish/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2402791706618973>. And can't wait to start planning our 7th annual conference with y'all in the fall! Best, Caroline and Bill -- Caroline Kyungah Hong Associate 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@qc.cuny.edu
