Dear Graduate Students, For those of you planning to complete your MA requirements and graduate this semester, a reminder to apply for Spring 2019 graduation via CUNYfirst by the *March 1* deadline <https://www.qc.cuny.edu/registrar/graduation/Pages/default.aspx>. And if you haven't already, please consider submitting a proposal for our annual graduate conference! This year's theme is on "The Pursuit of Pleasure," and the CFP is attached here. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to share your work and participate in a vital aspect of academic professional life. You can present on seminar papers you've written, thesis essays you're working on, or even on new projects that you're just beginning to explore. As always, if you have any questions or need advising, please don't hesitate to email me or Bill or make an appointment.
