Dear All, Please pass on to any interested students — Thank you, Christa ++++ The Goethe-Institut has just announced a new scholarship program for SUNY and CUNY students only. Take an introductory/beginning German course (corresponding to A1.1 and A1.2 level) this summer and apply for a full scholarship! The course meets from June 26 - August 30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 to 5:15 PM at the Goethe-Institut in Manhattan. The course is conducted entirely in German. Interested students should contact the Goethe-Institut directly at germancourses-newyork(a)goethe.de with a short (approx. one paragraph) explanation of why they are interested in learning German. Scholarships are given without regard to financial need, but students should reach out to them as soon as possible if they are interested. This is a great opportunity to work on their German language skills and advance more quickly to higher level coursework if they so choose.

Contacting Your Talented Students
by Moira E Egan 25 May '18

25 May '18

Dear all, As we approach the end of the semester, I want to thank you for all your help promoting fellowships. I appreciate your announcing my information sessions and referring individual students to me. It is always such a pleasure to work with our committed and fascinating students to help them achieve their goals. There are a number of major national awards with deadlines early in the fall semester, and I want to be sure that I can assist as many applicants as possible over the summer. So, if you have promising students who are thinking of graduate school, for example, I would very much appreciate your help in reaching them. Please feel free either to pass along my contact information or to send me names of students whom you think are good candidates for major national awards such as Fulbright, Marshall, or the National Science Foundation's graduate school funding. I am also happy to work with students earlier in their careers to help them lay the groundwork for a post-graduate opportunity, so you are also very welcome to connect me with your talented rising sophomores or juniors. I hope everyone enjoys the upcoming commencement celebrations and has a refreshing and productive summer. Best, Moira ~ Moira E. Egan, Ph.D. National Fellowships Advisor Office of Honors and Scholarships Rm. 23 Honors Hall Queens College, CUNY (718) 997-2863

Dear Colleagues, Please join the Art Center in welcoming Greek artist, Yorgos Giotsas, to Queens College, with an opening reception celebrating his solo exhibition, Yorgos Giotsas: Uncertain Alphabet. Uncertain Alphabet considers the potentially isolating effects of modern communication methods through Giotsas' new sculptural collages on paper, which represent a new direction within the artist's body of work. As the second half of an ongoing partnership between Giotsas and the Art Center, begun with the series' debut<https://www.qcartcenter.org/copy-of-supply-demand> at Paris' Galerie Desmos in 2017, Uncertain Alphabet at QC continues to build an active and constructive response to the issues raised in Giotsas' work. For more information, please feel free to contact me and visit the Art Center's updated website, www.qcartcenter.org<http://www.qcartcenter.org>.
