**** Accelerated MA in Urban Affairs ****** If you are a sophomore or junior and you are a Urban or Labor Studies major with a 3.0 GPA overall and in URBST classes, you may be eligible to apply to our Accelerated MA in Urban Affairs program. Acceptance to the Accelerated MA program means that you can take up to 12 credits of graduate electives at the undergraduate tuition rate. These graduate electives will count toward your undergraduate major elective requirements AND the MA in Urban Affairs. Upon completion of the 120 credits required for the BA, you will need to complete four required graduate courses and two electives (if you take full advantage of the 12 credits of graduate electives as a undergraduate) which means you can earn two degrees - a BA and a MA - from Queens College. Application to the Accelerated MA requires a short personal statement, two letters of recommendation, and a copy of your transcript. We are also able to offer a small tuition scholarship for one semester, if you are accepted and enroll in our Accelerated MA program in Spring 2019. Please contact Professor Lee (at Do.Lee(a)qc.cuny.edu) or Professor Hum (at Tarry.Hum(a)qc.cuny.edu) for more information. ?

Corey Johnson and Ruben Diaz Jr. will visit the Queens College Department of Urban Studies this November! Corey Johnson, Speaker of New York City Council, will speak on Friday, November 16th. 4 pm Powdermaker 115 Corey Johnson was elected by his peers to serve as Speaker of the New York City Council on January 3, 2018. He was re-elected in 2017 with 94% of the vote to represent Council District 3. Raised in a union household where his mother, a homeless services provider, and his father, a Teamster, instilled in him the values of community service and political engagement, Corey came to national attention in 1999 when, as the captain of his high school football team, he took the courageous step of coming out publicly as gay. Corey's actions landed him on the front page of the New York Times and he began telling his story to audiences of young people across the country. He would later serve as chairperson of Manhattan's Community Board 4, becoming the youngest person to chair a community board in the five boroughs.? Ruben Diaz Jr., Bronx Borough President, will speak on Friday, November 30th. 3 pm Powdermaker 115 Ruben Diaz Jr. first entered public office as a member of the New York State Assembly in 1997, and is currently serving his third full term as Bronx Borough President, having been reelected in November 2017 with more than 88 percent of the vote. As borough president, Ruben Diaz Jr. has led the implementation of a robust agenda-on economic development, housing, health and wellness, education, and public safety-in every corner of the borough. He graduated from Lehman College, City University of New York, with a Bachelor's degree in political theory.

Ballot and Issue Information for New York City Voters! You can find out what specifically will appear on your ballot by typing your address into the search engine at Ballotpedia <https://ballotpedia.org/>. You'll see that there are three ballot measures in which you can help decide how to revise the New York City Charter (essentially New York City's constitution). For more information on these three measures about community engagement, campaign finance, and community boards, please go here: https://www.nyccfb.info/nyc-votes/vgwelcome/state-general-2018/ballot-propo… https://www.nyccfb.info/nyc-votes/vgwelcome/state-general-2018/ballot-propo… https://www.nyccfb.info/nyc-votes/vgwelcome/state-general-2018/ballot-propo… On your ballot, you will also see candidates for the New York State Senate, the New York General Assembly, the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, New York Governor, New York Attorney General, and New York Comptroller. Please read up on the individual candidates in your community. Finally, in New York State, some judges are appointed but others are elected. There will be many judges on your ballot. The New York City Bar Association has made a helpful list giving judges a rating of "Approved" or "Not Approved." The NYCBA has approved most of the judicial candidates, but not all, and you can print out this list of their grades and take it with you into your polling place. https://www.nycbar.org/media-listing/media/detail/new-york-city-bar-associa…
