Here you will find the latest information about special events sponsored by the Department: poetry and fiction readings, faculty and guest lectures, open house events and holiday parties. We will also use the blog to post announcements of other important events and dates for your calendar.
In the sidebar at the right, you can search for past announcements about particular types of events, arranged according to their labels (i.e., tags, but Blogger calls them labels). Other labels will be added as necessary but as of today's date, these are the labels:
Advisement: Information for undergraduate English majors about registration, advisement, and mentoring.
Downtown Brooklyn: The literary magazine of the Brooklyn Campus, published by the English Department.
Edelman Prizes: Annual prizes given for the best essays written in undergraduate English classes.
English Club: For majors and non-majors interested in English, the English Club hosts regular literary and professional events.
English Department Faculty Forum: Works in Progress: An opportunity for English Department faculty to circulate their research among their English Department colleagues.
(Note: The English Department Faculty Forum program is separate from the Brooklyn Campus Faculty Forum program, which is hosted by The Richard L. Conolly College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and features presentations by faculty from across the disciplines.)
