We’re planning to hold a faculty-led orientation for recently-admitted graduate English students (and other continuing students who feel that they could benefit from such an orientation) on Zoom on Thursday 9/7 at 6pm eastern. Attendance by our incoming students is strongly recommended, though we understand that not everyone will be able to make that day or time. Some of the faculty teaching this fall, including the Program Director of MA in English Lit, as well as the Chair of the Department of Literature & Language, will be present. So you’ll get to meet some of your fall-semester professors in person (virtually speaking), will be able to ask questions about the program or specific fall courses, and will hear advice and info from faculty and others. We’ll be reaching out to incoming students soon via email with information for how to attend. Continuing students who are interested in attending should contact cloots@mercy.edu.
