Special Notice Re: AWP Conference in NYC!

FROM PROFESSOR HAHN:

By now, everyone should have a copy of The Writer’s Chronicle and know why the Association of Writers & Writing Programs is relevant to our writing community. As part of my project to organize the CUNY MFA programs, Queens College will receive 14 complimentary student registration passes for the conference, held Jan. 30-Feb. 2 at the Midtown Hilton Hotel.

In return, students will be asked to sign up for a few hours of volunteer work, like stuffing envelopes or sitting in the CUNY booth at the Bookfair. Otherwise, the cost of student registration is $40. If more than 14 of you are interested in attending, I will hold a lottery.

Please contact me by October 1: kimiko.hahn@qc.cuny.edu.
