The Master's College announces the Master's Seminars: Master the Road Ahead.

Master's Seminars- Master the Road Ahead
Spend Tuesdays this Fall with the Master’s College honing your skills for success in graduate school. This series features topics of particular interest to graduate students aiming for excellence in scholarship and beyond. Taught by experts in the field, topics include research techniques, grant writing and review, resume building and interviewing skills and more. To register for one or more of these workshops send an email to gsas.masterscollege.rsvp@nyu.edu. Light refreshments will be served. All Master’s Seminars will be held at 19 University Place on the first floor.

Ask not what your city can do for you- ask what you can do for your city. New York City is an amazing place to get involved serving a myriad of populations. Join representatives from New York Cares, Youth Challenge International, International Rescue Committee and others to discuss easy ways to get involved. They will explore ways to volunteer for a day, once a week, once a year and how to impact your community.

Master’s College Program Board
Do you want to take an active role in shaping the types of events and programs offered by the GSAS Master’s College? The Master’s College is looking for Master’s students to form a program board to do just that. If you’d like to become involved send an email to masterscollege@nyu.edu.

Guantanamo Bay- Archives and Memory

The Archives and Public History Brown Bag Lunch Series continues next Friday, November 6. This session will feature a discussion of public memory surrounding Guantánamo Bay. We will focus on New York University’s Tamiment Library and Seton Hall University’s Center for Policy and Research's new project to document, preserve, and make accessible the legal records and the human stories of the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp. The Guantánamo documentation project is co-directed by Mark Denbeaux, professor of law at Seton Hall University Law School and director of the Center for Policy and Research; Jonathan Hafetz, adjunct professor of law at Seton Hall; and Michael Nash, director of the Tamiment Library and co-director of the Frederic Ewen Academic Freedom Center at NYU. The International Sites of Conscience has also partnered with the project and Liz Sevcenko will discuss its Guantánamo Public Memory Colloquium and working group, “Remembering Guantánamo, 1898-Tomorrow.”

Please bring a brown bag lunch. Complimentary drinks and desserts will be provided.

In order to assure we have enough chairs and desserts, please RSVP to Keara Duggan kearaduggan@gmail.com by Tuesday, November 4, 2009
