Each year at our End-of-Year celebration the English Department takes time to recognize the achievements of our students. On June 1st, 3-5pm, at the DePaul Art Museum, we will be honoring graduate students who earned distinction on their Comprehensive exams and/or are receiving their master’s degree “with distinction.”
We also want to recognize graduating students who have presented scholarly papers or given public readings of their creative work as well as those who have published their work, completed a thesis, or been accepted to a doctoral or M.F.A. program.
If you have accomplishments you want to have recognized at the English department celebration, please send them to the graduate office care of Jan Hickey at jhicke11@depaul.edu.
