Hello, friends:
It's too cold/grey/rainy/snowy (you choose the adjective) to play outside! Why not come meet with the Undergraduate English Society for a talk and presentation on The History and Art of the Graphic Novel? Professor Carol Tyler (DAAP) and UC grad. student Kate Polak (English) will be sharing some of their knowledge and ideas about the graphic novel with the UES next Tuesday afternoon. This is a first-time collaboration between DAAP and the English Department, as well as the first public presentation and discussion on the graphic novel for undergraduates in the English program, and we're excited to present it.
The Nitty Gritty:
Tuesday, February 5th, at 3:30pm
ROOM 43, McMicken Hall
This should be a fun educational experience, and you should feel free to take notes and ask questions--or to just watch and learn.
Carol Tyler's graphic novel will be available at this event for $25 (Regularly $29)

Welcome to the Undergraduate English Society Blog
We are the UC Undergraduate English Society, and we are forming in hopes of creating a network of students to help and encourage one another
in our cultural and academic interests.
We will work to bring experts to campus to talk about what to do with your English degrees, how to prepare for Grad School, how to get published and the like. We will also go on "field trips," including local shows, plays, and other events outside of the University. We will host readings for undergraduate creative writers. We hope to have workshops which will help those who need critiques for revisions before submitting work for publication as well as for academic papers.
Meeting for the group will be held the third Friday of every month. We hope to hear from those of you who are interested in joining beforehand so we can add you to our list serve and keep you posted on upcoming events and agendas.
Coming up soon:
** The last week of October, (exact date and location yet to be determined) we'll host a discussion with Graduate students and Faculty on getting into and maximizing your time in Graduate School. This informal but informative discussion will serve to help undergraduates learn about what to expect, what to avoid, and what to do when preparing for and entering into Graduate programs in English studies.
** And on Oct. 28-Nov.3, there will be a book festival called Books By the Banks. As stated at their website:
Books by the Banks will feature author readings, panel presentations, workshops, interviews, children's events, school related activities and entertainment, culminating in a successful one day celebration on November 3, 2007.
See their Web page at http://www.cincinnatilibrary.org/news/2007/booksbythebanks.html for more information. Please also note that Brock Clarke will be speaking on a panel of four authors. From the Books by the Banks website:
** Also coming up soon: A group trip to see Twelfth Night at CCM and a talk-back with the director, for those who can join us, on Thursday, November 1. The discussion will take place somewhere on or near campus, location yet to be determined. We have a limited number of group tickets (available on a first come, first served basis) so reply ASAP to reserve your seat. If you do not get a spot with the group, don't worry. Tickets to studio productions are FREE, so just call or stop by the CCM box office in the CCM atrium lobby (556-4183) beginning October 29 at noon to get your own ticket. For any further information regarding this event or other CCM-related inquiries, please contact Ann Kasprzak at ann.kasprzak@gmail.com.
The UC Undergraduate English Society is a student run organization, no pressure and plenty of benefits. If you think the Undergraduate English Society can be of use to you, please send an email to Charlene Thompson, Secretary, at charlene.luck@gmail.com or talk to Jay Twomey, faculty advisor, email at jay.twomey@uc.edu.
For those of you who are interested, check out our blog at http://ucues.blogspot.com/ where we will be posting updates on upcoming events as well as other group-related materials.
Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you.
