Asian Studies End of September Updates

As we head into October, the days are noticeably shorter and some of the trees in the area are starting to change. We might not have a famous centuries-old Buddhist temple platform from which to watch the leaves change, like Kiyomizu-dera, but we hope that you'll get an opportunity to go out and enjoy some of the local autumn splendor near you! 

Thank You!

Thank you to those who joined us for last week's conversation with Mary Popeo! We'll have more invited speakers throughout the semester - keep an eye on our calendar here on myUMBC, or on our website, for more information! 

Thank you, too, to those who entered our t-shirt design contest! Our celebrity judge, Dr. Jacob, will review the entries and we'll announce the winner soon. 

Princeton University Graduate Programs Info Session

Are you thinking about grad school? ...not sure if you're thinking about grad school? Together with the Asian Studies Council of Majors, we'll welcome Dr. Anna Shields, Professor of Chinese Studies and Chair of Princeton's East Asian Studies Department, to campus at noon on Friday, October 1, to learn about available graduate opportunities. 

Princeton offers a variety of options, including their graduate program and the Princeton in Asia fellowships - the session will be an excellent opportunity to ask Dr. Shields for insight and information. We'll have refreshments and other giveaways for those joining us in person, and will also stream the event online for those who can't make it to campus. For more info, check out the myUMBC post!
