Media, Morality and the Middle East: A Conversation with Congressman Anthony Weiner

Kimmel 802

Thursday, April 28th 7:30 pm

Doors open at 7:00. RSVP required.

Come hear Anthony Weiner speak about the effect that the media's portrayal of Israel has on American legislation. Anthony Weiner, a New York Congressman whose district includes parts of Brooklyn and Queens has been an incredible friend to Israel since he won the election for the House seat in 1999. He has been a strong source of support for pro-Israel legislation, including the foreign aid bill and enforcing tougher sanctions on Iran. Anthony Weiner's experience as a fighter for the U.S. - Israel relationship will provide us insight to the effect that the media tends to have on American public sentiment toward Israel and therefore the legislation that is able to pass in Congress.

To register please send an email to annie.peck@nyu.edu with ANTHONY WEINER in the subject line. We hope to see you there!

This event is co-sponsored by the Selma Ruben Distinguished Lecture Series, Violets for Israel and the Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life at NYU

This Friday! Ph.D. Application Workshop

Ph.D. Application Workshop
Friday, April 29, 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Draper Map Room

Led by Professors Rebecca Colesworthy and Nina Hien

This workshop is a mini-orientation session geared towards students who are either considering a Ph.D. or those who are already in the early stages of the application process. It is also relevant to students who are interested in general information regarding doctoral degrees and those who need some guidance as to what they should be prepared for in terms of the application process. Some general issues that will be tackled are:

* How do I know if a PhD is right for me?

* Setting realistic expectations of the PhD process and future career trajectories.

* Choosing a department as well as a university that is a good fit for me.

*What to expect in terms of the contents and deadlines for a PhD application.

* Using Draper as a resource for making decisions about a PhD and a career in academia.

We encourage all Draper students who are interested in future doctoral studies and have questions regarding the same to attend this workshop.

Let us know you're coming! RSVP to draper.program@nyu.edu.
