| 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM | McGhee Prior Learning Assessment Information Session
In the Prior Learning Assessment Information Sessions, attendees learn the four ways that McGhee students may earn credit for their prior college-level learning. Topics covered will include foreign language proficiency, standardized testing (CLEP/Excelsior College/Advanced Placement exams), transfer credits, and credits earned through the portfolio process in McGhee's Seminar in Experiential Learning (attending this information session is a prerequisite for entering the seminar). The main focus of the assessment will be the prior college-level learning that adults have earned before returning to or starting college. Students will also be given the opportunity to ask questions related to individual academic circumstances.
The session will be held at 7. East 12th Street (between University Place and Fifth Avenue) in conference room 322. |
| 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM | Worldly Perspectives featuring Clifford Levy
In this popular and candid series that cuts to the heart of world affairs, Clyde Haberman, New York City columnist for The New York Times and veteran foreign correspondent, talks with renowned journalists. Avoiding sound bites and the clichés of studio-bound pundits, Haberman’s more leisurely approach consistently yields thoughtful conversation and insightful observations from many corners of the world.
Clifford J. Levy, Deputy Editor, The New York Times
Clifford J. Levy was named deputy editor of The New York Times's Metro section in March 2011. Previously, Mr. Levy was based in the Moscow bureau, most recently as Moscow bureau chief. He joined the bureau as Moscow correspondent in July 2006. He had been a special projects reporter for the Metro desk since 2000. Before joining the Metro desk, he served as chief of the paper’s Albany bureau and as a political reporter, City Hall correspondent and Newark correspondent. He joined The Times in 1990 as a news assistant, and was promoted to reporter in 1992. Before coming to The Times, Mr. Levy was a reporter for the New York bureau of United Press International.
Mr. Levy won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting, The Times’s first award in that category since it was created in 1985, for a three-part series that exposed the sometimes fatal neglect of mentally ill people in privately run adult homes regulated by New York State. Mr. Levy also received a George Polk Award for the series. In 1998 he won a Polk Award for articles on the campaign finance practices of prominent state officials in New York. In 2009, Mr. Levy was the International Print Winner for the RFK Journalism Awards for “Kremlin Rules,” a series about how Russia's leaders have eroded democracy and human rights. The Society of Professional Journalists awarded Mr. Levy the 2008 Sigma Delta Chi Award for Foreign Correspondence for the series, and he also won a 2009 EPpy Award in the category of best Web special feature enterprise. He won a third George Polk Award in 2010 for "Above the Law," a series about corruption and abuse of power in Russia two decades after the collapse of Communism.
