Core MA Faculty and Staff
MA Director of Graduate Studies: Professor John Shovlin (john.shovlin@nyu.edu)
The Director of Graduate Studies is responsible for the overall management of the MA in History Program. The DGS is the final arbiter of the regulations of the program, which are outlined in the bulletin of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The DGS has the authority to make exceptions to departmental regulations. The DGS does not, however, have the authority to make exceptions to GSAS rules. The DGS can petition on behalf of the student, but such exceptions, including extensions of time to degree, late completion of incompletes, or missing any other deadline of the Graduate School, are in the prerogative of the Dean of the Graduate School and the sub-deans.
Graduate Program Administrator: Chelsea Rhodes (chelsea.rhodes@nyu.edu)
The day-to-day administration of the program is the responsibility of the Graduate Program Administrator. Questions a student may have about rules, deadlines, grant opportunities, or minor bureaucratic problems should be directed to the Program Administrator. If the issue or problem requires faculty advice or approval, the Program Administrator will advise the student to talk either with her or his advisor or the DGS. The Program Administrator is also the communications center for the department. Make sure that the Program Administrator has your current mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses. The Program Administrator can also direct students to funding opportunities, job notices, and the like.
Graduate Program Assistant: Fatouma Keita (fatouma.fabindy.k@nyu.edu)
The Department Assistant is responsible for the practical aspects of registration: providing registration materials and the permission codes by which students officially register. The Department Assistant helps maintain student records and information for the Graduate Program Office, including rosters, listservs and keeping the website up to date.
