Advising Information for Current CL MS Students
Each semester, there are set office hour times when Computational Linguistics MS Students can bring their questions, problems, or feedback to their advisors. This includes questions about curriculum and course selection, degree requirements, issues you're having in a class or in school, career planning, planning for PhD study, Exit Requirements, and anything else you'd like to ask about or discuss. The advising office hour schedule for this semester is listed lower on this page.
In addition, Amy Smack in the Division of Science Graduate Affairs Office is available on campus and by email and Zoom. Please email Amy at amysmack@brandeis.edu or scigradoffice@brandeis.edu (the Division of Science Graduate Affairs Office email) with questions, or to schedule a time to meet, in person or by Zoom. The Graduate Affairs Office can provide you with information related to your academic records, campus resources, and administrative questions.
For all forms, academic advising questions, administrative questions, and when you’re not sure who to ask, please email clms-advising-group@brandeis.edu, which sends an email to Professor Sophia Malamud, CL MS Director of Graduate Studies; Professor Lotus Goldberg, CL MS Vice Chair and advisor; and Amy Smack.
Finally, for career advising, including questions about finding internships and jobs, resume review, offers and negotiation, and preparation for industry receptions, please see Spring 2025 Career Advisor (and CL MS alum!) Jamie Brandon (jbrandon@brandeis.edu).
- Jamie's regular career advising office hours this term are held on Zoom, and by appointment, most Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-5:30pm.
- To sign up for one or more back-to-back 15 minute appointments (depending on how much time you need), visit Jamie's appointment page.
