2 Purpose of This Briefing Provide a Snapshot of the Graduate School as it is Today Explain How We Fund Graduate Students Present our Action Steps for School Year Present our Contribution to the Chancellor s Strategic Plan Respond to Your Questions 2

3 Our Vision will provide the best service possible to our graduate students and faculty by stimulating intellectual and creative growth, enforcing rigorous academic standards, and developing the most professional processing of admission applications and the maintenance of student records. We will also strive to create an intellectually diverse and international student body that is welcomed and nurtured by our University. We believe that graduate education is one of the keystones of our flagship status and we will work to insure that it contributes to the needs of the commonwealth, nation and world. In short, our intent is to assist in all activities that are designed to maintain and improve the intellectual and creative qualities of this special place. 3

4 Applying the Vision (Examples) A. Provide the Best Service We processed 9,100 applications last year. We will have all incoming graduate record transactions scanned by mid We no longer process credit cards by voice! The admissions process will be paperless by Fall All dissertations and theses are electronically submitted. We process 8000 graduate appointments worth more than $41,000,000. 4

5 B. Stimulating Intellectual and Creative Growth 1. We have brought more than 350 members together at Affinity Dinners to discuss new areas of knowledge. Examples: Islamic Studies Medieval Studies Film Studies Heritage Institute Springfield Initiative Native American Studies Qualitative Studies Family Studies Irish Peace Accord Symposia The Grateful Dead Symposia 5

6 2. Expected this Spring: Masters Degree Individual Concentration Environmental Studies Professional Science Masters Degree 6

7 3. We are expanding our Graduate Certificate Offerings. We currently have the fewest of our peer institutions. Through School Year we had certificates in Latin American, Cognitive and Women s Studies. In School Year , two were approved by the Graduate Council and went to the Faculty Senate. They are: Film Studies and Public History. This Spring, we will bring two more to the Graduate Council. They are: African Diaspora Studies and Social Justice Studies. 7

8 4. We are expanding our involvement in International Education and Research by: Forming an informal Graduate Education and Research Discussion Group Developing a Cotutelle Plan for joint international degrees Pursuing collaborative arrangements in China, India, and Italy 8

9 5. We are actively pursuing means to improve Graduate Student support with the Library by: Co-funding, with the Vice Chancellor for Engagement and Research, a Scholar Works Librarian Developing a Scholar Works protocol for students 9

10 6. We are fully funding the Graduate Student Grant Service (GSGS) It is staffed with two doctoral students. In School Year , the GSGS held 10 presentation meetings with students and faculty and 115 individual sessions. The GSGS stimulated more than $540,000 thousand dollars of funded proposals. 10

11 7. We continue to fund the Graduate Student Travel Grant Program through the Graduate Council in School Year We funded it via staff vacancy funds for more than $40,000. The average grant awarded was approximately $300. We funded 147 students. 11

12 C. Enforcing Rigorous Academic Standards Work with Graduate Council in Enforcing the Statute of Limitations Work with Graduate Council to Re-establish Graduate Faculty Status Inform the University Community about the rules and regulations concerning Probation, Suspension and Dismissal 12

13 D. Creating an Intellectually Diverse and International Student Body We have 692 African, Latino, Asian, and Native American (ALANA) students constituting 11.9% of the graduate student body. We have 1,261 international students from 95 countries constituting 21.7% of the graduate student body. We are expanding recruiting assistance to graduate programs. The Northeast Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (NEAGEP) program has been highly successful. 13

Our entering student Grade Point Averages from 2005 to 2008 have been steady at an average of 3.4. Our applications have increased from 2005 to 2008 by 13%. Our admissions have increased marginally from 2005 to 2008 by 4%. Our enrollment has increased marginally from 2005 to 2008 by 4%.

32 The Curriculum Fee Charge-Back: Notes There has been a decline in Research Assistantship Appointments by 12% between (244 students). There has been an increase in Post Doctoral Research Associates/Fellows by 26% (67 Post Docs). The Fee has had no discernable impact on Research: research activity has increased consistently throughout the period. There is no discernable decline in the funding of graduate students in this period: Students continue to find funding across campus (e.g. internships and externships). 32

33 The Curriculum Fee: Key Issues There is little understanding among faculty members of how the fee is being spent. The psychological reaction to the seven year 338% free standing increase of the per FTE charge has been significant. Given the cost of an RA, one can predict that the number of Post Docs will only increase. 33

34 Graduate School Fellowships ( ) Graduate School Fellowships Amount allocated: $275,100 stipends, $20,100 health fees Number of recipients: 20 Average amount allocated per student: $13,750 stipend; $1,000 health fees Average fellowship among our peers (websites) is $15,420 Number of recipients gaining additional funds: 12 Average amount of additional funds per student: $12,000 NEAGEP Fellowships (NSF/STEM) Amount allocated through Graduate School: $600,000 Number of recipients: 24 Average amount allocated per student: $25,000 ($22,000 stipend, $3,000 fees) Impacts We are not providing a competitive package for the very best students through the Graduate Student Fellowship Program 34

35 Action Plan for School Year Develop a plan to increase the hourly RA/TA rate such that it matches the average of our peers. 2. Discuss Changing the Graduate Fellowship Program with the Graduate Council such that it will guarantee funding for years one and five! 3. Increase the amount of Graduate Fellowships awarded per fellowship. 4. Gain approval for five certificate programs. 5. Implement a new statute of limitations protocol. 35

36 Action Plan for School Year (continued) 6. Bring Cotutelle options to the Faculty Senate 7. Implement a tracking system for all graduate students. 8. Implement a new Graduate Faculty Status Approval Process. 9. Hold two theme events with courses and symposia. 36

37 Points on the Table Concerning the Graduate School to the Strategic Plan Expanding Graduate Student Funding by becoming competitive with our peers Pursue funds through Development Targeting Resources to our best programs and those with promise Improve our Retention Rate Make better use of our resources via investment in IGERTS (and the like), development of certificates and sharing of faculty resources 37
