Report of the Vice Provost for Graduate AffairsÌý
Dr. Dan Hammel, Interim Vice Provost for Academic Affairs provided the following updates:Ìý

  • Appreciation to Executive Committee of the Graduate Council (GCEC)Ìý
    Appreciation was extended to the members of the GCEC for the work they have done on behalf of graduate faculty and the Graduate Council.Ìý
  • Appreciation to Curriculum and Membership CommitteesÌý
    Appreciation to Dr. Timothy Mueser, Chair of the GC Curriculum Committee and Dr. Svetlana Beltyukova, Chair of the Graduate Faculty Membership Committee for their leadership on these committees that conduct a lot of business and thanks to the committee members as well.Ìý And Terri Hayes for her work in making these meetings run.ÌýÌý
  • Graduate Curriculum/Program ReviewÌý
    Admissions in several programs were suspended, many of which were curricular clean up. In some instances, we essentially suspended admissions in one program but also created one or multiple concentrations in other programs. There were a lot of changes. Thanks and appreciation was extended to everyone involved for their efforts. Most of these changes should be in the catalog for the next academic year 2024-2025.Ìý
  • Graduate Student Commencement – Friday, May 3, 2024, 6:00 pm in Savage ArenaÌý
    Line up in Fetterman Training Center. COGS and Registrar staff will be there to assist.Ìý
    This may be our last graduate student-only ceremony, due to fewer number of undergraduates graduating and the cost for multiple ceremonies, as we are now four years out from when classes started getting smaller. If we can maintain a separate ceremony, we would like to do so.ÌýÌý
  • Impacts of Reducing Graduate FundingÌý
    To make clear the unintended repercussions, we would like to gather data through Institutional Research in this regard:Ìý
    • Ph.D. enrollment and graduation and impacts on R1 status.Ìý
    • Expand graduate enrollment
      Ìý -Ìý We have immensely successful pilot program to waive the out-of-state surcharge for students pursuing master’s degrees.Ìý Ìý Ìý Ìý We can demonstrate that it has been financially successful. These students are paying in-state tuition and would not haveÌý Ìý Ìý Ìý been able to attend without that program.
      Ìý -Ìý
      We would like to expand the range of master’s that can operateÌý without funding their students. Dr. Hammel will be
      Ìý Ìý Ìý working with the college associate deans to identify those programs ways to have be successful non-funded programs. Ìý
  • Mentoring for Faculty and Graduate StudentsÌý
    COGS does not presently have capacity to help faculty be better mentors to graduate students. Some of our previous efforts, such as Responsible Conduct in Research training for graduate students, has provided a start in this direction and is something we can build upon. This is particularly timely in light of the fact that National Science Foundation has instituted aÌý new set of requirements for graduate student mentoring, that Dr. Schall will likely speak to.
    NIH and others are likely to follow. This is an opportunity to make improvements in graduate student mentoring overall. Ìý

Report of the Vice President for ResearchÌý
Dr. Connie Schall, Vice President for Research, informed Council that she would discuss and coordinate with Dr. Hammel the resources for faculty as it relates to new requirements for individual professional development plans from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The goal is to point faculty to good resources.Ìý

Process for Populating Standing Committees for 2024-2025Ìý
GC Vice Chair oversees this process. Committee Chairs, once established, reach out their current membership to determine if they will stay in positions, they can assist. The committees do not have to be populated from Graduate Council, however, however, Graduate Council members should be the first to step up if there openings. Hope to populate very early in fall semester. Some years easier than others.ÌýÌý

Discuss Meeting Logistics (In-Person/Virtual/Hybrid)Ìý
For 2023-2024 Council decided to hold all meetings virtually, which worked well. Chair Saltzman stated that her opinion is that hybrid doesn’t work that well, and suggested In-Person or Virtual.ÌýÌý

Discussion:Ìý

  • Dr. Dan Hammel added GSA to meet in person at least once per semester, once on MC and once on HSC.
  • Chair Saltzman noted that the prior year 2022-2023 while most meetings were held virtually, some were held in person/hybrid when the President and Provost attended Council as guest speakers. And we could do virtual for the other meetings.
  • One option could be one in fall and one in spring could be in-person (not hybrid).Ìý
  • Hybrid meetings had about half attendance in person and half were remote.
  • Attendance is challengingÌý
  • Some Council members also serve on Faculty Senate, so attending in person can be challenging.Ìý

Ìý[Motion to continue meetings virtually for 2024-2025. No further discussion of the motion. Motion seconded. Motion passed unanimously.]Ìý

Next meeting will take place in Fall 2024 (schedule to be determined).Ìý
