Colleagues,
The “College Policies for Graduate Education” Task Force will host two open forums, May 13 and May 14, to allow participants to share their enthusiasm on what is working well in graduate education within the College and to solicit suggestions for potential new College policies in graduate education.
The sessions will include a 20 minute open discussion on the following topics:
- Diversity, equity and inclusion in graduate education
- Student recruitment and retention, and time-to-degree
- Graduate student satisfaction, success and productivity
- Student training and readiness for future employment
- Graduate student support and funding
Please plan to attend one of the following sessions:
Thursday, May 13, 2021
2 to 4 p.m.
Advanced registration is required
Friday, May 14, 2021
10 a.m. to noon

(Note: The same topics will be discussed on both dates to allow for as much participation as possible.)
These open forums are intended for stakeholders in the College’s graduate education, including faculty (junior and senior), academic heads, graduate students, academic advisors, OGAPS, Center for Teaching Excellence and administration.
