Project Title: Recruiting Graduate Students

Abstract: Becoming a national university of choice requires the visibility that only a strong research and graduate program can bring. We propose to expand current efforts to recruit graduate students. We will develop a on campus visitation program for grad students similar to one piloted by the College of Engineering. We will improve the recruiting resources including web pages, brochures, and posters.

We will develop and pilot presentations to be used for recruiting visits at regional universities. We will identify and bring representatives from these universities to campus.

A second phase involves improving the condition of graduate students. Some issues to be resolved are stipends, teaching loads, health care, faculty mentoring and general quality-of-life issues. The Graduate Faculty Council will act as the working group's advisory board.
