Integrated Graduate Enrollment Management Plan
Charge
The expanded campus workgroup on graduate education is charged with developing a comprehensive graduate enrollment plan that is aligned with the University Strategic Enrollment Plan 2018-2023 and the actions contained in the University Strategic Directions 2016-2021. The group is expected to deliver a draft document that includes the goals, objectives, and actions required to meet graduate enrollment targets; increase the diversity of the graduate population; expand the reach and impact of the University's graduate programs regionally, nationally, and internationally; promote and market graduate programs, and enhance the services and support provided to graduate students and faculty.
Additionally, the workgroup will review the awarding, funding, and oversight of graduate assistantships and recommend any needed changes to ensure the awards are competitive, contribute to student development, and are aligned with institutional priorities. As noted in the Graduated Assistant policy, assistantship awards are intended to elevate the quality and scope of graduate education at the University by (a) attracting high-quality students to graduate programs, (b) providing full-time graduate students with valuable educational and professional experiences related to their degree program to enhance their graduate education, and (c) providing faculty and staff assistance in carrying out special projects or other assignments that require the advance discipline skills of graduate students.
