The Graduate Council
About the Graduate Council
The Graduate Council was formed to enable a cadre of faculty with significant experience
and achievement in graduate education to assist in the review and implementation of
campus graduate studies issues. Working with the Dean of the Graduate School, the
Graduate Council serves to assess and implement initiatives that foster successful
graduate education involving faculty and students. In addition to serving as an advisory
body, the members of the Graduate Council make recommendations on policies for the
Graduate School.
Members of the Graduate Council are appointed for three-year terms by the Provost
and Vice President for Academic Affairs in consultation with the Dean of the Graduate
School and the deans of the academic colleges. The appointment of college representatives
is made on a staggered basis to maintain continuity of experience.
The Graduate Council meets at a minimum once per month.
Graduate Faculty Recommendations
If a graduate faculty appointment request is being made, a Graduate Faculty Recommendation Form should be used. Each completed form should be accompanied by a letter of nomination
from the appropriate program or school director as well as a copy of the nominee's
curriculum vitae.
