Council Meeting

Some interesting notes from yesterday's Graduate Council meeting:

1) We are lucky to have some high calibre researchers in the filed to help out as adjunct professors in areas we are need their expertise.  We deeply appreciate their commitment and dedication to our students.  However, it was such a shock to learn another department has 114 adjuncts.

2) The Dean of the Graduate School will meet with BOA on the 11th, and BOT on the 17th.  Anything in particular you want her to pass to the two boards?

3) There are 101 graduate students studying at Hood College, coming from 21 countries.  In additional to international students who are mostly on full-time schedule due to immigration regulations, we have 55 domestic full-time students at this time.  Combined, full time students represents 42% of credits counts and 25% of FTE equivalent headcounts.  All while we do not have much resources specifically allocated to serve full time students.  We must change to adapt.

4) The Graduate School is having its web contents under its own control, or so we were told.

5) We would love to have current students, graduates and alums to step forward and help us in promoting our programs.
