II. New Business – Proposed process change
1. Require an abstract in the application and a photo to be taken at the review meeting.
Rationale Many of our graduate students are engaged in fascinating projects. In an effort to
raise the profile of the funded projects, we would like to create a public report that briefly describes the research and the student. The report would list all funded projects with a brief abstract and a photo of the student applicant. As part of the application, each student would be asked to provide a project abstract that would be readable by the general public. Also, the review committee would take a photo when the student applicant meets with them. The student applicant may also provide a photo for consideration as a substitute photo. The Graduate Student Research committee would assemble the report and share it with the Graduate Council.
