Committee on Graduate Education

Academic Year 2022-2023

Overview: The Committee on Graduate Education met a total of 7 times during Fall 2022 and Spring 2023.

We agreed to hold all meetings on Zoom for safety and convenience of accommodating members’ schedules.

Committee members: Shawn Morrison (Chair; French, Francophone, and Italian Studies),  Roxane DeLaurell (Accounting and Business Law), Behrang Forghani (Mathematics); Maureen Hays (Sociology and Anthropology); Brennan Keegan (Secretary, Religious Studies), Christine Moore (Computer Science), Matthew Nowlin (Political Science).

Ex-Officio: Kameelah Martin (Graduate Dean), Keonya Booker (Associate Graduate Dean), Mark Del Mastro (Associate Provost), Aimee Pfeiffer (Registrar), Divya Bhati (Institutional Effectiveness).

Activities of the Committee :  The committee reviewed multiple proposals, including those for a new Ed.D. All proposals passed at the level of the Senate.

 We implemented the suggestion from last year’s committee, to ask proposal initiators to present their proposals briefly to the committee before the committee begins their discussion.
