- Designation of an administrative designated position for facilitating and assisting graduate students students and faculty to search out and compose applications for fellowships and grants
- Reallocation of effort to attain faculty-driven training grants that support groups of students.
3) Graduate Student Recruiting:
Re-examination of the Teaching Assistant (TA) system and Case Prime Fellowships will be vital to creating a funding safety net needed to acquire and retain top talent. Additionally, the GSC has reviewed innovative approaches to graduate student recruiting in several departments |
