The new procedures for formatting and submitting a thesis or dissertation have received final approval from the administration.
The procedures will be rolled out in a phased fashion to give students, faculty, and staff adequate time to prepare for the implementation.
Min Song, new chair of the Department of Computer Science and former program director at NSF, will give a research seminar on Monday, Nov. 24, in Rekhi 101 from 11 a.m. to noon. The talk will first explore the critical elements that could strengthen a research proposal and then illustrate a list of typical mistakes that PIs make. At the end of the presentation, samples of programs in the area of computer information science and engineering will be discussed.

Choosing an advisor is one of the most important decisions a graduate student makes in their career. Having an advisor whose goals support your aspirations is essential to ensuring your success as a student and young professional in your chosen field.
This article from the Journal of Higher Education illustrates some of the ways students can shape their advisor experience by putting their goals first and leveraging each other’s strengths to get the most out of the partnership. One idea, for example, is to ensure you get career feedback by asking for it. Although good advisors are willing to give this advice, most simply don’t have the time to plan to provide this feedback at regular intervals.
Graduate students and faculty teaching their first course will find this recent post from Tomorrow’s Professor a quick and interesting read. It offers practical advice on how to set up your class for success from day one, and gives advice on how to balance teaching with research responsibilities. It’s important to have balance in our careers, and advance planning is one part of it. Although everything about teaching a class can’t be planned in advance, the more advance planning you can do, the smoother your semester will be.
Are you planning on submitting a proposal to the NSF GRFP? Are you looking for external funding opportunities? If you answered yes to either of those questions, please join the Graduate School and the Graduate Student Council for a lunch and learn seminar on September 9th at noon.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science is pleased to announce that the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2018 Solicitation 1. Applications are due 5:00pm Eastern Time on Tuesday, May 15, 2018.
Detailed information about the program, including eligibility requirements and access to the online application system, can be found at: https://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/.
The SCGSR program supports supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory/facility in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist for a period of 3 to 12 consecutive months—with the goal of preparing graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission.
