Examples of Accomplishments Student Funding/Endowment Support • With feedback from faculty, created a tuition matching process to support doctoral students. Faculty who bring in outside stipend support for doctoral students, through either gifts, contracts, or grants now have tuition covered by the Graduate School, unless otherwise covered by the funding source. • Created the Marquette University/St. Norbert College Pathway Scholarship – Worked with University Advancement to solicit large gift to create the MU/SNC College Pathway Scholarship to increase mental health counselors throughout the state of Wisconsin. This pathway provides graduates of St. Norbert College scholarships of 50% or more when they are admitted and enroll in master’s level studies at Marquette in Behavior Analysis, Clinical Mental Health Counseling or School Counseling. • Created redistribution model for reallocating central TA/RA lines in a flexible, transparent way that was consistent with University strategic plan. • Developed advancement plan for the Graduate School in conjunction with the Office of University Advancement. Plan roll-out started in 2018 and fundraising hit all-time Graduate School high of $6 million in FY ’20. • Established first alumni-based Graduate School Leadership Council with University Advancement. There is a giving requirement for participation 3 and selection is based jointly on stewardship potential, interest in graduate education and skills/experiences of potential members. • Managed graduate student insurance issues through implementation of the Affordable Care Act. MU did not have the funds to fully cover TA/RA insurance, so efforts were made to create a supplemental stipend to offset health care costs and to leverage campus-wide health care resources for graduate students. • Tripled the number of doctoral diversity fellowships offered by MU. • Combined endowment funds that were too small to create meaningful awards into two fully funded centralized research fellowships that now provide 12 months of support to some of our strongest graduate student researchers • Set up summer research award program to help fund graduate students over the summer. The program is designed to provide summer support that allows students to prepare an application for funding from an outside source. • Provided start-up funding in the form of two graduate assistantships to the new Center for the Humanities at Marquette. • Developed new reduced tuition (low tuition, low discount) pricing model to support growth in the Humanities M.A. programs. Resulting enrollment increase was 20% in first year class of impacted programs. New Program Creation • Developed Program Incubator in 2017. The Incubator combines a University investment fund with an accompanying revenue share component that provides the seed support and incentive structures to encourage market-informed rapid program development. The Incubator has started several new programs and program development time trimmed from ~2 years down to 8-10 months. • Facilitated creation of stem-and-petal programs in data science, with a core certificate in Data Science (approved in 2017) and M.S. programs in Healthcare analytics (2017), Sports/Exercise Analytics (2018), Criminal Justice Analytics (2018), and Data Science (2020) building off that core • Facilitated creation of an interdisciplinary neuroscience Ph.D. program (2017) bringing together faculty in 7 departments and three colleges • Facilitated creation of new M.S. programs in Psychology (Applied Behavior Analysis; 2017); Supply Chain Management (2017); Corporate Communications (2017); Rehabilitation Counseling (2018); and a Ph.D. in Computer Science (2018) • Facilitated creation of MBA offering in online format • Facilitated creation of MS in Human Resources and Master’s in Leadership into new Master’s in Management • With nursing, worked with online program management company, Orbis Education to grow Direct Entry MSN program • Facilitated creation of >10 accelerated degree program (e.g., 4+1) options. 4 • New program growth has led to decade-high enrollment levels in the Graduate School Marketing and Recruitment • Reorganized Graduate School staff and functions to have a more visible outward presence. We went from a back-office unit on campus to a visible unit with a key role in campus growth • Signed with online program manager to better market and recruit for specific online graduate programs with high growth potential. This OPM contract allows MU to grow online graduate enrollments at a more rapid pace, while not taking the finanicial risk from a signficant upfront marketing and recruitment investment. • Quadrupled annual marketing budget for Graduate School ($50k to $200k) • Revamped Graduate School webpage for search engine optimization.
