Currently the Graduate School enrolls more than 1800 students in over 50 programs leading to the PhD and in 19 programs leading to various master’s degrees. The Graduate School serves as one of the centers of support and development for professional students in the School of Law, John M. Olin School of Business, Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, James McKelvey School of Engineering, School of Medicine, Arts & Sciences, and the George Warren Brown School of Social Work. The Dean and Vice Provost for Graduate Education works with student organizations, faculty, graduate program directors, department chairs, other deans and executive officers to ensure sustained high quality programs leading to all PhDs and masters degrees. He serves as Chair of the governing bodies of the Graduate School including Curriculum, the Graduate Council, and Professional and Graduate Student Coordinating Committee. Accomplishments (Selected) • Co-established multi-school PhD pathway focused on data science building on faculty strengths in the George Warren Brown School of Social Work and in the departments of Computer Science and Engineering, Psychological and Brain Sciences, Mathematics, and Political Science. • Promoted the design of doctoral certificate programs to foster interdisciplinary academic programming and more synergy across departments—e.g., Early Modern Studies, Digital Humanities, and Quantitative Social Sciences. • Partnered with BJC HealthCare and Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College to establish a joint PhD with Washington University in St. Louis in nursing focused on omics science and bioinformatics. • Guided the development of joint graduate programs in Political Science (PhD)/Statistics (A.M.), Anthropology (PhD)/Public Health (MPH), Medicine (MD)/Philosophy (PhD), and Social Work (MSW)/Education (MAED). • Eliminated credit requirement for PhD. Policy change aims to renew focus on original discovery and creativity. • Created and co-established the mentored teaching experience (MTE) to replace teaching assistantships. The MTE describes the process of graduate students learning to teach in our academic programs. Analogous to the clinical mentoring program experienced in other professional fields, the MTE represents a collaborative mentoring process between graduate students and faculty members to reflect on and interpret disciplinary knowledge; find multiple ways to represent disciplinary content; adapt content to students’ abilities and prior knowledge; and 2 develop methods to assess and improve the teaching and learning process in a discipline. • Co-conceptualized and secured resources ($37 million) for a graduate and professional student residential housing complex dedicated to the Arts, design, creativity, and social entrepreneurship. This live and learn space responds to graduate students’ request for co-curricular and leadership development opportunities. • Supported the creation of a suite of leadership and professional development opportunities for all graduate students through the Liberman Graduate Center (e.g., Three Minute Thesis, Dine with the Dean, Leadership Seminar Series, Leadership Funding Competition, and Leadership Awards). • Developed and implemented a housing strategy to improve PhD students access to renovated housing contiguous to the Danforth Campus. Linked new and renovated housing with recruiting to ensure first year doctoral students transition well to St. Louis. International students receive additional support to find housing. • Co-Organizer, Promising Practice in Supporting Graduate and Professional Students Symposium (invited national conference hosted at Washington University in St. Louis). Conceived to model intellectual bridge building across academic and student affairs boundaries with the aim to improve the graduate education experience and related outcomes. • Launched and support a joint Humanities graduate student recruiting weekend. • Relaunched the Doctoral Hooding and Recognition Ceremony as an all campus event. • Implemented a common application process for doctoral programs in Arts & Sciences, School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences, and the Olin School of Business. • Proposed, co-developed, and instituted data infrastructure and system to track graduate school prospects, graduate admissions, student progress to degree, co- curricular experiences, career outcomes, and degree program costs. Created annual report for departments to support program improvement. - Faculty Steering Committee, Institute for Social Policy, (2018- ) - Professor and Interim Director (spring 2014), African and African American Studies Department, Arts & Sciences (2009- ) 3 - Faculty Fellow, Office of the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
