As I complete my first year as Chancellor, I am pleased to report that there are numerous key initiatives underway as we plan for the future of SIUE, including a recent update to the University’s Strategic Plan, an increased focus on internationalization, the renewal of the academic and enrollment plans, and the implementation of SIUE’s first Diversity Plan. A significant step toward enhancing the alumni experience was the discontinuation of Alumni Association membership dues. The new, inclusive Association will allow you to connect with even more fellow alumni as the University provides you with expanded benefits and services. Here are some other recent University achievements: • The Illinois Board of Higher Education approved the Health Care Informatics master’s degree program last fall. The program brings together computer technology and clinical expertise to meet a growing need in hospitals and healthcare organizations. • The College of Arts and Sciences is leading a partnership initiative between SIUE and the University of Havana in Cuba through the Cuban & Caribbean Center. The institutions will collaborate on a variety of exchanges, including courses from a number of fields, research, academic projects and opportunities for guest scholar visits. • An International Education Plan has been developed over the past two years and is now in the implementation stage to increase the number of students who study abroad, as well as the number of international students at SIUE. • In fall 2012, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) named the SIUE School of Pharmacy as one of only 12 National Centers of Excellence in Pain Education, making it the only such Midwest NIH designated center. • The SIUE School of Education partnered with Northwest Normal University in China last fall to provide faculty development in U.S.-style pedagogy for faculty members.

  • Graduate School Thesis Guidelines
    Guidelines for the Preparation of a Thesis/Dissertation/ Doctoral Research Project A Publication of the Graduate School Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Edwardsville, Illinois August 2021 INTRODUCTION The successful completion of a thesis/dissertation/doctoral research project is the culmination of a student’s work in fulfilling the requirements for a graduate degree at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. The process is demanding, rigorous, time-consuming, challenging, and, sometimes, discouraging. It is also one of the most rewarding aspects of graduate study because it is your topic, your proposal, your research, and your writing. These guidelines are prepared by the Graduate School as one resource in helping you achieve the standards expected for an academic work. Please work closely with your committee chair and the rest of your committee. Remember that these guidelines are exactly that. They are not intended to supersede the suggestions, recommendations, and requirements presented by your committee. Consult with your committee to determine if you will be following formatting for the manuscript thesis or the traditional thesis. Consult with your committee to determine if any particular style is preferred. Some departments will require a specific style while others will leave that decision to the discretion of the student. Examples of style manuals include, among others, Turabian, the American Psychological Association, and the American Institute of Biological Sciences, the Modern Language Association, and the University of Chicago Press. Whatever style is selected, familiarize yourself with its requirements and be consistent within that style. A thesis/dissertation/doctoral research project is an academic work; as such, creative use of bold and italics and dramatic changes in point size are discouraged even though word processing packages provide some interesting temptations.
