1. Graduate Programs, The AAU and Faculty Mentoring of Graduate Students Department Chair’s Forum Winter Quarter, 2006 February 24, 2006

3. Why is it important that growth of the graduate student population has not kept pace with growth of the undergraduate population? Graduate students are the research engine of a research university. UCR aspires to become a major research university and a member of the AAU. Members of the AAU are all major research universities. To become a member of the AAU, UCR must have the profile of an AAU university. Doctoral education is a Phase II AAU membership indicator.
