- Graduate Catalog Moving to Courseleaf Platform for 2024-25
The Graduate School, in collaboration with the Registrar’s Office, is in the process of implementing the Graduate Catalog in CourseLeaf, the new program and curriculum database already in use for the Undergraduate Catalog and curriculum inventory management. As a result, the graduate catalog revision process will be different this year. We will distribute a questionnaire to all academic programs during the week of May 13 with a deadline to submit program details by June 28. Based on these submissions, the Graduate School will enter content in CourseLeaf. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please contact Dr. Bill Huckle, wrhuckle@vt.edu.
- National Name Exchange Invitation
The Graduate School wishes to solicit your assistance in identifying domestic URM students to invite to participate in the National Name Exchange. The NNE program aims to help underrepresented undergraduate and master’s students learn about, apply to, and matriculate into graduate programs. The students considered “underrepresented” by NNE are racial and ethnic minorities, first-generation students, veterans, women in STEM fields, rural students, students with disabilities, and students from low-income backgrounds. Students are nominated to participate by their current institution but they need to take the steps to accept the invitation. The benefit for students is to support them in their process of considering and applying to graduate school. In full transparency, the benefit for Virginia Tech is that once two students from VT have enrolled, VT gains access to the entire list of students and can participate in targeted recruitment. The link for students to use to enroll is: https://cgsnet.org/national-name-exchange-for-students-enrollment-form#/webform/nne-profile.
