proposed plans for the development of an annual award in three categories: dissertation, thesis, and capstone project (non-thesis culminating project). Nominations for the award would come from ETSU graduate faculty members. The awards would be reviewed by a subcommittee of the ETSU Graduate Council and the assistant dean of the School of Graduate Studies. The research awards would recognize outstanding graduate students for their achievements, increase profile of graduate education at ETSU, and help promote excellence in graduate education. After much discussion of the proposal, it was recommended that Dr. McIntosh revise the document and bring it back to the Council for consideration at the January 2005 meeting.
V. Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 2:15 p.m.
