You probably came to UNT for a variety of reasons. We all did. Whether you were drawn by the growing research enterprise, proximity to the Dallas / Ft. Worth area, our beautiful campuses or individual relationships with faculty and other students, we all have one thing in common: we are part of UNT’s graduate student community.

The identity of this community is in constant flux. As the university’s priorities begin to materialize and programs evolve, the demographics and sensibilities of the graduate study body slowly shift.

Ten years ago, the average graduate student age was XX. Today it is XX. We have grown in number from XXXX in 2000 to XXXX in 2011. In 2000 XX% of us were in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics); today it’s XX%. Ten years ago XX% of us were full-time students; now XX% of us are full-time.In 2000 XX% of us were in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics); today it’s XX%.

New Beginnings

What does this mean? It means that in order to serve you effectively, the Graduate Student Council needs to evolve, too. The GSC has provided support to graduate students in the form of advocacy and professional development. For instance, if you would like to voice a concern or seek to change a university policy, we can help. And if you need financial assistance to travel to a conference to present your research, we co-sponsor a travel grant for which you can apply. These forms of support will continue to exist, but we’re adding something new.

This semester marks a fundamental change--a new beginning. The GSC is taking primary responsibility for the creation and facilitation of university-wide graduate student community.

Pockets of vibrant graduate student community already exist across campus. For instance, the Graduate Students in English Association and the Black Graduate Students Association are just two examples of organizations providing support and active local communities for their constituents. These organizations do a commendable job and will continue to thrive.

9

But the responsibility for university-wide graduate student community hasn’t been focused in a single organization--until now.

Why is university-wide graduate student community important? It means that we retain more intellectual capital. It means that UNT is a more attractive choice for future graduate students. It means that as the community grows in diversity and scope, opportunities for groundbreaking interdisciplinary research and creative works will emerge. It means that you will leave UNT not only with a degree, but with relationships that will be the foundation of your future success.

And as the national profile of UNT continues to grow, a cohesive graduate student community fuels the university’s strategic growth by providing a pool of talented researchers, increasing graduation rates, suppling a pipeline of innovative interdisciplinary research and attracting national publicity.

But creating community is not an easy task. Our initiatives will only be effective with your feedback and the continuing generous support of units across campus. You will periodically receive requests for feedback from the GSC. Please take a moment to tell us what you think. Your honest feedback is critical to our ability to effectively serve you.

The GSC sincerely thanks the Toulouse Graduate School, the Office of Research and Development, the Office of the Provost, Student Development and all other units and individuals across UNT who contribute to graduate student life.

Most of all--thank you! Thank you for being part of a dynamic community of graduate students--tomorrow’s business, intellectual and political leaders.

By the way...the footprints you see here belong to a brand new baby boy named Brian. But they are also our own. They symbolize our new beginning--the GSC’s formal commitment to graduate student community.

Have a wonderful year! We look forward to serving you.
