Graduate student lecturer nominations open
Each year the MSUM Graduate Council solicits and nominates one graduate student as Graduate Student Lecturer to the Deans’ Lecture Series. The lecturer is chosen based on the significance of their graduate research and potential contribution to their field of study.
Each graduate program may nominate up to two (2) current students and/or alumni who have completed their graduate program within the last year.
All graduate students will also receive an invitation to apply (self-nominate) for the lectureship.
The type of presentation by each nominee should reflect significant accomplishment during the nominee’s graduate studies at MSUM. It should also be germane to the field of study and may involve a formal lecture, creative presentation, performance, or some combination.
Nominees will be evaluated and ranked based on the following factors:
A. Content of nomination by the graduate faculty member or program
coordinator.
B. Content of letter of support from graduate faculty member.
C. Content of the nominee’s vita/resume’.
D. Apparent or demonstrated quality of the scholarship, creative materials or
performance.
E. The contribution to knowledge or understanding in the nominee’s field of
graduate study.
F. Broader audience interest in the topic or substance of the
lecture/presentation.
