4.2 Ensuring graduate programs/departments have to tools to manifest inclusive excellence

4.3 Leveraging Graduate School programming and resources like Office of Graduate Student Affairs, Office of Graduate Student Equity & Excellence, and the Excellence in Graduate Education Tool

3.2 Accountability for mentorship successes and failures

3.3 The role of PhD students as mentors for undergraduates (as distinct from an instructional role as ASEs)

2.2 Providing students with “soft skills” on issues like communication, leadership, project management, etc.

2.3 How can we enhance the educational and professional development of graduate students through their involvement in the UW’s instructional mission?

1.2 Ensuring that PhD curricula, milestones, co-curricular requirements are aligned, relevant, and prepare students for the future (including rethinking what a dissertation looks like)

1.3 What type of flexibility should be built into a PhD education; what experiences and requirements are applicable to the diversity of the student body or what are not

1.4 Metrics we need to develop and monitor to assess our success and inform a cycle of continuous improvement (e.g. time-to-degree, funding, publication milestones)

1.5 (Open science and scholarship; responsible research)

5.2 Exploring differential tuition for predoctoral students who are no longer taking courses.  In an era of decreased funding for sponsored research this would allow the limited research dollars to go further and support more students.
