Highlighted by Area – The graduate school went through an internal assessment process at the beginning of fall 2017. This activity resulted in an extensive list of project goals. Below is a summary of some of the major accomplishments by the graduate school during my term as Interim Dean.

Professional Development • Significant increase in professional development programing for all graduate students – for

example offered a 2-day intensive professional development Fall Blitz which generated over 900 registrations for over 60 workshops (many of these new) in just 2 days.

• To reduce the load on the EVPRP, we coordinated a series of 3 grant writing workshops per semester, funneling interested students from all departments to these 6.

• To meet the needs of distance, online, regional and non-traditional students, we have targeted a selected group of workshops for online delivery, which will be released for our fall lineup.

• Launched a “Say it in Six” competition to recognize graduate student lives, contribution to research, and connection to the community. “Say it in Six” will be the cornerstone of our marketing effort to promote graduate education and the graduate experience across campus and the community.

• Hosted 1-day Diverse Career Day Workshop with an alumni panel helping graduate students explore alternative exciting careers, skill building to translate and demonstrate transferable skills, and how to prepare for communication skills outside academia.

Postdoc Services • Expanded professional development and services. More than doubled the funding for travel

grant opportunities to over $75,000 per year. Funded participation in the SPS new faculty grantmanship workshop; and paid for postdoc registration at the Pre-Tenure Conference for Women. A survey of current postdocs will be used to guide the formation of a new postdoc office within the graduate school.


• Created mentoring award for postdocs to recognize the mentoring work they do for graduate and undergraduate students.

• Provide career development services specifically for the postdoc population. Graduate Student Support

• Created Graduate Parent Support Network (GPSnet) to support graduate students who have or will have children.

• Funded eligible childcare grants and travel grants that PGSG was not able to fund with their budget, allowing more students to be supported. Awarded 91 need based scholarships, nearly all worth $2000 to doctoral students holding 50 CUL. Half the funding came from 7 participating colleges.

• Created an Office of Graduate Assistance and Conflict Resolution (OGACR) to expand the functions of the existing Ombuds Office. We have added mediation services to improve academic success of all those involved in graduate education.

• Created mentoring award for graduate students to recognize the mentoring work they do for other graduate students and undergrads.

• As requested by graduate students and PGSG, a task forced investigate the S/U requirements for research credit. As a result, the Graduate Council passed a procedure for documenting the requirements for grades. This is now part of the electronic form for registration.

• Initiating a system wide annual recognition of graduate education banquet to recognize the accomplishments of outstanding graduate students and those involved in graduate education.

Fellowship Office • Created an electronic form 90 (fellowship assignment) which has considerably reduced

processing times and business office errors. • Changed the fellowship distribution to college procedure which allowed earlier distribution of

funds to units for earlier decision availability. Office of Graduate Records

• To simplify and streamline forms: removed Processor signature from exam request form (reducing signatures from 5 to 4); removed Dean of Collee from Plans of Study for the College of Agriculture; Changed “Faculty Participation Acknowledgements” elements on Plans from a signature to a notification of emails, allowing heads and chairs to remain informed without requiring additional signatures on plans.

• Adjusted Graduate School Database to allow PNW and IUPUI campuses to transition to electronic exam forms and audits.

• Created Graduate School Toolkit for grad staff professional development; created grad staff instructional manuals; created 4 tutorial videos

Office of Graduate Admissions • Launched the Midwest Graduate and Professional Summit for students interested in graduate

education in liberal arts business, education and professional degrees. Funded our non-STEM Diversity Visitation Students to remain on campus for the weekend to attend this event.

• In partnership with the Graduate Student Center initiated on-request campus walking tours to prospective graduate students and other campus visitors connected to graduate education.

• To engage faculty in recruitment, both the Office of Graduate Admissions and the Office of Graduate Diversity Initiatives now invite and support graduate faculty to participate at selected campus, regional, and national graduate recruitment events

• Using big data, we developed an innovative tool for predicting admission outcomes. We hope that the tool will be used by faculty to enable a greater understanding of how Fall 2016 application credentials contribute to the probability of an admit, accept, or an enroll outcome;


and give them a quantitative approach of measuring the strength of an applicant, which can be used in consideration of other application credentials, for reviewing and making admission decisions

• Introduced a new and improved Admission Scorecard for weekly reporting of applications, admission, enrollment, and financial assistance

• Produced a “You are Welcome Here” video featuring Graduate School Global Ambassadors that was distributed to all new international students this past summer

• Cooperated with the International Programs and Center for Career Opportunities to welcome new international students to Young Hall via an Open House event that also fed them dinner.

• Following a pilot last year, Admissions Manager Michelle Goodin spent five days prior to the start of school at International Programs check-in, accepting admission-related documents from new international students. This kept them from having to walk across campus to Young Hall. About 600 students were served.

Information Management and Analysis Office • Transitioning the web front-end of the Graduate School Database to a technology which will

provide a better, more effective interface for students, faculty and staff. The final product will be ADA compliant and mobile friendly. We are also complete with an upgrading all websites within the graduate school to present a more unified and professional face in collaboration with Marketing and Media

• Added more detailed notes and help pop-ups to our Tableau dashboards making it easier for users to understand the data in the Graduate School Database

• 1st phase of a Plan of Study (POS) Audit completed, which will allow Graduate School staff to more easily and quickly audit a student’s Plan of Study prior to graduation. Phase 2 will give Graduate School and departmental staff the ability to more easily maintain and track courses involved in concentrations, with Phase 3 providing the students the ability to better see where they are in their academic progress

Graduate Programs Office (GPO) • Graduate Communications Advocate Position: After our staff retreat, Brittany Wright, a GPO

staff member, proposed a way to be another face out there for the Graduate School in a positive way. We are using this new position to increase awareness of what we do and to get to know the face of key people in grad offices across campus in order to provide services and information

• Graduate Council improvements: Reduced the number of meetings in consideration of faculty time (only new faculty attended fall orientation; and no May meeting); Added Clinical Faculty as Graduate Council voting member; Worked with chairs of area committees to create specific checklists and guidelines streamlining committee reviews and speeding up the process.

• Review and approval of Program and Course Proposals: Using the new Curriculog system, the GPO is working with the Office of the Registrar to create electronic workflows and signatures for all new proposals for Degree programs, Majors, Graduate Certificates, Concentrations, and Graduate Courses.; Proposal processes simplified by eliminating unnecessary steps and rules; Provide Individual and group Curriculog training with all programs system wide to be sure everyone is comfortable with the new processes.; Work one-on-one with a representative from each regional campus so that they will have someone who can be their go-to person for instructing all proposers in the Curriculog system.

• Revised individual sections of the graduate policy manual to eliminate outdated or unnecessary guidelines, rules, and policies.


• Worked closely with the Office of Digital Education on Graduate Online/Distance programs to continue to increase the efficiency in which we process proposals that involve Purdue Online Offices or Wiley

Thesis / Dissertation Office (TDO) • No longer requiring walk-in deposit appointments: This allows students to be able to focus

more on making post-defense content edits requested by committee members. All appointments are now held virtually. Not only does this give the student more time to make edits to their manuscripts, it also allows the TDO staff to approve and process students at a much quicker rate.

• Implemented new formatting requirements: This change has improved the amount of revision requests required from the TDO. We have witnessed revisions reduce from 1.90 to 0.76. This proves that the new MS Word templates and the use of Overleaf have addressed a number of formatting issues. This allows students the ability to focus more on the content, rather than the formatting, of their manuscripts. This has also drastically reduced the workload for departmental thesis format advisors

• Implemented the Electronic Thesis Acceptance Form (ETAF 9): This electronic form removes the requirement for paper forms and allows only one signature/manuscript deposited. The ETAF is now a required part of the deposit process and paper forms are no longer accepted (with the exception of regional campuses). The implementation of the ETAF has also helped our students become published quicker with e-Pubs. e-Pubs staff is able to reduce the amount of manual labor by being able to access all forms electronically.

• Quicker Publication of Theses: The TDO is working closely with the Graduate Records Office to receive graduation lists quicker. Publications would normally happen 6-8 months after degree clearance, now publication of manuscripts take place 2-4 months after degree clearance (with the exception of confidential manuscripts).

• We were able to validate most degrees 2 weeks after December commencement and send the manuscripts to ProQuest at that time. December graduates are now looking to be published by April.

• TDO/Departmental Outreach: The TDO is now reaching out to all departments to host specialized Formatting and Deposit Procedures workshops. This way, departments are able to get most of their students in one place (usually during a department orientation or seminar). These specialized workshops are not in place of traditional workshops, rather, they are additions to normal Formatting and Deposit Procedures workshops. The TDO has added 5 new departments for specialized workshops for the Spring 2018 term

• TDO Staff Available for Formatting Help, Pre-Checks: The TDO staff now hold trainings for departmental format advisors and are available walk-in appointment for students who need personalized help formatting their manuscripts. The pre-check ban has been lifted and the TDO now allows pre-checks for students. This allows a student to go into their defense 100% formatted, that way they have less formatting issues post-defense and can focus more on their content revisions. We have seen a reduction in the amount of formatting help requests within the defense and deposit deadline weeks. We have also seen a reduction in the amount of revisions requested by our office to students who submit through ProQuest. Since lifting the Pre-Check ban, we have seen a reduction of 0.12 revisions/submission in one semester alone.

Office of Graduate Diversity Initiatives With the retirement of the Director of Multicultural Programs, the Graduate School took the opportunity to merge this office with the AGEP office to create the new Office of Graduate Diversity Initiatives. This office now serve all our existing diversity programs in one office to better coordinate program interaction and is committed to serving diverse students in all phases


of their academic journey. This includes LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation - our Purdue undergraduate URM research program), SROP (Summer Research Opportunity Program, a summer resident research program), GDVP (the previous M-HBI) (our fall 4-5 day on campus URM recruitment event) and the AGEP (Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate) and the PMRI (Purdue Military Research Initiative). By realigning the SROP and GDVP program objectives and prescreening the applicants, we have had a significant increase in the URM students applying and accepting graduate school admission. Our cohort fall 17 was 16 URM students from 62 enrolled students from an initial visitation cohort of 62 in the fall of 16. This is up significantly from the previous year where approximately 25 were invited but only 1 admitted and attended. Attendance is up slightly with 64 Fall 17 participants – to date 13 have been admitted and 4 accepted.

• We are partnering with faculty across campus and sponsor their participation in recruitment events, encouraging student / faculty connections.

• Retention Initiatives: First, in order to be sure students feel valued, the Director of the OGDI meets personally and one-on-one with Graduate Diversity Visitation Program, Bridge and AGEP Scholars. Further, in order to continually foster a broader sense of community, Bridge, LSAMP, AGEP, and Professorial Advancement Initiative (Postdoc) Scholars are all invited to participate in scholar lunches, meetings, workshops, and activities.

• Starting Fall 2018 we will fund 1 graduate assistantship in each of the 5 cultural centers to support a graduate student to assist with graduate student - cultural center related programming to foster greater sense of community and connection to the graduate school.

Office of Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs • Inclusive Excellence Interdisciplinary Graduate Program administered as Certificate: Following

through with the social justice and inclusion theme of the OIGP, the OIGP has launched a plan to create the Inclusive Excellence Interdisciplinary Graduate Program administered as a certificate.

• Global Experiential Learning Opportunities: To build on the OIGP’s interdisciplinary and inclusive themes, the OIGP has begun a new effort to provide a niche global, experiential, intercultural research opportunity for graduate students and senior level honors undergraduate students, The Intercultural Inclusive Interdisciplinary Exploration – (The I3 Exploration) is planned for approximately two and half weeks at Ningbo University in Ningbo, China. Note: a SAIL grant from International Programs in the amount of $10,000 was recently secured to fund students participating in this opportunity in summer 2018.

TEACHING Although Dr. Mason lacks a formal teaching appointment she has a strong commitment to teaching. She has provided leadership in mentoring undergraduate and graduates students in undergraduate research, participating in regional and national student presentations and quiz bowl competitions. She has had primary responsibility for 2 classes (ENTM 210 and ENTM 615), team taught 1 course (Insect Ecology (ENTM 692 A, ENTM 542, ENTM 692G), and co-taught another course Entomology Capstone Preparation Class (ENTM 491). She also is responsible for one module for the online course VAG 540 - Grain Management and a special topics class to undergraduates and graduate students. In all of her teaching efforts, Dr. Mason receives outstanding teaching evaluations and she is sought after as a mentor to students in the department. Additionally, she is a member of the departmental Teaching and Curriculum Committee and chairs the Department of Entomology Scholarship and Awards Committee and chairs the College of Agriculture Awards Committee. Dr. Mason is also active with the students outside the classroom. She is the faculty advisor to the Departmental Linnaean Team(s). Teams compete at regional and national Entomology Society of America meetings in a quiz bowl-Jeopardy style competition. In the past few years the department has been able to sponsor two teams, each team consisting of 4 students plus an alternate. Dr. Mason is also faculty advisor for students involved in the Ohio Valley Entomology Association annual research meeting. This day-long meeting allows students of all levels, high school through graduate school, to


compete for cash prizes by giving oral research presentations. Dr. Mason has taken a van load or more of students from the department to this meeting every year since 1993. 1. Courses Taught:

GRAD 59000 Research Communication Skills for the Engaging Researcher. 2 credits –

Instructor. Dr. Mason started this course 2 years ago and teaches it each spring for the last 8 weeks of the semester. This course is designed to improve graduate student’s ability to write and speak to a non-scientist audience. Students spend time in half the time in lecture and the other days in the video studio producing education material for the lay audience. Students will produce a YouTube video during the semester on a topic of their choice. Final exam is an on-camera interview in a live TV studio. Enrollment is limited to 20 students per semester due to the studio time required.

ENTM 210. Insect Behavior – 3 Credits – Instructor - Dr. Mason took over this class in the

Spring of 2003. She reorganized this class, developing handouts and study guides for every lecture, focusing on examples for the research literature to explore each aspect of insect behavior. Dr Mason brings insects to class to demonstrate key principles and allow the students to see, not just hear, the behaviors, in addition to using websites, videos, television, and news articles as teaching tools. Because of Dr. Mason’s teaching style and course format, this class is popular with non-majors (over half of the student enrolled each semester are non-majors, many with no science background). Enrollment in this class has more than doubled since Dr. Mason starting teaching this course. She now has annual enrollments of about 70-80 students

ENTM 615. Advanced Insect Behavior – 3 Credits – Instructor - Initially offered Fall semester (1997). This was a new class that Dr. Mason, developed to teach student how to do insect behavioral research. Students learned the aspects of experimental design that must be modified when working with live insects. Topics covered included subject selection, observation techniques, data recording, and analysis. Students explored the current behavioral research literature to understand the unique challenges of studying behavior. Students were also required to design and conduct a small behavioral research project, ready for publication by the end of the semester. The first semester there were 6 students enrolled, including both master and Ph.D. students. This class was offered again in the Fall of 2000 (6 students), Fall 2003 (8 students) and Fall 2005 (7 students). To accommodate her new teaching responsibilities, Dr. Mason is no longer teaching this class.

ENTM 491. Capstone Experience Preparation – 1 Credit – Co-Instructor - This was a new class, offered for the first time in the Spring 2007, and is offered fall semester. It is team taught with Dr. Richmond. Both Dr. Mason and Dr. Richmond recognized that students were not prepared for the existing capstone experience within the department. Dr. Mason took a leadership role in designing this new class to standardize the procedures in selecting and documenting a capstone experience prior to registering and completing their departmental capstone course.

ENTM 692A. Insect Ecology - 3 Credits – Co-Instructor - This was a new course developed and offered spring semester 1996, 1998, 2000 and in 2005. Other members of the team consisted of Drs. R. O’Neil, J. Stuart, J. Neal, and C. Sadof. The course covered several areas of ecology, including biological control, chemical, behavior, and genetics. Dr. Mason was responsible for the development of lecture topics for the behavioral ecology section, which was composed on average of 12 lectures, a review period, and final exam. This course in no longer offered.


ENTM692G. Topics in Tropical Ecology – 3 Credits – Co-Instructor - A new class developed and offered for the first time in Spring 2007 - a replacement for ENTM 692A. It is also a team taught class with Drs. R. O’Neil, and C. Sadof. The aim of the course is to expose students to fundamental ecological work in the Tropics, and how people influence the Tropics in both positive and negative ways. The course uses a series of readings and student-led discussions to explore key ecological questions relating to the diversity, dynamics, and evolution of tropical systems. This course is no longer offered.

VAG 520. Value-Added Grains On-Line Distance Education Course – Co-Instructor - This

is a team taught course (with Drs. Maier and Woloshuk) where Dr. Mason participates in the computer based module VAG 520 - Quality Grain Management. Dr. Mason prepared the audio/visual portion of the class on insect management and identification. She participates in the on-line discussion group and prepares quiz questions on each of her modules. First offered in 2007, this class is now offered annually through a partnership between Kansas State University, Purdue and GEAPS (Grain Elevator and Processing Society).

Special Activities Contributing to Teaching Effectiveness: Selected to be an IMPACT program for my ENTM 21000 Insect Behavior course 2012. Completed the CIS College Teaching Workshop, May 1992 Special Topic Courses: Dr. Mason developed and offers special training in pests of stored foods through the class ENTM 691, “IPM, Food Pests, and Post-Harvest Entomology” to interested graduate students (4 to date).
