New Focal Point/Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership Collaboration
The Graduate College would like to announce a new opportunity within the Focal Point Competition. Through collaboration with the Academy of Entrepreneurial Leadership (AEL), the Graduate College seeks new projects that highlight and build entrepreneurship activities across campus. Begun in 2004, the AEL aims “to encourage entrepreneurial awareness and initiatives across all disciplines at the university” by catalyzing relationships and networks among students, faculty, the community, and industry.
The Graduate College is pleased to add entrepreneurship as the third Focal Point special emphasis along with (1) collaborative projects that build relationships with international institutions or NGOs and (2) interdisciplinary research addressing issues of domestic minorities in graduate education.
For more information about this new initiative, current and past awardees, and the full Request for Proposals, please visit the Focal Point webpage, http://www.grad.illinois.edu/focal-point-feature

Entrepreneurship summer program for graduate students
Stanford Graduate School of Business Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship (SIE) (http://gsb.stanford.edu/sie)
This program is for the graduate student population with backgrounds in engineering, medicine, science, and humanities to inform them of the opportunity to spend a month at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business learning management skills critical to entrepreneurship and building a successful venture.
The Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship is a rigorous 4-week program that provides Masters, PhDs, and postdocs from top universities worldwide the unique opportunity to build the analytical and practical skills critical to business management and entrepreneurship. The program is taught by Stanford Business School (GSB) faculty and utilizes a combination of lectures, team projects, small group discussions, guest speakers, and workshops to give participants a comprehensive understanding of the process of starting a new business venture. Venture capitalists, presentation consultants, and local entrepreneurs mentor participants throughout the program on how to formulate and effectively present a winning business plan. The program concludes with presentations of team-developed business plans to a panel of experienced venture capitalists from prominent Silicon Valley firms.
Applications will close on March 15, 2012.

REMINDER: Focal Point Proposals sought for 2012-13
The Graduate College invites proposals from faculty and graduate students for 2012-2013 Focal Point projects. The full RFP is available on the Graduate College website at http://www.grad.illinois.edu/focal-point-feature.
Focal Point is an initiative that seeks to stimulate the formation of new intellectual communities made up of faculty and graduate students addressing topics that undergird important issues and problems of our time. With this initiative we hope to engage faculty and graduate students to advance knowledge in areas of critical national and human need. Whether looking at the increasing challenges in global health and engineering, global economic and social issues, or the challenges of understanding and communicating in an increasingly complex world, solutions will encompass multiple disciplines and require innovative thinking. Of particular interest are new collaborations that explore the interfaces between disparate fields of scholarship. This year there are special opportunities for collaborations that bridge international institutions and for work that addresses issues of domestic diversity.
In addition to new Focal Point proposals, we also invite Phase II proposals from previous Focal Point project teams. Phase II projects should build on previous Focal Point collaborations to reconceptualize the project framework and develop new directions for the group.
Proposal Review: Proposals will be reviewed by faculty/student panels. Final selection will be made by the Graduate College. Selection criteria will include intellectual merit, impact on graduate students and education on campus, anticipated contributions to interdisciplinarity and diversity on campus, and establishment of international networks for graduate education.
Funding: Up to $15,000 per project selected.
Duration: Projects must begin August 2012 and contain activities for two academic semesters or a 12-month period.
Proposals should be uploaded to the Graduate College website by March 26, 2012.

GRADUATE WRITING GROUPS
Come join our graduate writing groups!
Graduate Writing Groups are groups of graduate writers from all levels and disciplines who will meet to share writing for courses, dissertations, theses, articles, and other professional activities. These groups are comprised of 4-6 writers, typically from similar departments and similar stages in their graduate programs; however, working in an interdisciplinary group is also an option. You will be trained on how to conduct writing group meetings, how to improve certain aspects of your writing, and how to critique others' writing. The groups will last approximately 4-6 weeks.
We think you will find the group to be a useful addition to your graduate work and future career, as you will learn important skills for improving your own writing, giving feedback to others, and forming a professional community.
The required informational meeting will be held on Thursday, February 2 at 5pm in 160 English Building. Please visit our blog prior to the meeting in order to access the article that you will read to prepare you for the informational meeting https://uiucwritinggroups.wordpress.com/ Feel free to contact us at wow@illinois.edu if you have any questions!
DOCTORAL PROGRAM ASSESSMENT
Dear Faculty and Graduate Students,
As you know, during the past academic year the Graduate College conducted an assessment of all 98 doctoral programs on campus. I attach the assessments for our doctoral programs in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering. Our Environmental Science program was not assessed due to the small numbers.
You will see that the assessment has identified some areas in need of improvement. I welcome your feedback. The Graduate Affairs Committee will be discussing this during the semester.
