Dean Leslie Reynolds shares highlights from the fall survey on mentors and funding.

As part of our ongoing efforts to assess and improve your graduate student experience at CU Boulder, the Graduate School partnered with Institutional Research Institutional within the Office of Data Analytics in October 2018 to survey graduate students about mentors and funding. At the close of the survey, 2877 graduate students had responded, yielding a response rate of almost 60%. An overview of the initial results are provided below. Additional survey results will be provided during the 2019 spring semester.

The Graduate School is launching a task force to examine graduate student stipends and benefits, and a survey to assess funding and academic advising/mentorship.
