An all-day department-wide event . . . Our participation in the CID gave us a great excuse to gather our entire department for an all-day retreat to discuss CID initiatives and our graduate program. We have held similar events for faculty in the past, but this year was the first time we invited graduate students. We had a terrific turnout of both faculty and graduate students at a local hotel with conference facilities (and lots of food, of course). We began with an introductory session that included all participants, then divided everyone into four mixed groups of graduate students and faculty. Each group attended four "breakout" sessions designed to discuss the four target areas of reform: MA Program/Thesis, Advisor/Advisee Relationship, General Exams, and Teaching Load. The sessions were led by one graduate student and one faculty member from the CID and Graduate Studies committees. The retreat ended with reports synthesizing the ideas that had been generated in each of the sessions.. We organized the retreat hoping to generate a dialogue among graduate students and faculty about our graduate program and the ways to make and already great program even better. We also wanted to keep everyone informed and energized about the CID. Fortunately, the event was an amazing success. We have taken reports from the retreat and incorporated the ideas into specific proposals for reform in each of our target areas.
