Avenues to Address Graduate Student Concerns

Penn State makes it a priority to establish fair and effective policies and processes to resolve graduate students’ grievances.  When a problem arises between a graduate student and a faculty member, fellow student, or adviser, we encourage the parties to first seek to resolve the problem with their adviser or within their graduate program. 

Award Programs

The Graduate School recognizes excellence in graduate education through a variety of award programs for students and faculty with funding derived from institutional resources as well as gifts from donors. Some awards are selected centrally from nominations and applications that are submitted to the Graduate School (though most require support from academic programs) and others are offered by way of funding allocations to colleges in order to support recruitment and retention of high-achieving students.

As a first-year student at Penn State, O. Richard Bundy III fully expected that his undergraduate years would produce a degree in architectural engineering. While his career has been distinguished by the figurative building of bridges around the world, Bundy routinely relies on tools of the trade most commonly associated with the liberal arts education he ultimately received during his pursuit of bachelor’s and master’s degrees in History, conferred in 1993 and 1996, respectively.

Graduate Student Profile: James Fraser

For James Fraser, a Ph.D. student in the intercollege molecular, cellular, and integrative biosciences program, studying red blood cell generation is a cause that he can personally understand. That is because he has hemophilia, a bleeding disorder where blood does not clot normally, and understanding blood and the underlying complex roles physiology plays in the blood is important to him.

Joint M.D.-Ph.D. student wins international prize, honored during weeklong ceremony in Stockholm

Allison Cleary decided that she wanted to try something different, so the joint degree student who is working on an M.D. and a research doctorate (Ph.D.) in Cell and Molecular Biology at Penn State’s College of Medicine participated in a cancer lab rotation. Ultimately, the desire to expand her personal horizons placed Cleary squarely on a path to international acclaim as the 2015 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists grand prize winner for her essay, “Teamwork: The Tumor Cell Edition.”

The View from Kern - October 2016

Welcome to the third issue of the Graduate School's Alumni Newsletter. In this edition of the Newsletter, we showcase two outstanding graduate students seeking to solve societal problems through complex research. Both students, John Beieler and Matthew Shorey, were featured in the Beaver Stadium Pictorial – otherwise known as the football game day magazine– and a special announcement was made during the game on October 22, acknowledging their outstanding research efforts, as well as those of all graduate students at Penn State.

The View from Kern - Summer 2019

Successfully maintaining active connections between Graduate School Alumni and the graduate community at Penn State will forever remain a strategic priority of the Graduate School. Thus, it is not a coincidence that the stories in this edition of the Graduate School Alumni Newsletter are focused around a central theme of engagement.
