New graduate studies duties for John Augusto

John Augusto, assistant dean of graduate studies in the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, has assumed direct supervision of the Graduate Application Processing Center (GAPC).  He succeeds Carole Ross, who retired April 30.  Augusto will begin several initiatives, including development of an online admission process to match KU’s existing online application process. 

Augusto will continue to promote the recruitment of graduate students and will work with the College and professional schools to create a more streamlined process of data collection throughout a graduate student’s career.  Decisions will be made later concerning responsibility for Augusto’s duties in undergraduate research experiences, research training grants for graduate students and professional development for post-docs.
