The committee chairman will be Robert Seal, the university librarian. If we can build a consensus on that, then we can decide the best way to achieve these goals. He said a report is due Nov. 17. Another area of concern is internships. Internships require staff members that create internship opportunities, he said.
Career development is yet another subject that is of immediate importance.
Development consists of helping the student understand where his or her talents are and pointing them in the right direction, Koehler said. Placement functions then take place within the individual TCU colleges. Koehler said they will first examine current Ph.D. and masters programs for areas that need improvement, then they will look at possible new programs. Both Ferrari and Koehler targeted law and pharmacy as possible new graduate programs. Adding law and pharmacy to TCU would help place the university into the next level the commission is striving to achieve, he said.
