The work graduate students do,
such as that presented at the Graduate Student Research Forum, contributes to
the economic, social and civic development of the Commonwealth.
In a time in
which knowledge creation is the currency needed for the future health of our
country and state, graduate education is the major producer and incubator for
these fertile minds.
Half of the economic growth over the last half-century has
been the result of technological innovation, scientific discovery and knowledge
creation according to the NDEA 21: A Renewed Commitment to Graduate Education,
published by the Council of Graduate Schools in 2005.
