<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Dear College of Education Graduate Employees,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Welcome and welcome back! We hope you are feeling restored and ready for the doctoral pace, the new learning, and the sense of future that comes with each new year in the program. We’ve been looking forward
to having you back on campus!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We are writing with a specific update
<u>for your awareness only</u>. You have likely heard that we are in the process of making some operational changes to work within an adjusted university budget. As we make the modifications necessary to remain within the updated budget, we anticipate some
short-and long-term impact for the PhD students we will be admitting in future years.
<span style="color:black">In the 2026-2027 academic year, PhD students admitted into College of Education PhD programs will not be guaranteed the 4-years of funding that have been offered to prior incoming students in recent years. Instead, these newly admitted
students will self-fund via loans, scholarships, research GEs to the extent they are available, and other personal means in AY 26-27. Funding decisions after AY 26-27 have not yet been made, however, it is likely that COE-sponsored GE packages for the 2026-2027
cohort and future cohorts will likely be competitive and limited in number in AY 27-28 and beyond.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Of important note: this change does not impact your offer letter. For PhD students admitted in 2025-2026 and prior, the College of Education will continue to honor the terms of your original offer letter.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We share this with you for your awareness only as many of you may already be in communication with interested students who are considering applying to COE programs based on your recommendations. When discussing
or promoting your or other COE PhD programming with prospective candidates, it will be important to keep in mind that your funding packages will likely not be similar.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> Again, this message is being sent for your awareness only. The details associated with this change in the college are currently being addressed within individual departments and programs and will be further
defined in the coming weeks. As more information arises, more information will likely be shared with you through your individual programs, especially, as it relates to any specific role you may play in recruiting future cohorts.
