Is this a department or university wide issue? <br class=""> Nette asked this question in a meeting yesterday. Dan King (Assistant Dean of Graduate Financial Support) responded. This is a known school (Humanities & Sciences) issue, and solutions are being discussed among many different offices. The Deans are analyzing the possible cost, and there should be some updates in the coming week or two.<br class=""><br class="">Acknowledged and known problem of delays preventing dissertation research, considered a school problem. They’re asking departments to make lists of potentially affected PhD students. “Being actively considered.” “Unfortunately all in a wait-and-see mode”. <br class=""><br class="">Board of trustees will meet April 20 to decide about endowment payout.<br class=""><br class="">Also encouraging incoming students to defer.<br class=""><br class="">Nette will try to get more info and share.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Do we have an incoming PhD class?<br class=""><br class="">NW: Today was the deadline. CCRMA offered two PhD slots; both were accepted. At least one is a foreign national who may want/need to defer because of visa issues. NW predicts there may not be an incoming cohort; the 2020 incoming people might actually come in 2021.<br class=""><br class=""> <br class="">— Capstone projects for MAs and program requirements - clarifications? (any faculty who will be with us)<br class=""> Language from bulletin: "Capstone Project: At least nine units of work are required to complete the capstone project."<br class=""><br class="">NW “to be perfectly honest, most people don’t have specifics about it”. Was talked about in faculty meetings and has now made it into the Bulletin as of 2018-2019,<br class=""><br class="">Takako: Capstone had been mentioned as reframing 220D or equivalent to any kind of independent project “but that’s about it”. “As a form of encouragement to engage independent projects, it made it into the bulletin that way, but not a change to the existing framework of the curriculum”.<br class=""><br class="">Matriculation happens in September.<br class=""><br class="">NF asks if there will be a timeline for more guidance on it? JOS nominates Jonathan Berger to describe this.<br class=""><br class="">It’s not an additional 9 units; you do the 9 units of capstone work within the existing required 45 units.<br class=""><br class="">Ge recalls it not being controversial among faculty. It should be molded after your own interests. Time set aside for you as a masters student to pursue something in a sustained and focused way across multiple quarters. Maybe not even one thing, but a common theme that pursues your genuine interest. Also relating to community-building aspect of CCRMA. A way to say “spend more time at CCRMA with your fellow CCRMAlites and work on what interests you”. Could be scientific research, art/composition, building a software tool. As long as it’s thoughtful and musically minded and you are on the same page with your advisor. <br class=""><br class="">JOS says 9 units “designed with your advisor”. Doesn’t want to stipulate it happens in Y2 (e.g., to accommodate shortened MA/MST timelines)<br class=""><br class="">It’s not a specific course number. Could be 220D.<br class=""><br class="">Takako: could schedule a meeting with faculty, Nette, Matt to draft language for next year’s bulletin and to help clarify for current masters students. TF feels that a class final project could grow into a larger and longer term project. If advisor and student can come to that agreement that this will be a major achievement in MA degree, then we can have some kind of flexibility as to what is considered part of the capstone.<br class=""><br class="">Kim - is there any thought of setting aside funding for masters students to execute projects? E.g., Kim is doing a study that Takako is funding out of her lab. TF: “that’s a really brilliant suggestion”. JOS: historically faculty have used their discretionary research accounts for things like that.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">— Request for guest speakers to Colloquiua (Barbara)<br class=""> FYI, Mark Rau already reached out to speakers who were invited to come in spring, and all declined doing a remote talk. Suggest folks to your colloquium crew: Mark Rau, Vidya Rangasayee, Camille Noufi, Scott Oshiro. Julius is also working on some special seminars.<br class=""><br class="">BN surprised none of the speakers wanted to do a virtual talk.<br class=""><br class="">Moving forward we envision more of a normal CCRMA colloq format with presentations, etc., and have less frequent town halls.<br class=""><br class="">— CCRMA t-shirt design winner?<br class=""><br class="">Voting closes tonight<br class=""><br class="">— Virtual room for CCRMA community to “drop by” for a conversation? Any suggestions on platform? Host? Timing? (Hassan)<br class=""><br class="">Nando: we installed our own Jitsi server.<br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://cm-jitsi.stanford.edu" class="">https://cm-jitsi.stanford.edu</a><br class=""><br class="">Jitsi meetings remain open forever - you can reenter the room, e.g., cm-jitsi.stanford.edu/ccrma-hangout or https://cm-jitsi.stanford.edu/NettesDesk<br class="">After the last person leaves the meeting stops, but then if somebody rejoins in the future (likely needing to authenticate with CCRMA login/pw) that same URL will re-open.<br class=""><br class="">Also we can use Zoom (but we need to research the persistence of Zoom meetings)<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">Shift Town Halls earlier in the work day, like to be done by 4:30 or 5?<br class=""><br class="">JOS worked hard to find a time for the DSP seminar; no other time was possible.<br class=""><br class="">Takako: A couple people went back to Asia. Around 5:30 it’s the next morning in Asia. “It’s a little hard for European time but this might be the sweet spot to accommodate different places.”<br class=""><br class="">Elena: fun trends on social media to build community. One is to make a bingo board for your student group, major, etc. It’s been on instagram; she screen shared and then emailed to the users list.<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div>
