In 1969, the Division of Graduate Studies formally became the Graduate School and University Center. Mathematician Mina S. Rees served as the institution's first president from 1969 until her retirement in 1972. Rees was succeeded as president of the Graduate Center by environmental psychologist Harold M. Proshansky, who served until his death in 1990. Political scientist Frances Degen Horowitz was appointed president in September, 1991.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cuny.tv/bio/frances_degen_horowitz )〕 In 2005, Horowitz was succeeded by the school's provost, Professor of English Literature William P. Kelly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cuny.edu/about/trustees/hearings/manhattan/kelly.html )〕 During Kelly's tenure at the Graduate Center the University has seen significant growth in revenue, funding opportunities for students, increased Distinguished Faculty and a general resurgence.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://philosophy.commons.gc.cuny.edu/update-from-president-kelly/ )〕 This is in accordance with three primary goals articulated in the Graduate Center’s strategic plan. The first of these involves enhancing student support. In 2013, 83 dissertation-year fellowships were awarded at a total cost of $1.65 million. The Graduate Center is also developing new programs to advance research prior to the dissertation phase, including archival work. The fiscal stability of the university has enabled the chancellery to increase, on an incremental basis, the value of these fellowships. The packages extended for 2013-14 year increase stipends and reduce teaching requirements. In 2001, the Graduate Center provided 14 million dollars in student support, and, in Fall 2013, 51 million in student support.〔 On April 23, 2013, the CUNY Board of Trustees announced that president Kelly would serve as interim chancellor for the City University of New York beginning July 1 with the retirement of Chancellor Matthew Goldstein. GC Provost Chase F. Robinson was appointed to serve as interim president of the Graduate Center in 2013, and then became president in July 2014. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Graduate Center, CUNY」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
