The lab includes several ecosystems representative of Central Texas and state-of-the-art greenhouses.
Stengl "Lost Pines" Biological Station
Only 40 minutes east of Austin, the 208-acre Stengl "Lost Pines" Biological Station sits within the unique "Lost Pines" ecosystem near Smithville, Texas. The "Lost Pines" are a geographic outlier of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) more than 120 miles west of the current limits of the species.
MARINE SCIENCE INSTITUTE
This Marine Science Institute, perched on the shores of a Gulf Coast barrier island in Port Aransas, Texas, hosts the Department of Marine Biology. The department has full access to many unique marine ecosystems around the Gulf of Mexico and manages the Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve, which encompasses 185,000 acres of coastal ecosystem.
MCDONALD OBSERVATORY
The McDonald Observatory is one of the world's leading centers for astronomical research, teaching, and public education and outreach. Observatory facilities are located atop Mount Locke and Mount Fowlkes in the Davis Mountains of West Texas, which offer some of the darkest night skies in the continental United States. Home to the Hobby-Eberly Telescope, Star Parties and StarDate radio.
External reviews in the College of Natural Sciences are comprehensive. They include a review of the department as well as its affiliated graduate programs and ORUs. Planning for the external review is a collaborative process between the department chair and the Dean's office. We typically begin planning approximately 12 months in advance of the review.
Planning
- When will my department's external review occur?
- What are the responsibilities of the Chair and the Dean's Office?
- What should our self-study include?
Required Components
1. NAMES OF POTENTIAL REVIEWERS
- Assist the dean in generating names of potential reviewers
- Strive for diversity, e.g. public and private institutions
2. REVIEW QUESTIONS
- Assist the dean in finalizing the list of guiding questions for the review
- List of required questions from the Graduate School
- List of required questions for an ORU review
3. meeting Schedule
4. Self-study
- Prepare and proof your self-study
- Sample introduction (available upon request)
- Sample undergraduate education section (available upon request)
- Sample executive summary of graduate program (available upon request)
- Sample 18 Characteristics of Graduate Program (sample)
- Faculty Biographical Sketch Template (template)
- Definition of terms used in graduate program section
5. Post-Review REsponse
- Prepare the graduate program response to the external review (sample template)
- Prepare the departmental response to the review (sample template)
- Meet with the dean to discuss the final institutional response.
