Abstract
The author describes how a requirement that our graduate students deposit theses and dissertations into our
institutional repository (SOAR) helped to build our online scholarship, educate and strengthen graduate stu-
dents’ identities as scholars, and forge relationships with the library. Taking advantage of the synergy brought
about by a new open access policy, a robust digital repository, and library staff committed to advancing
accessible scholarly works, we developed ways to educate, encourage, and promote our newest scholars. Based
upon our success thus far, we will develop workshops and tutorials that will be extended to junior faculty to
advance their scholarly success.
