The functions of the Graduate Studies Committee are as follows:
- Oversee the graduate curriculum and make timely
recommendations to the faculty on its findings.
- Execute the School graduate policy on admissions
and financial support.
- Make teaching assistantship assignments.
- Monitor the progress of all graduate students in the School.
This monitoring relies on annual progress reports from students and
their advisors (supervisory committee chairs). The advisor of a
student whose progress is questionable will be invited to discuss the
student's situation with the Committee. Appropriate actions according
to accepted School guidelines result from the student reviewing
process.
- Recruit new graduate students.
During 2001-2002, the Committee consists of Professors
Al Davis (Director),
Ganesh
Gopalakrishnan (In charge of graduate admissions),
Wilson Hsieh,
Cindi Thompson,
Kris Sikorski,
Ross Whitaker.
and
Matthew Flatt.
The Graduate Coordinator is Marilyn Gorder.
