Fall 2019
Advisor selection is the process for all new students (who are not pre-assigned to a research group at the time of admission) to find and join a Research Group. It is held in the Fall semester each year. Faculty who are accepting students will present in 30 minute slots during Seminar four to six times a week. Presentations will continue until all have presented. Below is a list of Faculty accepting students and their presentation time.
It is essential that the students carefully consider all options when picking a faculty advisor. As part of the advisor selection process, all students must speak with at least five faculty members who are recruiting students during that academic year. Students will be given forms to have the faculty sign verifying that they have spoken. Beyond these specific requirements, the students are encouraged to meet with all faculty members. This is a unique opportunity for both the new graduate students and faculty to become acquainted with one another and to help build ties and communication between the students and faculty.
In the week after submission of the student lists, the Department Head, in consultation with the Graduate Program Director and the faculty, will assign students. Assignments will be made taking into account student choices, faculty choices, availability of funds, and other Departmental requirements. In the event that not all students are successfully paired with an advisor, the unassigned students will be asked to submit a second list of faculty with openings. The remaining students will then be assigned based on consultations between the Department Head, Graduate Program Director, and relevant faculty.
The selection of a research advisor is the most important decision a graduate student will make and should not be taken lightly. ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND ALL PRESENTATIONS.
Forms are Due to the Graduate Office, 252 JEB, by 5pm on October 4th
List of Presentations:
All presentations will be given in JEB Room 108. For more information on an individual faculty member, click their name to visit their Research group page. Presentations will be posted after they are given.
