Graduate Affairs Committee

A departmental committee is in charge of reviewing graduate affairs on a number of topics (see below). Faculty committee members will issue their recommendation by the end of Spring 04.

Three graduate students of each unit (Environment, Molecular Biology / Biochemistry, Physiology) will also serve on the committee. These graduate students should have good knowledge of the department (e.g.: third year graduate students).

You certainly have your own comments or suggestions that you would like to voice to the committee. Email us at untbgsa@yahoo.com or drop a note in the BGSA mailbox.
