Administration and management of programs
Governance
The Department Chair is responsible for leadership of the
department and management of resources. The Director of Graduate
Studies (DGS) chairs the Graduate Studies Committee and represents
the department’s graduate programs to the University’s Graduate
School. S/he coordinates the administration of the department’s
graduate programs and communicates and enforces the regulations
of the Graduate School and degree programs as well as opportunities
offered by the Graduate School (e.g., fellowship competitions).
Graduate studies committee
Chaired by the DGS, the Graduate Studies Committee includes
four additional C&I faculty members who are elected by the faculty.
Each serves a three-year term. Two students also serve as members
for 1- or 2-year terms. The committee reviews Ph.D. programs
and requests for travel and research support. It also initiates
departmental fellowship competitions, makes recommendations
to the faculty regarding graduate study policies within the
department, and engages in reviews of continued membership on
the graduate faculty as needed (see
policy). The committee meets monthly during the academic
year.
