Guidance Committee

The Guidance Committee of entering students (both PhD and MS) will be the Graduate Operations Committee (GOC). The Guidance Committee's role will be to help the student with potential course offerings, potential rotation mentors, and anything else relating to academics. The GOC will be constituted to reflect the balance of disciplinary interests of the Plant Biology Program and will serve as an advisory committee for the student until a Dissertation Committee has been assembled.  Each student will meet with his/her Guidance Committee at least once each semester to review progress.  Following the meeting, the student will summarize the decisions made and will submit the summary to the Plant Biology Program Manager for placement in his/her file.
