Scheduling a Defense
When a student is ready to defend a comp, master’s thesis, prospectus, or dissertation, the chair of the committee will send out a poll to all members of the committee to find the best date and time for the defense.
The chair will work with the GPM to secure a space for the defense and work out tech needs. For virtual defenses, the chair will create the Zoom link.
