Selection of Research Topic

A list of research projects will be made available at the beginning of the fall semester. The faculty will hold informational sessions about their research during the month of September. Students are required to consult with faculty members about research projects and have discussions with students working with those faculty members. Students are encouraged to speak with all faculty members and to cover many different research areas. Students are asked to submit a list of their top three preferences for faculty research adviser to the Vice-Chair, together
with their choice of research projects for each adviser. The Vice-Chair will then assign each new student to a faculty research adviser, basing the decisions upon student and faculty preferences and availability of projects. Every effort is made to satisfy the maximum possible number of people to the greatest possible extent in this process.
