Dissertation Planning Meeting
This meeting is designed to provide a summary of progress and to establish a timeline for completion of work required the Ph.D. degree. The Dissertation Planning Meeting Form should be completed by the student and the research advisor. Students in the Chemistry PhD program will meet with their advisor in their fourth year and annually thereafter to align expectations for the completion of the dissertation. After the student and advisor have discussed these plans, both should sign the form and submit it here. If the student or research advisor believes it would be beneficial to discuss the student’s timeline and expectations, either party may request a meeting with the full committee to review and clarify the plans. The dissertation planning meetings should be completed by May 31.
