The focus will be on helping grad students think about how best to go about putting together a committee of study (whether that’s a thesis committee, a comprehensive exam committee (where there is flexibility in that regard, depending on the area) or a dissertation committee. We will have 5 panelists—2 graduate students at different stages, one post-doc who did PhD here, and 2 faculty members. Each will address some tailored questions regarding: i) forming your committees of study; and ii) working with your committee. And there will be time for questions and further discussion.

Will be held in person in Sociology Department Commons (SSCI 1061) or via Zoom. Please email rlwood@unm.edu for link.
