Neuroscience PhD Program Grad Committee
The Neuroscience PhD Program Grad Committee meets approximately once per month to oversee program operation, policy, evaluation, and updates. Committee membership consists of the Director of the Neuroscience PhD program, five faculty academic advisors, the Neuroscience PhD Program Manager, the Neuroscience PhD Program Coordinator, and four Neuroscience PhD students (one to represent each area of Neuroscience). This committee reviews all aspects of program status, including admissions, individual student progress, curriculum, climate, program evaluations, diversity and inclusion, administrative and mentorship issues, and student concerns. Student members are excluded when confidentiality is required. The Grad Committee is advisory, and the Neuroscience PhD Program Director has final responsibility for decisions.
