Graduate Faculty Advisors

Chairs of PhD and MS committees (aka graduate supervisors) must be drawn from the faculty who can serve in that capacity.  Within the Department of Zoology, the following persons can Chair graduate committees.  When contacting prospective supervisors, it is important to contact at least one of the following persons.  Other faculty who are not on this list may be able to supervise students through other departments.  Faculty not on this list can also be very valuable members of a student's supervisory committee.
