Theses & Dissertations
Record of Service on MASTER'S or DOCTORAL Committees
I have met with graduate students on an as-needed basis and have been chairing or serving on master and dissertation committees for the last 20years (over 165 master's and doctoral committees). Some of the master's and doctoral committees that I am currently chairing or serving on as well as recent ones are as follows.
In addition to formally advising and serving on graduate student committees, I have worked with over 400 graduate students, who were employed by one or more of my funded projects, and who often came to me for academic and/or personal advising and/or counseling. I also supervised graduate student internships and special topic courses.
