Thesis/Dissertation Consultant
Kris Bronstad, the Thesis/Dissertation Consultant, is responsible for the review and approval of theses and dissertations submitted to the university as partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation. Graduate students who are writing theses and dissertations should plan to meet with the consultant at least two or three times during the writing and revision process, including a preliminary review and final submittal. In particular, it is important to have the Consultant review your Approval Sheet before getting it signed by your committee.
