Annual Thesis Committee Meeting #1
Submit your Annual Thesis Committee Meeting Signature Page to the Staff Graduate Advisor once completed.
The student will meet with all thesis committee members collectively at least once per year to discuss and reflect on progress and future plans in the program, receive input and feedback, and present any concerns or potential issues that you may have.
Recommendation for Publications and Presentations
Reach out to your PI or the Faculty Graduate Advisor for more information on this.
Your third year is a time where typically your research has led or is leading to a publication.
Having publications is important for a future career.
Quality is more important than quantity but it is common to graduate with a number of publications, including first author ones.
You should also expect to attend conferences during your graduate career.
You learn from presenting your work (as posters or talks) and it is a great opportunity to network and lay contacts in your scientific community.
A one-time campus fellowship is available for this purpose once you have advanced to candidacy.
