ANNUAL COMMITTEE MEETING

As described in the Student Handbook, every student, regardless of source of financial support, must submit an annual committee report each year. You need to have a committee meeting by March 1 of each academic year, with the complete report to be turned in by March 15. First-year students are expected to solicit comments from their temporary advisor and their three rotation mentors for this report.

Faculty section: The Committee Report form is to be completed by your advisor, with feedback from each committee member for each section of the form. This should be a thorough and constructive summary of what was discussed at the annual meeting. The form must be approved by each committee member and given to you within two weeks of the annual meeting.

Student section: Read the faculty responses and sign the form as the last member of the team that is working together toward your training goals. Then, append a one-page response to these evaluations, including a summary of your progress and projected work for the coming year. Turn this in to Janice along with your current CV with information on presentations given, manuscripts submitted and/or published, proposals written and/or funded, courses taught, awards received, outreach, and mentoring. If you have scheduled a defense date in that spring semester and you are confident you will not need funding during the summer of that year, you are not required to submit a progress report.
