Graduate Studies

Fall Quarter 2009

This is just a quick newsletter from the Graduate Studies Office letting you know about some of the things happening during the rest of this academic year.

Please note that you are receiving this e-mail because you are enrolled as a Graduate Student at EWU for Fall Quarter 2009.  The University does not disenroll students for non attendance.

ORALS COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Graduating Fall 2009 and have a third person for your graduate committee arranged?   

Please let us know as soon as possible!

Finding third committee members for orals committees is a daunting task that Julie Marr, our Advisor/Recruiter, works on every quarter.  If you have made arrangements for a third committee member for your orals committee, please let her know before she assigns one to you.  Her contact information is JMarr@ewu.edu or 509.359.2491.
