Manage Your PhD Committee

Recognize the Different Players

Let’s face it: there are a lot of voices involved in your dissertation process. Your doctoral advisor is at the top of the pyramid, but just below is your dissertation chairperson, your dissertation committee members, your outside readers, your secondary and cognate field advisors, and more, depending on your program.

Positive Relationships

As your academic coach, I’ll help you maintain good working relationships with your advisor (however hands-on or off they are) and each of your committee members.

Using Feedback

We’ll also work together to incorporate committee member feedback and prepare you to absolutely ace your written comprehensive exams and PhD oral defense.
