Every new graduate student will be assigned a research group and academic advisor based on the student’s interests. This academic advisor will advise the student until the student has found a faculty member who has agreed to serve as the student’s major professor. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with faculty members and find a major professor. New students are strongly encouraged to attend research group meetings, reading groups, and seminars to get to know the faculty and graduate students in the school.
