The Faculty - Dissertation Chair Training presents this information in greater depth.
The Dissertation Committee works together to direct, support, and guide the doctoral student through the dissertation process from start to finish. The Committee must be able to work well together and also work well with the student. As the Chair, it is your job to facilitate that work and ensure everyone understands their role and fulfills their responsibilities. Three members comprise the Committee: the Chair, the Committee Member, and the Methodological Reader. The Dissertation Chair Training (available for self-enrollment) is an excellent resource to complete before you serve as a Dissertation Chair and to reference throughout the process.
