I have confirmed with the persons/faculty nominees or their home unit that they have active and proper appointment to the Graduate School to serve their specific role (chair, co-chair, member) and represent the program (authorized by the Home Unit of the program and the Graduate School). I understand that nominating a faculty/person who does not have an appointment to the Graduate School will result in the automatic disapproval of my submission.
