A list of those individuals the major field desires to receive invitations to this specific
presentation may accompany this form with their email address. Invitations that must

Please note that the University community will be informed of the day, date, time, and
location of the presentation, initially one week in advance, via Newslink.
The Dissertation-Committee Chairperson should note:
Two results are reported: one for the oral defense and a second for the written
