Graduate Students Home Page - Fall '96

Believe or not, unlike all other web pages, this page is not under construction. It is absolutely, positively, completely finished and will never be touched again. A lot of the text was shamelessly stolen from Sandeep Singhal.

Positions (see more descriptions)

PhD Bureaucrats - Julien Basch, Olaf Hall-Holt
MS Bureaucrat - Ann Pothen

These bozos are supposed to generally represent graduate students to the department and are ultimately responsible for problems they are unable to offload unto others. Send email to bureaucrats@cs to reach them and a few past bureaucrats.

A new PhD bureaucrat is chosen every quarter to serve for two quarters. The MS bureaucrat is chosen every quarter.

Curriculum Committee - Apostolos Lerios

MSCS Committee - Mark Mortensen Ann Pothen Catherine Tornabene Marshall Veach

Four students, elected in the Fall. This committee has total responsibility for the MSCS program, including admissions, programs, awarding degrees, passing petitions, etc. Work mostly consists of deciding whom to admit.

Admissions Committee - Tamara Munzner, Venkat Krishnamurthy, Sergey Brin

Three students, elected in the Fall, sit on the PhD admissions committee. This is considered to be the student post that requires the most work with the possible exception of the TGIF Czar below. For reasons that are beyond the understanding of bureaucracy, it is also the most coveted.
