What is a GFR?
A non-departmental member of the examining committee, called the Graduate Faculty Representative (GFR) is appointed and/or approved by the Dean of the Graduate School. The GFR must be a member of the Graduate Faculty and may not be selected from a separate discipline within a yoked department. The GFR is the representative of the Graduate School on the examining committee and is responsible for reporting the results of graduate examinations to the Dean of the Graduate School. The Graduate School welcomes suggestions from the student or department regarding candidates for the GFR.
