This committee meets every 2 months. Recurring agenda items include voting on CMB faculty applications, reviewing student candidacy and dissertation committees (only faculty members review student files), and proposing/discussing CMB program policies. Additional agenda items may be proposed by students or faculty within the committee, or outside of the committee. Students and faculty on the committee act as representatives, to communicate any topics or issues of importance, from the general faculty and student body, back to the Program Committee. As CMB is interdisciplinary, this committee consists of faculty from a variety of departments across the university, and 4 CMB student representatives, also typically representing several departments.
