Graduate Faculty Representative Name
*
Required
Doctor of Education (EdD) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) doctoral defenses require a Graduate Faculty Representative (GFR). PhD and EdD doctoral candidates are required to contact a member of the Graduate Faculty, and to confirm with that Graduate Faculty member that they are available during the defense time and are willing to serve as a GFR. Doctoral candidates should consult with their Supervisory Committee Chair (Major Advisor) regarding their GFR choice. The GFR at Boise State University serves as a symbol of campus-wide fairness, upholds the rigor of the graduate process, and is an impartial representative of the Graduate College to the doctoral student and their supervisory committee. The GFR serves as a nonvoting member of their Supervisory Committee, and during the defense procedure is responsible for making sure that each element of the defense is conducted in a way that is consistent with Graduate College guidelines. The GFR must be a member of the Graduate Faculty, cannot be an Affiliate, Adjunct or Emeritus member of the Graduate Faculty, and cannot be a member of the Graduate Program or College (or affiliated programs in the case of an interdisciplinary program,) that is granting the doctoral degree. A list of current Graduate Faculty is available on the Graduate College website.
