Students are assigned a faculty advisor for their second year based on their interests and the faculty member’s expertise. The faculty adviser usually serves as the chair of the student’s Thesis/Portfolio/Field Project committee and works closely with the student to prepare for the defense. The website for PSU’s Office of Graduate Studies provides additional guidance on policies and procedures governing graduate education.
For specific questions please contact, Dr. Mark Leymon, at mleymon@pdx.edu, or schedule time on his calendar for in-person, Zoom, or phone meetings.
