General Introduction Continue
General Affair Committees
What Is the Role of General Affair Committees?
Dr. Steve Sheng-Fa Yu
Our Responsibilities We help some aspects of student’s life including General

We act as advisors for first year students until they choose their thesis advisors (monthly meetings between committee members and the first year students are mandatory)
Deals with student-advisor relationship if there is a problem.
Talks with failed students to understand the causes and provide possible remedies.
Choosing and changing
