Graduate Program Directors are faculty who work within the Graduate Program in an academic-administrative capacity. Program Director's duties may vary by program, but commonly include recruiting, admissions, graduate advising, and general academic support for the graduate students. Program Directors are listed on the Graduate Programs website at: http://www.grad.usf.edu/programs/search_all.php (corrections to the listings or contact information may be sent to cdh@usf.edu or tron@usf.edu)
It's that time of year again! The Outstanding Thesis/Dissertation (OTD) Awards are intended to recognize those USF graduates who have demonstrated exceptional performance during their graduate careers at USF and whose thesis or dissertation has resulted in significant impact to the discipline at the National level.

It is the intention of the Graduate School to submit the award winners to National OTD competitions, and the application materials reflect those that are required by these competitions.
