How do I write an e-mail inviting a professor to be my dissertation committee chair?

Most consider it an honor to be asked to be the committee chair/advisor. When requesting, it is important to establish why you feel the invitee should be your chair.

  • What qualifications do they have that fit with your study?

  • Also, address possible compensation. What will the chair/advisor be paid for their service?

  • Finally, what are the university criteria for the Chair/Advisor, along with the dissertation/thesis criteria?

These are important elements for potential Chairs/Advisors to consider.
