RLL Executive Committee
Justin Davidson, Director (Spanish)
Mia Fuller, (Italian)
Mairi McLaughlin (French)
The Executive Committee overseas the running of the RLL Ph.D. program including liaising with the three departments, admissions to the program, organizing events, and overseeing student progress. Each student meets with the Executive Committee when they enter the program for the First Semester Screening Interview and again in their Fifth Semester Review as they begin to plan their Qualifying Examinations. Students at any point in their career in the RLL program can request a meeting with the Executive Committee for advising purposes. The Executive Committee is made up of three members: one representative each from the departments of French, Italian Studies and Spanish and Portuguese, with one of these members serving as the Executive Director. The departments are responsible for appointing their representatives and the Executive Director position rotates between the three departments every three years.
All ladder-rank faculty in the Departments of French, Italian Studies, and Spanish & Portuguese are available to work with RLL students and to serve, if they agree to do so, as members of qualifying examination and dissertation committees in RLL.
