The letter should verify that you are working on your dissertation proposal and state your dissertation proposal defense date. Please upload as a PDF (only). Please name the file as follows: LastName-FirstName-Nomination.pdf. If your chairperson would prefer to send us a nomination letter privately, they may do so by emailing it to joe.raffiee@marshall.usc.edu, but please indicate on the form if that is the case. Space permitting, we will work to accommodate multiple students from a single institution; if space is limited, only one student per institution will be admitted.
