"The Mutual Expectations of Research Advisors and Advisees Document recognizes how vital the advisor-advisee relationship is," said Bonnie Ferri, vice provost for Graduate Education and Faculty Development. "We hope that you'll take the time to go through it with your advisor to find ways for you to work together in a more healthy and productive manner.” 

The document, which was developed in 2016, sets forth guidelines for both you and your advisors and faculty members. The document has been approved by both Graduate Student Government and Tech’s Faculty Governance.  

Here are a few expectations for advisors outlined in the document:
