   Department Head writes a letter addressed to the Dean of the Graduate School requesting the appointment or replacement of a Graduate Coordinator. The letter must include the faculty member's name and the starting date of the appointment with some background on the individual's qualifications for the position.
2. This letter must include the following contact information about the incoming Graduate Coordinator:
   • Coordinator's name as it should appear on the Graduate School Web site
   • Telephone number as it should appear on the Web site
   • Telephone number for internal use by Graduate School staff (if different
   from previous number)
   • E-mail address for all e-mail correspondence
