Area Chairs
The SLAT Area Chairs serve the role as curriculum advisors and content areas for the four principle research areas and the two minor concentrations in SLAT. Students who have questions about adding a concentration as a major or minor, who would like to obtain approval to count independent study or internship credits toward the SLAT degree, or who need signature approval on their SLAT Maps should communicate with the appropriate Area Chair.
