Travel Reimbursement for non-WHOI or non-MIT Committee Members

The WHOI Academic Programs Office will pay reasonable costs* for one outside member to attend the thesis proposal defense and the thesis defense. It is recommended that students keep in touch with these members between visits using email, telephone, videoconferencing or interacting with them at professional meetings.

* Reasonable costs consist of airfare (or mileage if driving), one to two nights' lodging (depending upon distance traveled), per diem for meals, and transportation to and from airports.
