*Environmental scientists and other professionals from outside Ohio State University may participate in the ESGP through its Affiliated Scientist Program. Scientists who are not currently associated with a specific disciplinary program or department at Ohio State can apply directly to the Director of ESGP. Appointment to the Affiliated Scientist Program is based on the same criteria applied to regular faculty. Affiliated Scientists appointed directly may participate in the ESGP seminar program, student recruitment activities and social events. In addition, directly appointed Affiliated Scientists are eligible to be appointed as members of the M.S. and Ph.D. advisory committees of ESGP students(though not as advisors), subject to the recommendation of the ESGP Graduate Studies Chair.

Students should be aware that having an Affiliated Scientist on their committee will require extra steps in the process of creating their committee, ie., special permission must be gotten from the Graduate School. The process is thus-your advisor should write a letter addressed to the ESGP Graduate Studies Committee with supporting reasons for how and why the Affiliated Scientist will contribute to your committee. Once approved, the GSC Chair will send a support packet (including a letter from the Chair and a copy of the advisor letter and a CV) directly to the Graduate School also supporting this request.
