How do you ask a professor to be on your thesis committee email?
03Dear Professor [Name], My name is [your name], and I am in my final year at [college or faculty name]. With the recommendation of my thesis advisors, [name of professors who are advising you], I am writing to humbly request that you be a member of my thesis committee.
How do you address a thesis committee?
What would be the best option to address them:
- Dear Committee members.
- Dear Committee.
- Dear Professors ABC, PQR, XYZ.
- Respected Sirs.
- Sirs.
- Dear All.
How do you address an email to a committee?
Email greetings to groups
If it’s a more formal email, you can use greetings such as “Dear Coworkers,” “Dear Colleagues” or “Dear Hiring Committee.”
How do you say thank you to a committee member?
Show them that you paid attention by thanking them for the specific roles that they played and the specific ways that they helped you get to the end. Saying something like, “thank you for being on my committee, without you I would have had to have somebody else on my committee,” isn’t going to endear you to them.
