qualifying examinations (written and oral), and other advising conferences with students,
- serving as liaison between the department, Graduate
Division, UHM, and any other such agencies with which
the graduate program comes in contact,

- scheduling and conducting graduate faculty meetings,
- publicizing the availability of achievement scholarships
and nominating students for such awards,
