You can use the "Look up Advisors" tool in either ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global or Dissertations & Theses @ Walden University to search for names of committee chairs (advisors).
Note: ProQuest uses the term advisor instead of chair.
This is useful if you have a chair with a common surname. It is also useful to see the different variations of the name. Sometimes names are entered differently, or there might be a misspelling. The Look up Advisors tool will show those.
