When should I talk to my supervisory committee? 

Associate Dean Russell Steele answers this question: "I have a supervisor committee, but I'm not sure how to go about building relationships with them. They don't work in my specific area exactly, so I don't run into them very much or have specific questions I need to ask them about my research. But I would still like to be mentored by them. How can I approach them about this? What could I ask for?"
