Seminars

Each Friday during the academic year we have seminars where faculty and students present information of interest. It's an excellent opportunity to hear about current research and for students an introduction to the academic exchange of information with peers.

We meet in Duckering 531 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Submitting an Abstract

At least a few days before your presentation please submit some information about your talk. The basics such as your name, title, etc will be collected so we can get the word out. We've set up a temporary form to collect your information. You will be able to find the link on this page.

After your talk we'll archive your abstract and any materials like slides you've made so we have a record of our seminars for the year.
