Seminar Sessions
Our weekly seminar program brings distinguished speakers to the department from academia and industry.
Arrangements are made for the speakers to meet with students to discuss research and other topics. The program results in graduates well-prepared for careers in industry, academics and national research laboratories.
Our seminars are typically Thursdays at 4 p.m. in Oliver Hall Physical Science Wing 1024, unless otherwise noted. Refreshments are provided.
