Colloquium [Show Abstracts]
Spring 2012

Description: Our colloquium talks are aimed at faculty and graduate students. Talks should lean more towards being broadly accessible rather than being specialized like a seminar talk. The colloquium is preceded by tea and cookies at 3:30 in the department lounge and usually followed by dinner with the speaker.
