Tapas Seminar
Tuesday, Thursday 10:15 - 12:30 in 509 Lake Hall |
The Tapas seminar has two related purposes. The first purpose is to provide a forum where faculty can present an overview of their research activity. This is intended to assist new PhD students with the process of finding an adviser and choosing an area of research. The second purpose is to provide an opportunity for graduate students to prepare and present a research-style seminar on an area of current interest.
