The Department offers a series of semi-weekly, lunchtime talks given by graduate students
and faculty on their current research. These Brown Bag Talks offer an opportunity to catch up
on what other people in the department are working on, to present preliminary papers before
conference talks and get feedback, and to learn something new about research interests outside
your own field.
