Science Seminar Speaker Series
The College of Arts and Sciences created its Science Seminar to provide our students with professional development opportunities. By attending Science Seminar events, we hope participants will:
- Interact with and learn from the speakers
- Identify complementary career opportunities
- Discover routes to employment and internship prospects
- Engage in valuable networking with professionals and peers
Science Seminar events are held once a month on Wednesdays during the 2024-25 academic year, from 12-1 p.m. They are free and open to the public. A light lunch will be served at each event.
