Structure: Each week, one or two faculty members will introduce their research, including basic concepts, open problems that might make good thesis problems, the kinds of courses their students should plan to take, and/or anything else that they deem worth discussing. Essentially, each talk is a 30-60 minute infomercial about the research of one faculty member. Some faculty members will give 30 minute talks while others will give longer ones (in which case there will only be one speaker that day). The length is chosen by the faculty member.

Time: 4-5 on those Tuesdays for which somebody is listed on the schedule below

Place: Weber 117

Graduate students: You should seriously consider coming to as many of these as you can if you do not have an advisor yet. This is a good way to see some of your options. PLEASE NOTE that faculty members generally have busy schedules (and sometimes go on sabbatical), so the faculty members on the schedule below are not the only ones interested in taking on students!
