This fall we will only have one seminar in the School which will be held on Tuesdays at 4:00 PM. The seminar will be organized like the Friday seminar in the past. That is, this is the series in which graduate students will give their formal seminars. As a reminder, during the course of their graduate studies, students enrolled in a Master’s program are expected to give one seminar before their Thesis defense seminar and students enrolled in a Ph.D. program are expected to give two seminars before their Dissertation defense seminar. This seminar is also open for any of you in the School who would like to give a seminar - including faculty, postdocs, sabbatical visitors, etc. Also, if there are members of other academic units and/or local scientists from other disciplines or services with a topic of interest to members of the School, send me or other members of the seminar committee their contact information and we will see if we can arrange a seminar. In addition, if you have a visitor to Tucson with research that would be of interest and this individual would be willing to give a seminar, this is the place! Please keep in mind that, other than a speaker to be invited by our graduate students, we will have very limited funds to support visits from outside speakers.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'> If you would like to give a seminar or have a suggestion for a seminar speaker, and/or you have any questions about the seminar, please contact a committee member or me. Below is the fall schedule which is fairly wide open and I am particularly looking for those that would be willing to fill in the early dates.
