Thompson Hall Sci & Math Seminar

Thompson Hall Sci & Math Seminar
information for speakers

Schedule

These seminars are regularly scheduled throughout the academic year and are generally held from 4 to 5 P.M. on Thursday. The main page shows allocated dates.

Topics

We are constantly seeking speakers on all science and mathematics related topics. They may be students, faculty or university staff, or experts from outside the university. The talks should be targeted for upper-level undergraduate students of the sciences, with a chance to reach beyond that during the last few minutes.

Facilities

Thompson 175 has seating for 90. It has ample chalk boards and a digital projection system.

Typical attendance is 30 to 50 people.

Scheduling

Priority is mostly first come, first served (with appropriate deference to the scheduling needs of outside guest speakers). You may reserve a date, but the reservation may have to give way to a speaker with a title, abstract, and firm commitment to a date. The main page is the best indicator of what's going to happen, so don't make travel plans until you see your name in lights. :-)

Publicity and publication

These pages announce upcoming talks, often a full term in advance. In addition, flyers are posted around campus the day before the talks. Links are maintained to past years' pages.

Each speaker is encouraged to provide at their earliest opportunity:

Their name,
Their professional affiliation,
The title of their talk, and
An abstract or other information regarding their talk.
- It's best if the abstract is submitted in html format so that it can be accessible by all browsers.
- Second choice is plain text file.
- Third choice is Adobe PDF format.
- Last choice is Microsoft Word (.doc) format.

If you are interested (even remotely) in making a presentation, or know someone who might be interested, contact Randy Bentson. We will track possible and proposed speakers, try to coordinate with affiliated groups on campus, and (on rare occasions) contribute to the cost of bringing a speaker to campus.
