Department Seminar

0.5 Credits · Level: Graduate

The Departmental Seminar consists primarily of weekly seminars given by faculty from outside of the Biology Department. In this course, students will be exposed to cutting-edge research from nationally and internationally recognized scholars and mentors in the biological sciences. In doing so, research will be contextualized into existing knowledge frameworks, and professional networks will be forged through formal and informal interactions with the speaker. While all graduate students are expected to attend as members of the Biology Department community, 1st and 2nd year graduate students earn credit through attendance, participation in a post-seminar discussion led by the seminar speaker, and two written reflections.
