Graduate student seminars answer some of the big picture
questions about graduate life. The seminars target specific age groups (grad
years, not biological) as well as the general population. If you have any suggestions
for seminar topics or format, please contact Katarzyna Wilamowska or Mira Dontcheva -- this year's grad student seminar coordinators, or the faculty graduate student advisor (Anna Karlin).
This year we plan to have three student meetings, instead of just one
end-of-year gripe session.
