Graduate Student Seminars 2006-2007 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 Kate Everitt or Neva Cherniavsky -- 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.
