The Department holds colloquia each year throughout the fall and spring
semesters. These colloquia, open to the public, are typically held on
Thursday afternoons from 3:30pm-4:30pm, but sometimes occur at other times
as well.
The Department encourages its faculty to present talks on their research
or to host other speakers giving talks of interest to the Computer Science
Department community.
The best option, if the available dates and time work for you, is to
schedule a colloquium during one of the regular (Thursday 3:30pm-4:30pm)
colloquium time slots. The venue is already reserved, regular attendees
have already noted the times on their schedules, and other departmental
events are scheduled with the "colloquium time slot" in mind.
If the available regular colloquium time slots don't work for you, you may
request a colloquium to be scheduled at another time. Since many venues
tend to be heavily scheduled, the more flexibility in the possible dates
and times the more likely that we'll be able to find an appropriate venue
for the colloquium.
The following is a list of planned future colloquia,
as well as the availability of future
regular colloquium time slots.
If you are making the arrangements for a colloquium and simply want to add
it to the schedule, just let us know the details and we'll put the
colloquium on the departmental calendar and will also post bulletin board
and colloquium mailing list announcements at appropriate times before the
talk.
