Each semester, FSAD offers seminars on topics important to our teaching and research.  The typical audience consists of graduate students, academic staff and faculty, however these seminars are open to the general public.  For Fall 2020, Seminars will be held on Fridays at 1pm via Zoom, unless otherwise noted.  For more information, contact Karen Steffy.
