Welcome to the home of TWiki.PhDSeminar. This is a web-based collaboration area for the seminar"s schedule and annotations.

Introduction

The PhD Professional Seminar has been meeting every Friday from noon to 1PM in Room 409 West Hall for several semesters. The purpose is to discuss areas of professional development not served by our classes. The format is like a "brown bag seminar" where over a dozen first- and second-year doctoral students discuss a topic with a guest expert.
