Welcome.

Welcome to our “Lunchtime Lecture” series. Faculty, doctoral students, undergraduate students, adjuncts and visiting faculty are all invited to use our series as a forum to present research project, practice before speaking at a conference, or just to explore some ideas and receive feedback from the audience. Participation as a speaker or audience member is open to all, on-campus and off. If you know of someone who might enjoy participation, kindly invite them to join in!
