Speaker Colloquium Course
Fall 2016: Speaker Colloquium Course (2 credits)
The Challenge Program Speaker Colloquium Course is meant to welcome students into the fascinations of research. The class showcases six innovative, charismatic scholars, each from a different department, and representing all five of UCSC’s academic divisions, to talk about their research and to share with students what got them interested in research in their fields in the first place: how they went from being students to scholars in their fields. Students have a chance to interact with these scholars both in the lectures and, twice in the quarter, at intimate dinners held in a provost’s house.
Lectures as part of the Speaker Colloquium Course are free and open to the public. Details can be found on the flier below:
