Physics & Astronomy Colloquium Series
Colloquia are Fridays at 4:10 p.m. in Clippinger 194.
Fall 2021
Aug. 27, Welcome Event (First Week) There will be a short online presentation from Dr. David Ingram at 4:10 p.m. You should have received a Teams invitation for that. After the chair's presentation, you are invited to attend the rest of the welcome event outside of Clippinger in the courtyard on the northside at ~4:30 p.m. We will use the first floor and second floor foyers if the weather is inclement (too hot and/or raining).
