Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment Seminar Series

The goal of this seminar is to provide a forum where students, faculty, and outside researchers can present and discuss topics related to the SAGE core research themes – air quality, public health, urban environment, agriculture, water, climate, and energy. All sessions are discussion-based, with about 30 minutes devoted to presentation(s), and 30 minutes devoted to discussion. Students enrolled in the course are expected to attend every week, participate actively in discussion, present a short overview of their on research (or related projects) at some time during the semester, and to contribute to seminar management as planned during the first course meeting.

Since many students are actively involved in the seminar already, this is a great opportunity to earn credit and to participate in seminar management. In other words, students will help choose the topics and speakers! This seminar series is an excellent opportunity for both new and established grad students to find the faculty and scientists on campus whose interests intersect their own, and then to engage speakers in discussion. The underlying aim of this series is to provide an environment for cross-pollination of new and exciting research ideas, that may lead to new directions in interdisciplinary research.
