[edit] Goals

The CSGSA Graduate Student Colloquium Series is a colloquium series by, of, and for graduate students. Its goals are the following:

  1. To provide a venue for members of the department community, especially graduate students, to learn about research being done in groups other than their own;
  2. To provide opportunities for grad students to practice speaking to an audience of computer scientists who are not necessarily familiar with their subfield; and
  3. To foster greater interaction between grad students in different research groups.

[edit] We need you!

We are always looking for speakers. Please contact gco@cs.umn.edu if you are interested in giving a talk, or if you have any questions.

We are also looking for people who are interested in helping out with organizing the colloquia series. Please email us if this is you!

Talks can cover current or past research, and they should be accessible to a general computer science audience. The speaker's time allotment is one hour, but you should feel free to give a shorter talk if you prefer. Team talks given by two or three people are also very welcome. Speakers typically field a very large number of questions; 40 minutes of planned speaking will probably end up filling the hour. Talks are usually fairly informal, but if you want a more formal structure, we are happy to provide that too (let us know in this case).
