TOM Seminars

The "TOM Seminar" is a weekly (Thursdays) seminar, where faculty, students, and guests from other institutions and departments can present their work-in-progress. Very often, the work has not yet been published, even as a working paper. This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to present fledgling work and benefit from the comments and suggestions of colleagues. Join us Thursdays, from 1-2:30 p.m. in Baker Library 102.
