Colloquium / Seminar
The Department holds a weekly colloquium on Mondays at 12:20 p.m. in the Morison Seminar Room (adjacent to the first floor atrium). A seminar calendar is available on the EEB department website. Coffee, tea, and cookies are available before the colloquium. Contact: dept_eandeb@cornell.edu
Faculty members who host colloquium speakers are required to obtain budget approval by the faculty coordinator (Andy Moeller) before the beginning of the semester the event will take place. Faculty hosts are responsible for arranging for someone to operate any needed equipment. Faculty hosts who arrange "special" colloquia (other than the regularly scheduled colloquia) must arrange for someone to set up coffee and operate equipment.
