Where and when?
Meetings are typically scheduled every other Tuesday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:20 p.m. (see specific quarter for updates). If you plan on attending, you should register for the course (URBDP 598 – PhD Colloquium Section) for a single credit.
Requesting a day to present
To request a date for your presentation, or to suggest a topic or guest presenter, email other students taking the course. Please indicate the date you want as well as the topic you intend to present. Include files and/or links if you want.
What to present?
The colloquium can be as formal or informal as you want, but if it is your day you need to lead the session. In the past sessions have been used for such purposes as:
- job talks and job search strategies
- practice sessions for conferences or other public speaking engagements
- bouncing ideas about research topics
- funding strategies
- publishing strategies
- general exams
Why register?
- you will get to know what other students are doing and vice versa
- you get to practice your talks
- this is guaranteed to be the easiest 1 credit per quarter you will ever take
- there might be soup!
