CEPA Student Seminar
Series
The Student
Seminar Series provides an opportunity for students to present works-in-progress
to their peers and, if the presenter chooses, to professors as well.
The purpose is to provide a congenial atmosphere for students to
develop their presention skills and to receive feedback on their
research projects. Talks will be scheduled roughly every other week
throughout the semester and will be held in the CEPA conference
room on the fifth floor of the 80 Fifth Avenue building.
If you would
like to present a paper or want more information about the Student
