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. If you would like to present a paper or want more information about the Student Seminar Series, you can contact Ellen Houston at ehouston@newschool.edu or Josh Bivens at 278287@newschool.edu.
