Each colloquium will feature an external speaker from all major CS disciplines. It will center around an informal and interactive talk by the invited speaker, and will be preferably held either Tuesdays or Thursdays between 4:00-5:30 PM. We will serve light refreshments. It will be preceded and/or followed by small-scale meets between the speaker and interested faculty and students.
