Everyone is welcome to attend our talks. They are held every three to four weeks, usually on Thursdays, in B316 Tribble Hall, at 5 pm. Refreshments are available before the talk, so come early, get acquainted, and have a bite to eat! The talks are 50 minutes in length, followed by a short break for refreshments and then 30 minutes of Q&A.

Please call (336) 758-5359 if you will require special assistance.
