We offer at least 4 colloquium events per semester so there are ample opportunities to meet this requirement. There will be a sign-up sheet at each colloquium to record attendance.
These events are opportunities to network with other students, faculty and staff members, as well as with guests.

A collection of past Capstone projects is also available for current students to explore what our graduates have written.
