STudent REsEarch TalkS at George Mason University

Please see our new website at StReeTs for the most recent information.

The Student Research Talks (StReeTs) at George Mason University is a student-run seminar, overseen by benevolent leader Dr. Sean Lawton. Its purpose is to give graduate and advanced undergraduate students a forum to discuss research and other topics of interest as well as the opportunity to practice giving talks to colleagues. All students are welcome to attend. If you would like to present a topic please contact one of the organizing committee (Tracey Oellerich and Cigole Thomas).

Here is a problem page that includes problems and discussion concerning ideas from talks: Problems and Discussion

Time and location:

Alternate Fridays 2:30-3:20 pm, Exploratory Hall room 4106.
