                          GRADUATE STUDENT SEMINAR Spring 2014

This Spring semester MCTP-supported graduate students Erik Medina and Kenny Anglin organized a grad student seminar. This seminar is set up as a course the students can get credit for and thereby fullfill their seminar requirement. To get credit the students must attend and summarize in writing 10 seminars, of their choice, most of which must be held at our department. In Spring 2014, 10 graduate students signed up for this course. The seminar meets every other week.
