Colloquium Series Revived

Please come to the inaugural colloquium of the newly revived SCS Colloquium series this Thursday (October 17).

The idea of this series is to foster scientific community, discussion and buzz in the School. It will feature local and visiting speakers, with talks aimed at a general CS grad/faculty audience.

I hope to see you all at the talk, and at the reception in the Fishbowl afterwards!
