Graduate Student Faculty Colloquium 2016

Sponsored by the Graduate Student Council and Graduate Office.

The Graduate Student-Faculty Colloquium is a chance for graduate students and faculty members to better understand the perceived role of graduate education in the training of scientists. Graduate students will share their experiences as contemporary Caltech students, and faculty will contextualize their view of graduate students in their labs. Panels will be followed by interactive, focused discussions. The Caltech President, Thomas Rosenbaum, will welcome participants at 9am.
