Statistics Seminars 2011-12
The Statistics Seminars are held in Sequoia Hall, Room 200, at 4:15pm on
Tuesdays. Coffee is served at 3:45pm in the Lounge on the first floor. Should the audience for a seminar exceed the seating capacity of the
regular meeting place, an alternate location is generally available (usually Bldg 370 Room 370),
and notes or other signage will indicate the temporary change of venue.
We provide a LaTeX template
for speakers to use when submitting the abstract for a
seminar (sample PDF output here). Using
this template makes it straightforward for us to post the details of
the talk promptly and without unintended errors that might creep in
if we were to transcribe the abstract from another source.
You can receive a weekly announcement of seminar offerings by subscribing to our mailing list at any time!
