College discussion events are designed to stimulate faculty interactions across departments and highlight the College’s distinctive research capabilities and educational strengths.

Events held in the fall and spring consist of adult beverages, appetizers and a program where intellectual conversation is the centerpiece. The fall event only also includes a full dinner.

Cross-Cutting Conversations: To explore research intersections, both within the college and with other units on campus, faculty, their graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, research scientists and key staff and supporters are invited to listen in on a special, interdisciplinary discussion, exploring frontiers in research, and meeting colleagues from other units. At least one expert in the College of Natural Sciences will delve into these topics alongside researchers from elsewhere on campus in each conversation. Our spring 2019 series features partnerships with the Dell Medical School.

Thank you to all who attended our inaugural conversation on Frontiers in Brain Research!

Teaching Discovery Dinner: To start off the academic year, an initial conversation held in each fall provides an opportunity for faculty to gather in a relaxed environment for intellectual discourse about improving excellence in the classroom. This event is held in conjunction with the Teaching Discovery Day each year.
