The
Sackler School Frontiers Seminar Series was created in 2004
for the purpose of enhancing our spirit of community
and increasing communication among our different graduate
training programs. Our own faculty, Sackler alumni, and outstanding
scientists identified by the Graduate Student Council will
take part in these programs. Speakers will present their
work in a general seminar appropriate for a broad scientific
audience and those from outside our own community will interact
with faculty and students during their visit to the campus.
Up to six seminars will be given each academic year;
two will be presented by the Tufts faculty selected to receive
the Zucker Research Prizes. Others may be presented
by alumni of the Sackler School and by speakers selected
by the Graduate Student Council. Events surrounding
the seminars will include time to meet with graduate students
and faculty. Alumni will also spend time visiting their graduate
program and some speakers will present at forums addressing
topics related to science and science education.
