Guidelines for Colloquium Speakers
Here are suggestions for giving a good UNL colloquium. Perhaps the most important things for a speaker in the mathematics colloquium series to remember are:

• Colloquia are to be 50 minutes long.
• The audience for a colloquium expects a lecture geared to non-specialists. Target your lecture for a very general mathematical audience---a first or second year graduate student should understand most of the talk. It is usually a good idea to remind the audience of definitions.
• The room is equipped so that a blackboard or transparencies may be used; other needs can usually be accommodated. Please let your local host know what you require for your lecture.
