General Suggestions/Information for Colloquia

  • The dates are first come, first served.
  • If the preferred date is reserved by a UNL math faculty member, please talk to him/her about trading dates so a visiting speaker can have the preferred date.
  • It is preferred that the talk be at a level that can be understood by graduate students.
  • Test the technology before the talk.
  • Figure out ahead of time who will introduce the speaker.
