We have our first talk of the year on Friday September 9^th at noon. 

This talk is by Dhanesh Krishnarao, the newest professor in our department.  His talk is entitled "A Protective Cocoon Around Small Nearby Galaxies: The Magellanic Corona" 

Career talks focus on a CC alum who is now out in the world.  The talks outline how the alum got from where you are sitting to where they are now.  You will also get to learn about what the alum is doing doing now. These are amazing opportunities for you to network and learn from someone who was once where you are now.

Friday October 7^th at noon we will have a career talk by Frank Quinlan who is a CC alum.  Dr. Quinlan currently works at NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) as a researcher in the field of optics.
