Faculty Colloquia

The CSREG faculty colloquia series enables Bucknell faculty to present their ongoing research and works-in-progress to fellow faculty members and students. Each year three to five faculty members present their research on a wide range of topics. We often invite faculty who have received CSREG summer research grants to present the results of their projects in these colloquia.
