CSREG Speaker Series
CSREG’s speaker series is driven by faculty interests in organizing and bringing to campus outside scholars around a topic related to the Center’s mission. Funds and administrative support are available to the faculty organizer. Topics are wide ranging and the approach to the series is open in regards to what kinds of events and activities are included.
