[Poscgrad] Academic Events in the Department (Winter 2025 Quarter)

[Miguel Carreras]

Dear all,

I hope this message finds everyone well. Happy new year!

In the winter quarter, we have an exciting lineup of speakers and other
department events. I wanted to share the information with you so you can
mark your calendars accordingly. Please consider attending as many of these
talks/events as you can (even if they fall outside your subfield) and sign
up to meet the visiting scholars. Active participation in academic events
contributes to the intellectual vibrancy of our department and strengthens
our research reputation.

As usual, we will share the flyers and itineraries for each of these
talks/events when we get closer to the event date. Please be on the lookout
for those emails in your inboxes.

If you are organizing another event (talk, conference, workshop), please
post the information at https://events.ucr.edu/, make sure to tag
the department, and let me and Adam know (especially if you need logistical
assistance).
