The Department of Neuroscience hosts recurring events every year to engage with neuroscience students, the college community, and the public.
These events range from panel discussions with alumni and current students, to lectures given by guest speakers, to research presentations by current faculty and students (and everything in between).
Brain Awareness Week, Glassman Symposium, and the Annual Mind and Society Dialogue Lecture
Brain Awareness Week consists of guest lectures (including the Annual Mind and Society Dialogue Lecture), poster presentations (the Robert B. Glassman Memorial Brain, Mind, and Behavior Symposium), and more. The annual Brain Awareness Week is a nationally recognized innovative academic outreach program at the College with the overall goal to educate and engage on broad issues of Brain, Mind, and Behavior.
Alumni Career Panels
Since first offering our major in 2010, the Neuroscience Department has invited our alumni (each fall) and current majors (typically in spring) to lead professional development panel for current students on how their investment in neuroscience has helped them prepare for and embark into diverse career pathways leading to rewarding professional careers.
Seminar Series
Since first offering our major in 2010, the Neuroscience Department has offered a yearlong series of interdisciplinary seminars on diverse topics that affect human society bringing in nationally noted experts to our community. All events are open to the larger community and public.
