Arts & Lectures
CLASP 2006-2007 Series | 2007-2008 Series

The consortium hosts colloquia and seminar series around topics of common interest. Additionally, there are periodic informal gatherings held outside of the university. This Fall the seminar series topic was “Does Science Matter," and presentations were developed by faculty from across campus to consider the question of how science matters in what they do.
