Journal Club

Journal Club is an opportunity for all interested students, faculty, and staff to discuss papers suggested by the guest speakers prior to the semi-annual symposium. Each meeting will focus on one of the speakers and discussion will be led by a student volunteer. Below are links to the speakers and their suggested readings listed under the date they will be discussed. Please note, the guest speakers themselves do not usually attend these meetings.

To sign up for the journal club reminders go to the Journal Club profile on MCommunity and click Join Group or email Anna Cronenwett.

Student members of the Journal Club have the opportunity to personally get to know our guest speakers by dining with them, escorting them to events, and introducing them at the symposium. Click the Volunteer button below to sign up.
