Overview
Please join us on the first Friday of every month for an afternoon of intellectual discussion and socializing. The aim is twofold: to hear from outside speakers and from Gallatin colleagues about their latest research, and to create a space where we can gather in a relaxed social setting, unwind, and connect as colleagues over food and drinks.
All First Friday talks take place at 2pm in 1 Washington Place, Room 527, unless otherwise noted, followed by happy hour at a nearby establishment.
