One of the fun and interesting features of graduate education in Economics at Minnesota is the system of PhD student workshops. This has been a feature of the department for many years and gives -- maybe forces? -- students who are working on dissertations to stand up in front of their peers and a couple of faculty members and talk about their work, often when it is in preliminary stages.
