Seminar
The CS seminar... As of Jan 2025, we will meet at noon on Mondays (for about an hour, when classes are in session) to discuss or have a presentation on something.
The meetings are in TC 307, and available via Teams as well.
An email list that is use for communicating about what problems are being worked on, etc. is https://cs.indstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/club. You can sign up for that if you want to be in the loop on those types of things.
Whoever is organizing for that week can decide. To get us started, we'll keep a bullet list of topics here.
