The Seminar Series will be held from 12 Noon-3:00 PM monthly January through June and September through December 2013 alternating each month between the Hershey and University Park campuses. Attendance at the seminars is required for the BIRCWH Scholars. An informal networking luncheon will be held at noon with each seminar beginning at 12:30 PM. Please find below the list of 2013 BIRCWH Seminar Series dates, alternating campus locations, and seminar titles and speakers (to date).
