Highlighting faculty research
The Beckman Institute Director's Seminar lecture series was designed to encourage interdisciplinary
collaboration among Beckman faculty members. The series will continue to be hosted virtually for the fall 2021 semester. The monthly seminars offer the opportunity
to learn about Beckman researchers and their fields of study. Registration is required.
With the continued uncertainty caused by COVID-19, the Beckman Institute will host several fall 2021 events online. The Beckman Cafe now offers online ordering with contactless pickup.
