The SENR Seminar Series is held weekly during the autumn, winter, and spring academic terms. The seminar series invites speakers from North America and around the world, in addition to prominent scholars from the OSU campus and our own faculty and doctoral students.
Speakers address a variety of topics that are relevant to the major environmental problems and natural resource management issues of our day. The seminar series reflects the multi-disciplinary nature of the School of Environment and Natural Resources in that a variety of experts contribute from fields as diverse as the humanities and social sciences, traditional resource management disciplines, and the biological and physical sciences.
