The Albert Dorman Colloquium Series

Spring 2025

The Albert Dorman Colloquium Series focuses on the interface between Science, Technology and Society. Colloquia normally meet during university common hours each semester. They feature talks by - and conversations with - industry, academic, and government leaders on a wide range of topics. Field trips to corporate, scientific, cultural, and community organizations are also included. In addition, some important campus political and cultural events are co-sponsored by the Honors College and regarded as part of the Colloquium Series.

Dorman Scholars must attend at least 2 colloquia and Dean's Scholars must attend at least one colloquium each semester. Both cohorts are strongly encouraged to attend more than the required amount. Please click on the colloquia titles below for more details and register through the Dorman Difference (powered by Suitable).

Regulations for Colloquia attendance: Attendance will be recorded at the entrance to the colloquium via the Dorman Difference (powered by Suitable). Dorman scholars who attend the event will then need to complete the colloquium survey, also through the Dorman Difference (powered by Suitable). The survey must be completed (within 10 days of the event) in order to receive credit for the colloquium. Scholars arriving more than 10 minutes after the start of the colloquium or leaving the colloquium early will not be granted credit for the colloquium.
