The Mathematics Department of the University of Minnesota welcomes you to the Junior Colloquium! When school is in session, the Junior Colloquium is held every Monday at 12:20 P.M. in Vincent Hall 16. Talks are intended to be accessible and interesting to a broad audience, from undergraduate math students to faculty.

The current organizers of the Junior Colloquium are Prof. Richard McGehee, Walter Rusin, and Adil Ali. If you have questions about the seminar, or would like to recommend a speaker, please contact an organizer. Graduate students are especially encouraged to volunteer!

The ATaC seminar

The Junior Colloquium evolved from the ATaC seminar -- an acronym for "All Topics Are Considered," previously "Algebra, Topology and Combinatorics." [The name is due to Dr. Peter Webb.]
