The Graduate Logic Seminar is an informal space where graduate students and professors present topics related to logic which are not necessarily original or completed work. This is a space focused principally on practicing presentation skills or learning materials that are not usually presented in a class.

• When: Mondays 3:30-4:30 PM
• Where: Van Vleck B235
• Organizer: Mariya Soskova

The talk schedule is arranged at the beginning of each semester. If you would like to participate, please contact the organizers.
