Scientia sponsors an annual series of colloquia (past years' programs are listed in our Archive page) devoted to the exploration of a broad topic from a variety of points of view. These colloquia are open to the general public. The topic of the 2010-2011 Scientia colloquia was "Failure!" Almost all of the colloquia consist of one speaker and a period for questions from the audience, and occasionally, there will be a panel of discussants, who respond to the speaker's remarks. Unless otherwise noted, the colloquia will take place on the specified Tuesdays at 4:00 p.m., in the McMurtry Auditorium, Duncan Hall (enter the main/foyer entrance and then room 1055, the fourth door right). A wine and cheese reception will follow each event.
The high point of the year is the distinguished Bochner Lecture, which is held in the evening, instead of in the afternoon.
