Student Events

CoCo CRISPIE is a student seminar series under CoCo, and we are coming back for our second semester. CRISPIE stands for Complexity Research Initiative for Student Presentations and Informal Exchanges, and is a place for students to share research ideas, practice talks, and to discuss complexity in an informal, peer-to-peer setting (no faculty at meetings). And yes, we have pizza :) 

We will be meeting in person, but a Zoom link will be shared for those who wish to participate remotely!

If you are interested, please fill out this form to pick which day you would prefer to meet and so we can get an early gauge on participation.

CoCo Student Faculty Mixer

After a series of engaging lightning talks and speed-dating events in the mixer over the past few semesters, please join us for a relaxed afternoon lunch this time around -- where you get to interact with various students and faculty from across the department and the university, and enjoy some great food! We will also be joined by our CoCo seminar speaker (presenting right before the mixer!), Dr. Juniper Lovato.
