Community of Scholars
The “Community of Scholars Seminar Series” is an interdisciplinary research talks series formerly known as “Griffin Seminars”. The seminar series aims to offer opportunities to Ohio State Marion faculty and students to deliver professional talks on their research or other academic activities. The function of the seminar series is to foster an atmosphere of collegiality and interdisciplinary discussions on topics of interest to Ohio State Marion faculty and students. The seminar will be offered during spring semester with spring 2022 being the inaugural semester. Students are particularly encouraged to attend.
