Brown Bag Series

The Smith Strategy Brown Bag series was created to allow strategy researchers at Smith to present early, cutting-edge research. The talks feature a collaborative atmosphere of discussing presented paper. Within the strategy group, we feel that such active engagement and sharing of research with colleagues plays a key role in the research process. Speakers include both PhD students and faculty in the Strategy group. Brown bag talks are generally held on weeks in which we do not have an outside guest speaker and are open to the entire Smith and UMD communities. For more information, contact Cristian Dezso or Ben Hallen.
