Faculty Seminar Topics
Our faculty would like to participate in your chemistry and/or biochemistry seminar programs. The talks below are adapted specifically for undergraduate student recruitment; however, we will be glad to work with your department so that the level of the material is appropriate for the audience.
To include a member of our faculty in your fall and/or spring schedule, please contact Director of Graduate Studies James R. Horn, jrhorn@niu.edu or 815‐753‐8654. If you have specific dates to fill, we would suggest that you provide a priority list of speakers and/or dates to ensure the availability of your choices.
We look forward to visiting your campus and informing your students and faculty about the exciting research and graduate study opportunities in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Northern Illinois University.
Expenses may be borne by NIU if the visit provides an opportunity for student recruitment and your institution is within a reasonable travel/driving distance from NIU. Please contact James R. Horn, jrhorn@niu.edu or 815‐753‐8654, to further discuss the availability of such funding.
