For each seminar, one or two students present research which was conducted on- or off-campus. Offered roughly twice a month during the academic year, these talks are sponsored by the Psychology SEPC. Dates will be announced to majors by email and posted on the science division calendar on GrinnellShare (login required).
The student educational policy committee, or SEPC, is a student-faculty liaison group which provides faculty with student input on professors, candidates, curriculum, and other departmental issues. It also organizes social events within the department. Elections are held in the spring.
