Interdisciplinary Brownbag Series

The interdisciplinary brownbag series is organized by the Finance, Accounting, and Strategy departments. This is co-ordinated by Lalitha Naveen, Sudipta Basu, and Ram Mudambi. Please contact these faculty if you would like to present a paper in this series. Seminar time is 12:00-1:00

This is not updated since Spring 2018 as I no longer do the co-ordination for the interdisciplinary brownbag series. My colleague, Sam Rosen, now organizes this series.
