Speaker Series
The Consortium has a database of speakers who are willing to visit other consortium campuses to
give a colloquium. Consortium funds are available to pay for travel, lodging, and meals
and the online application process is simple.
- Search the Speaker Database. Identify a potential speaker and contact them about visit dates. If you'd like to invite a speaker who is not in the current database, but is at one of the consortium campuses, go ahead. We will add their name and seminar title to the database.
- Apply for MCMS Speaker Funding request for the visit.
- Add yourself and your seminar title to the database.
