Diversity Across Curriculum (DAC) Seminar Series

The Diversity across the Curriculum Seminar Series (DAC) consists of roundtable discussions and speakers designed to increase knowledge of the diversity of research at ASU and across disciplines and promote networking within the ASU community.

An assembly of ASU scholars participate in these seminars sharing advice and skills, and student roundtables exchange information on current research. DAC consists of speakers and dialogues that will enhance the experience gained from within your academic unit.

Previous events have included ethical and legal issues of research, the Interdisciplinary Graduate Academy (IGA), professional development programs, entrepreneurship and funding opportunities at ASU. 

The Graduate College invites all interested parties to participate in the open seminars. Reservations are strongly encouraged as lunch will be served! Provide your name and the event you would like to attend to grad-RSVP@asu.edu or call the Graduate College RSVP line at (480) 965-4102
