SW Fellows: Your SW Colleagues and Community

SW Scholars and Fellows monthly meetings

Regular meetings are held for Stengl-Wyer Scholars and Fellows. This is a great time to share your research and invite speakers for talks and workshops. It is expected that Scholars and Fellows will regularly attend in order to develop professional relationships and a sense of community in the group. These meetings are held monthly during the lunch hour. Lunch will be provided for the meetings. Additionally, funding is provided for inviting two non-UT speakers per year. You may also invite UT-affiliated speakers and there is no cap on this.

Rules on hosting speakers are on the Invited Speakers page.

Seminars

Additionally, Ecolunch is a weekly seminar series hosted by IB where speakers present on topics generally related to ecology. Presentations range from research progress reports to practice conference talks to well-versed presentations of long term research programs. Eating lunch during the presentation is highly encouraged. If you are interested in signing up, stay on the lookout for emails sent by the event organizers close to the semester start.
