February Lectures in NYC
>> 2.04.2010
The great advantage of schooling in New York, or any other sprawling city, for that matter, is that on any given day you can find a world renown academic lecturing at a nearby campus...or at least one that can be reached by a brief subway ride. Below you will find a list highlighting some of the free (yes, that's another wonderful perk of being near so many other schools) talks, completely open to the public and being given at various schools by some amazing academics. So feel free to wander in, make yourself at home and soak in the knowledge.
