Participate this fall in a Discovery Seminar!

[Academy Events]

We hope you are enjoying the summer break! We thought to remind you of an exciting opportunity offered by the University at Buffalo for undergraduate students to participate in the Discovery Seminar Program during fall 2009.

UB’s Discovery Seminar Program offers a small class experience for first- and second-year students, providing you the opportunity to engage with a distinguished faculty member around a thought-provoking and challenging topic. The goals of this course are to help students:
• Explore a topic in depth in a comfortable, small group setting;
• Get to know an outstanding faculty member who loves teaching undergraduates;
• Try out an unfamiliar subject in an environment conducive to exploration and discovery;
• Understand the academic challenges and rewards of attending a research university; and
• Improve skills in critical thinking and in oral and written expression.

Fall 2009 topics include:
* Comic Books in US Culture
* Pirates
* America’s Amusement Parks
* Teachings of the Ancients
* Biology of Gender
* Understanding Terrorism
* Solving Crimes Using Referent Tracking ...and more!
