Monthly faculty Lightning Lounge events 

 

The Faculty Lightning Lounge occurs from 4-5pm on the 2nd Wednesday of the month during the academic year, September-November and February-April. Four speakers have seven minutes to talk about an interesting aspect of their research, scholarship, creative work, teaching, or outreach. There is time for questions. This event is a collaboration between Academic Affairs, OVPR, the Center for Teaching & Learning, and ADVANCE at UNM. See replays of past Lightning Lounge events here.
