Each month during the regular academic calendar, IPIA hosts an international seminar from an on-campus or off-campus speaker. The monthly seminar provides an opportunity to learn about projects and connect with others who share an interest in international development. All members of the campus community are welcome to attend. Feel free to bring your own lunch; IPIA furnishes coffee and dessert.
