We are proud to highlight student research & artistic pursuits, and to experiment with the methods of scholarly communication by the Georgia Tech community. Our digital repository, SMARTech, maintains an archive of LEC events.    

While we often seek out presenters, students and faculty members can propose events, too.

Upcoming Events:

Mon - Nov 09
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
  Undergraduate Research Kaleidoscope
Location: LEC Performance Space

Join us for a series of unique presentations on Undergraduate Research in the “Pecha Kucha” style. This style, along with the open space, informal attitude, and close-by cafe, should give the evening a looser feel and provide chances for the audience and presenters to interact during & after the event.

For additional information please contact Charlie Bennett at cb129@mail.gatech.edu.
