Suter Science Seminars
Each year, a variety of expert scientists visit EMU’s campus to share their insights.
Suter Seminars include the following:
- Science Research Seminars- explore how research questions are addressed, data collected, and inferences formed
- STEM Professional Seminars- EMU alumni share the story of their professional journey and discuss the nature of their profession
- Science and Humanities Seminars- explore connections between science, faith, social issues, and other topics from the humanities.
- EMU STEM students’ research- STEM students present research, including published research and research presented at national conferences
Suter Science Seminar presentations are made possible by the sponsorship of the Daniel B. Suter Endowment in Biology and the co-sponsorship of supporting programs.
Seminars are free and open to the public.
