The Department of Physics at Western Michigan University offers workshops, seminars and colloquia throughout the year.
colloquia
The department sponsors frequent colloquia on physics research and topics of more general interest. They are attended by our graduate and undergraduate students, University faculty, emeriti and members of the community.
Colloquia are open to all and there is no charge to attend. For more information, please call the Department of Physics, (269) 387-4940. Metered visitor parking is available in the Miller Auditorium ramp.
Upcoming
Colloquia will resume this fall.
