About the CBE Brown Bag Series
The CBE Brown Bag Series is a forum for faculty members in the College of Business and Economics and external speakers to present research in their respective areas. This forum is an opportunity for faculty to discuss their works-in-progress (scholarly, pedagogical or practitioner in nature, with potential for innovation or impact) and to receive feedback from colleagues.
The goal of the Brown Bag Series is to foster a vibrant and collaborative research environment by providing a space for interactive discussion as well as possible collaboration on scholarly work.
Every semester faculty from several departments in the College of Business and Economics present their working papers. The Brown Bag also includes invited research presentations from speakers from neighboring institutions such as UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Claremont Graduate University, among others.
Format
Each presenter will be given 10-15 minutes. Each presentation will be followed by time for Q&A. Each sessions will include time for attending faculty to have an (informal) interactive discussion of their ongoing research and opportunities to collaborate. Light refreshments will be served.
