The Forensic Science Seminar Series is offered each semester by the Forensic Science Partnership. Speakers represent the many different specialized areas of forensic science and present their real-life experiences in their field.

Seminars are offered to students for credit but are also open to the public at no cost.

All seminars will be held on Fridays in the Richard E. Beaupre Center for Chemical and Forensic Sciences building: Beaupre 100, from 3:30 - 5:00 p.m.

Seating is limited due to COVID-19 restrictions, and preference will be given to students. All seminars will be live-streamed, as well as recorded for viewing at a later date.
