M&I graduate students are required to attend MI250/Journal Club in their first and second years. The course is held on Tuesdays during the academic year from 5:30-6:30 PM in Fairchild D300. 

Each session, a student will present the Wednesday Seminar speaker's publication, and the faculty member will facilitate the discussion. Papers will be posted on this page as they become available.
