Huddle with the Faculty: Gameday Seminars combine the gridiron with the classroom.

New Gameday Seminars are a series of lively, one-hour sessions with leading Rutgers scholars on such timely topics as the 2008 presidential race, advances in our everyday painkillers, and athletic arenas from Roman times to today. Each 30- to 40-minute lecture will be followed by a question-and-answer period, leaving plenty of time for tailgating before the game. The seminars take place at the Busch Campus Center “Lecture Zone.”

Rutgers faculty members Barry Qualls, Wise Young, and Carla Yanni will present the first seminars on September 29; for a full list of seminars, visit gamedayseminars.rutgers.edu.
