Research Seminar Series was tointroduce and highlight Louisiana Tech’s research programs and expertise to the localcommunity. The University is located in a small community of ~22,000 people that centerson the University. Being the only nationally-ranked university within a 200 mile radius it isimportant that it serve as a resource and educate members of the community on scientificadvances and educational opportunities. To that end, all seminars are open to the public,advertised in the local paper, and there are at least 1 or 2 seminars each year that are designedspecifically for a more general audience.
