Sophomore Seminar
The sophomore seminar meets every Monday at 3:00-4:15 p.m., each fall semester. Sophomore CPaMS Scholars are required to take the 1-credit seminar course and attend every meeting. Other students are encouraged to attend any seminar meeting that they find interesting. The last fifteen minutes of each seminar with a guest speaker is a chance for informal chatting and networking.
During Fall 2020, the seminar was held on Zoom. Since then, the seminar has followed a hybrid structure to enable speakers to join who are not local to Baltimore.
