Departments interested in running seminar announcements in Spectrum are reminded that the deadline for publication is Thursday at 5 p.m. of the week preceding the relevant date period. The optimum method for submitting seminar schedules is to send all information which is normally published in the listing, i.e., date, time, location, title, presenter, presenter affiliation, at the beginning of the semester. However, if departments can provide dates for seminars for the semester, and provide additional information as it becomes available, this will enable us to ensure that seminars can be added to Spectrum's master calendar for the semester.
Seminar information can be mailed to Spectrum at 0109, faxed to 1-4943, or e-mailed to Spectrum @ vt.edu. Listings are not accepted over the phone. For more information, call John Ashby at 1-6961.
