The Forum provides opportunities for CSB/SJU community members to offer public presentations on their scholarly and other interests. Presentations are informal, generally lasting about 40 minutes, followed by a question and discussion period to end the hour. The Forum was on hiatus from March 2020 through Spring 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
