About AAARCC Fall 2025 Lunch & Learn Series

The AAARCC hosts a Lunch and Learn guest speaker series each semester on select Thursdays from 12pm-1pm at the AAARCC (915 5th St.) or a campus-specific location (listed for each session). Each Lunch and Learn features faculty, staff, and students sharing their research or expertise. We believe each Lunch and Learn session poses a valuable opportunity for students to learn from experts and engage in meaningful discussions. The theme for Fall 2025 is "Data in All Forms." See dates and topics below.

This event starts promptly at 12pm. This is a hybrid event. In-person seating is limited to the first 50 attendees. Please consider joining us over Zoom at: https://bit.ly/aaarccLL
