How to request a presentation:
For best likelihood that we can accommodate your request, make your request at least two weeks in advance. Sometimes we are able to accommodate short-term requests; sometimes we're not able. Please note we are heavily booked early in the semester and prior to career fairs.
Complete the on-line presentation request form.
  In addition to requested date(s), start and end times, and location, please provide information on the size and composition — graduate, undergraduate, class levels, majors — of your group.
The advisor who can accommodate your request will contact you to discuss details.
