Fishbowl Seminar Series

 

Within a totally glass encased transparent room, the CESG Fishbowl features a wall-to-wall whiteboard, screen and projector, Smartboard, surround sound and camera to facilitate local and remote collaboration. The Fishbowl anticipates and makes possible an era of tele-seminars where researchers from other universities, domestic or international, can deliver seminars from their home institutions featuring video of the speakers as well as slides.
