Unless otherwise indicated, the Colloquium is held from 4:00-5:00 pm on Tuesdays. (i.e. it starts 4:10 pm) Cookies, tea, and coffee are served in the Common room at 3:45-4:00 before the Colloquium. John McCarthy (Washington University) has written a nice article describing how to give a good colloquium (Canad. Math. Soc. Notes vol 35 no. 3-4, Sept. 1999). We also have a local guide which contains useful information about our colloquium and environs. Finally, we have a detailed set of instructions for hosting.
