The Department of Computer Science of Colorado State University, in cooperation with ISTeC (Information Science and Technology Center), offers the BMAC seminar series as a service to all who are interested in computer science. BMAC stands for Barney's Monday Afternoon Club which was the name of our first seminar series started by Barney Marschner, a past chair of the Department of Computer Science. Some seminars may be scheduled for days other than Monday; their dates are in red. For questions, suggestions, or to schedule a BMAC talk contact Yashwant Malaiya at this email address or by telephone at 970-491-7031. For help finding the locations of our seminar meetings, consult the on-line CSU campus map.

Students registered for CS692 will be graded by their attendance. A passing grade requires attendance of at least 70% of the BMAC seminars in one semester. Students attending the seminars that are scheduled outside the regular BMAC slot will receive extra credits. These extra credits will be used to substitute when students have missed the regular BMACs.

Here is a list of past BMAC schedules.
