Yahoo! Sponsored Campus Seminar Series

One of the many ways Yahoo! Academic Relations (AR) interacts with top universities across the U.S. to sponsor seminar series in academic areas of high interest to Yahoo! scientists, engineers, and business people. Talks in these series are given by world-class faculty members, PhD students, and industry experts.

With an eye towards maximizing the value of these series, AR is piloting a program under which we have arranged to capture the seminar talks we sponsor in several of the premier CS programs in the country (Carnegie Mellon University, MIT, and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) as well as in the Kellogg Business School at Northwestern University and archive the talks on this site so they may be accessed at any time. Future plans call for expansion of the pilot program to include all seminars at all the institutions with which AR maintains strategic relationships.

The Campus Seminar Series videos are available here.
