SEMINAR DAY 2009: May 16

Seminar Day, now in its 72nd year, has been called Caltech's version of "Homecoming" when alumni return to campus with friends and families, hear faculty presentations on current research and innovations, and reconnect with fellow alumni.

The day-long program includes faculty talks on various topics held in locations all over campus. The General Session is one of the highlights of the day, and includes the presentation of the Institute's highest honor, the Distinguished Alumni Awards. The 2009 General Session speaker was Planetary Scientist Steven W. Squyres, principal investigator of the Mars Exploration Rover Mission.
