Mack Clayton Seminars

The Mack Clayton endowed lecture series is a monthly seminar series where distinguished outside speakers that have been nominated by trainees and faculty are invited to visit CU to present their cutting-edge musculoskeletal science during a one-hour seminar. The visit includes one-on-one meetings with faculty and their labs at the Anschutz, Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder campuses (in person or virtual). Most importantly, a meet-the-professor lunch hour follows the presentation, providing trainees the opportunity to meet established researchers from outside institutions to be able to ask questions about their research and careers, with the goal of creating and expanding their network.
