For three years (2001-2004), the Mormon studies brown bag series provided an on-campus forum where students and faculty from a variety of disciplines could discuss topics related to Mormon history, culture, and experience.

The series came to an end after Spring semester 2004, due to the departure of its co-founders and coordinator.

Although the series appears to be on permanent hiatus, you can browse this site
