The FYI Spring 2011 Seminar  met every Wednesday from 3:30 - 5pm.

It was a two-credit course, and signing up for the FYI Spring Seminar allowed students to pre-register for all their Spring classes before the general student population. The course was taught by a rotating cast of Queens College's best and brightest professors, who showcased the great ideas and unique ways of understanding the world that their academic discipline and research is known for.
