† Auburn home-game week.

• The Joint Math Colloquium & SASA talk by David Cruz-Uribe, originally scheduled for Friday, Sep. 04, has been cancelled. We hope to reschedule it later this fall or in the spring semester.
• Two open dates remain in the Fall 2026 schedule: Sep. 23 † and Sep. 30.
• Looking further ahead: all 15 Wednesday slots for Spring 2027 are listed on Open slots for Spring 2027.

With each speaker's permission, we now record selected SASA talks and make them publicly available on the Auburn SASA YouTube channel. Our aim is to build a lasting, professional archive of the analysis and probability research presented at Auburn, to increase the visibility of our group, and to give our speakers a wider audience.

Participation is entirely optional. A talk is recorded only after the speaker has agreed and signed the consent form, and any speaker may decline with no effect whatsoever on the invitation.

Step	Who	What happens
1	Local host	Asks the speaker whether they are comfortable having the talk recorded.
2	Local host	Lets Bingyang Hu know if the speaker agrees.
3	Bingyang Hu	Sends the speaker an electronic-signature invitation for the consent form.

• SASA seminar recording consent form -- hosted on Auburn Box, signed electronically.
• The form was prepared in consultation with COSAM Communications & Marketing.
• Speakers do not need to download anything in advance; the signature invitation is sent to them directly once they have agreed.

The channel is being set up this semester, and the link will be posted here as soon as it is live.

• Welcome to speak at our SASA. Please contact the organizing committee Le Chen, Bingyang Hu (Chair), or Yuming Paul Zhang for scheduling.
