This page lists every Wednesday of the Spring 2027 semester as a bookable SASA slot. It is a planning page for the organizing committee; confirmed talks are moved to the main SASA seminar page as they are scheduled.

There are 15 available Wednesdays. Spring Break removes Mar. 10, and Martin Luther King Day falls on a Monday, so it costs no seminar slot.

‡ Jan. 06 is the first day of classes; it is listed for completeness but is usually not a good slot for an invited talk.
Mar. 10 is inside Spring Break (Mar. 08 -- 12) and is therefore not available.
- Unlike the fall, there are no Auburn home-game weeks to work around in the spring.
- The regular SASA slot is Wednesday afternoon in STEM Ag 2111; joint colloquium talks have used other days and rooms.
- To claim a slot, contact the organizing committee: Le Chen, Bingyang Hu (Chair), or Yuming Paul Zhang.
