SeminarsCPC seminars are a long-held tradition, introduced by Moye Freymann in 1966. The seminars were established as a forum for faculty, students, and staff to be exposed to population research conducted by scholars in various disciplines.Seminars were always held weekly throughout the academic year. Over the years, the seminars series has had different names including the Lecture-Discussion Series, the Research Problems Seminars series, the Interdisciplinary Population Research Seminar Series and, in 2006, the Friday Seminars. Many special seminars have been held as well, in an effort to highlight a visitor's research or to provide an opportunity for CPC faculty, trainees, and staff to practice a presentation to be given at an upcoming conference. CPC's Distinguished Lecture series began in 1985, with a presentation by Kingsley Davis of Stanford University.

They continued to provide an opportunity for attendees to become more knowledgeable about population research in various disciplines. They were also a mechanism for exchanging information about ongoing research, an opportunity for new forms of analysis or research techniques to be presented and discussed, and a means to facilitate the interest in and development of cross-disciplinary research projects. Below is a list of the Distinguished Lectures held between 1985 and 2006, followed by a list of the 700 seminars held at CPC between 1966 and 2006.
