Seminar Series

The Project TeamUP seminar series initiative brings current students and new professionals in contact with behavioral health workers in the field to learn more about the work they do.

Each seminar features a guest speaker(s) currently working with vulnerable and/or underserved populations in the San Diego community. The seminar series highlights the impactful work of mental health providers/practitioners in the San Diego area working with vulnerable and underserved populations and serves as a networking opportunity for new professionals.

2025-26 Seminar Series

The Project TeamUP seminars are held from 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. once a month. All seminars are hosted in a hybrid format: within USD's Mother Rosalie Hill Hall (MRH) or Zoom. The location of the presenters will be indicated in the event details.
