SUMMARY:Exhibition:Northern Michigan Landscapes Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Pierpont Commons Wall Gallery located just outside of the Commons Cafe to see this beautiful exhibit!\n\nArtist: Rachael Van Dyke\n\nArtist Statement - Northern Michigan Landscapes\n\nGrowing up in a large Italian family where emotions and energy were high\, everything had to be done fast. I showered fast\, ate fast\, talked fast\, walked fast and made things fast. Early on I learned to create quickly\, having to finish my projects in a matter of hours. I learned to work collaboratively and to not become too attached to my work. This childhood dynamic created a need in me to be aggressive in my work\, often cutting through the paint surfaces and restating my lines. Whether I am exploring portraits or landscapes I want my materials to be bold and work fast with me. Exposing that energetic style through a variety of mark making and under-drawing is important to me as it reflects my own zeal for life.\n\nI find myself most comfortable when away from the tradition of easel and canvas. I am often on my hands and knees actively engaged with the drawing\, my feet thick in charcoal and oil bar. Outdoors\, I tape charcoal onto the tip of a 3-foot stick to use as my drawing tool. Using these techniques allow for a more natural\, spontaneous\, and spirited drawing. I am eager to search for shapes of color and light that fall on the planes of the face and the ridge and valleys of land. These organic movements are revealed in my landscape paintings\, through juxtaposing patterns and colors of the farmlands and vineyards of Upstate New York and Northern Michigan.\n\nThe exhibit will be displayed through Thursday\, May 16th.\n\nAll pieces in the exhibit are for sale. Please contact the Center for Campus Involvement if you are interested in purchasing art from this exhibit.\n\nPlease note: The Center for Campus Involvement (CCI) provides opportunities for student and professional artists to display work suitable for a general audience. CCI hosting an artist’s work does not mean we endorse the artist’s point of view\; we recognize the free speech rights of our exhibitors.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ta-You Wu Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David Wineland (National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and 2012 Nobel Laureate in Physics)\n\nIn 1935\, Erwin Schrödinger\, one of the inventors of quantum mechanics\, illustrated his discomfort with the theory by pointing out that its extension to the macroscopic world could lead to bizarre situations such as a cat being simultaneously alive and dead\, a so-called superposition state. Today\, we can create similar situations on a small scale\, such as putting an atom in a “bowl” and placing it on the left and right sides of the bowl simultaneously.\n\nSuperpositions are potentially useful for information processing.  For example\, two energy levels in an atom\, labeled \"0\" and \"1\,\" can be used to store information like the bits in our laptops.  However\, as in the atom/bowl experiment\, we can arrange the quantum bit to be in a superposition\, thereby storing both states of the bit simultaneously.  This property leads to a memory and processing capacity that increases exponentially with the number of bits. This and a related property called “entanglement” would enable a quantum computer to efficiently solve certain problems that are intractable on normal computers.\n\nResearch on precise control of quantum systems occurs in many labs throughout the world\, for fundamental research\, new measurement techniques\, and more recently for quantum information processing. I will briefly describe experiments on quantum state manipulation and atomic clocks that employ trapped atomic ions. This talk is\, in part\, the “story” of my involvement in these topics that I presented at the 2012 Nobel Prize ceremonies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Pesha's Journey: From Rabbi's Daughter to Radical Feminist
DESCRIPTION:“Pesha's Journey” tells the story\, in pictures and words\, of Pesha–a Jewish woman born into an orthodox Palestine family who struggled to live a life unfettered by the oppressive bonds of her cultural moment. The photos\, taken between 1911 and 1940\, trace her early life to her education in Germany and\, eventually\, her marriage and move to New York with husband Benno\, the photographer who took many of these pictures. These images and Pesha’s story were discovered after Benno’s death by his son\, Eric Bermann\, who co-curated this exhibit.

SUMMARY:Performance:Joshua James
DESCRIPTION:Joshua James\, originally from Lincoln\, Nebraska\, has been called a singer-skater-songwriter. Now based in Utah\, he's been gaining notice all over with a whispering voice that seems to get inside your mind and songs that take on big themes of family and spirituality. Joshua's new album\, \"From the Top of Willamette Mountain\,\" was written and recorded in Oregon\, with songs reflecting the values of self-sufficiency and living off the land. \"The world doesn’t need another love song\, so I try to sing about more serious topics. I think that’s why people have responded\, because of the honesty\,\" Joshua says. Joshua James never envisioned music as a career\, and that may be precisely why his is blossoming. Instinctive songcraft\, the idiosyncratic beauty of his vulnerable vocals and the unflinching human quest of his lyrics ensure Joshua James a place among the most compelling of singer-songwriters for years to come.
