SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Light Within the Darkness of Nature: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Using palette knives and an intuitive response to her oil paints and surface\, painter Sheryl Budnik first looks carefully at the land or sea\, noticing her emotional response. She paints what she feels is the heart of a place\, finding \"the light within the darkness of nature”\, or Lumen Naturae. This refers to Paracelsus’ Middle Ages idea that the light in nature allows inspiration and intuition to rise from the subconscious. Budnik evokes a memory of land or water with her abstract paintings in order to connect us with the spirit of the earth and leave us with an awareness that we are all nature.

DESCRIPTION:Returning Gifts of Art exhibiting artist Mary Cody designs colorful jewelry with a subtle message meant to inspire creativity and hope.

Cody sees her work as representing the lessons in our lives – how unforeseen events are often prior to beautiful blessings. Her bead woven jewelry has been in fine art shows from Ann Arbor\, Michigan to Bellevue\, Washington and has been described as miniature works of stained glass.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Color of U-M Sports: Helicopter Photography
DESCRIPTION:As perhaps the world’s only artist-photographer who works primarily from a helicopter\, Dale Fisher captures and transforms his subjects using color\, light and shadows – all while skimming over his subjects at ground speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. In the US Navy\, he began shooting with a camera from the skies as an aerial reconnaissance photographer. In the ‘60s\, Fisher traveled the country in a Ford pickup truck with a camper top darkroom\, towing a rather lengthy trailer with his helicopter. Now working in the digital format\, Fisher currently resides and has his studio on a 200 year old farm in Grass Lake\, Michigan\, and his work can be found in public and private collections across the country.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents The Spirit of Place: Oil Paintings
DESCRIPTION:A full time painter\, Laurie Schirmer Carpenter studied art at the University of Colorado\, Denver but has deep ties to the Midwest. She has developed a special interest in the land and skies of this region\, which are often depicted in her paintings. While her paintings are of particular places or things in nature\, they are paintings first – ideas made visual. Most of them result from sketches\, en plein air paintings and photographs made during a walk or bike ride through the countryside. Using these references\, she creates the paintings in her studio that are often a composite of several places. Her oil paintings can be found in many private and corporate collections.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Women in Science
DESCRIPTION:Colorful comic book graphics in this panel exhibit invite young U-M Museum of Natural History visitors from every background to see themselves working in STEM fields (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics)\, and changing the world.\n\nDeveloped by Ann Marie Macara\, a fifth-year graduate student in the U-M Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\, the exhibit features four women scientists whose work had a major impact in their fields. These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n  \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Julie Rae Powers: A Coal Miner's Daughter Revisited Pop-Up Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:During my childhood coal was king. There was nothing better than having a mining job. Festivals were created to celebrate miner’s service to the industry and to thank their families for helping along the way. Although\, coal jobs have declined in towns of West Virginia where I grew up\, there is still an allegiance to an industry that helped families live larger and better\; a reminiscence of the good ole’ days. This series helps explore the complex\, conflicted experience of coal miners\, their families\, interest in the tradition of vernacular objects\, and to pay homage to the personal family history of coal mining and the work ethic included within it.  –Julie Rae Powers\n\nJulie Rae Powers is a photographic artist\, born in West Virginia\, and grew up in the south. Her practice centers on identity experiences\, personal history\, and gender/sexuality politics. Her work has recently been added to the permanent collection of the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan and published in Rich Community: An Anthology of Appalachian Photographers by Sapling Grove Press. She is currently entering her last year of the MFA program at The Ohio State University.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Apply to Chicago Fall Break Immersion! (Fashion/Publishing/Sales)
DESCRIPTION:The Career Center is kicking off the fall semester of Immersions with a trip to Chicago for Fall Break! This Immersion will be Fashion\, Publishing\, and Sales focused and will spotlight two companies: Guerrero Howe Media and Trunk Club.\n\nDue to the large amount of interest for this event\, applications were accepted and evaluated on a rolling basis and first round invitations have been sent out to those who have submitted an application and were selected. The application period has closed. \n\nGuerrero Howe creates custom media that matters. They publish 6 industry-leading magazines\, craft client-driven print and digital media\, and produce events that connect powerful business leaders. Guerrero Howe’s publications serve as a lens for the world\, aiming to be where executives across the continent look to see the projects and best practices of successful counterparts in their industry. They are committed to integrity\, expertise\, and innovation in all that we do. (http://guerrerohowe.com/careers/)\n\nTrunk Club is a rapidly growing men’s clothing service based in Chicago. They’ve grown their team to more than 1\,000 people in five short years. Traditional retail or e-commerce doesn’t work well for most guys\, and they’ve built a business around the idea that there’s a better way. Trunk club hires stylists\, marketing and advertising professionals\, and sales representatives. (https://www.trunkclub.com/careers)\n\nMonday will be utilized as a travel day and transportation will be provided from the Career Center departing on October 19th at 11AM.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Art of Tyree Guyton: A Thirty-Year Journey
DESCRIPTION:The Heidelberg Project is one of the largest\, best-known\, and longest-running site-specific art installations in the country. Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Social\, Behavioral\, and Experimental Economics (SBEE)
DESCRIPTION:Preferences for Truth-Telling\n\nAbstract:\nPrivate information is at the heart of many economic activities. It is thus crucial to understand how people report their private information in order to predict outcomes and to improve institutions ranging from tax systems to labour contracts. In this paper\, the researchers document the stylized facts of this burgeoning literature\, formalize the suggested reasons for the observed behaviour and conduct new experiments to disentangle between these reasons. \n\nThey start by collating the data from about 50 studies covering decisions of more than 16000 subjects. They find that patterns of reporting behaviour are very stable. There is surprisingly little lying – subjects realize on average only about a third of the earnings they could obtain by lying maximally. Increasing stakes does not change this. In most studies\, some non-maximal numbers are reported more often than their truthful probability\, suggesting that there are subjects who lie but do not lie maximally.\n\nThe researchers then analyse the suggested reasons why subjects do not lie.Departing from the vast majority of previous studies\, they study asymmetric true distributions\, e.g.\, a lottery with 40% chance to win a small prize and a 60% chance to win a large prize. Almost all previous experiments used symmetric distributions (most often uniform). With the new experiments\, the researchers can reject all models currently suggested in the literature. In particular\, none of the models which depart only in one way from a standard neo-classical utility function can explain the data. This includes all versions of social preferences (e.g.\, Fehr & Schmidt QJE 1999)\, convex lying costs (e.g. Kartik et al. JET 2007)\, fixed lying costs (Ellingsen EJ 2004)\, and most versions of a desire to appear honest\, a desire to appear non-greedy or a desire to conform to the endogenous social norm. In ongoing work\, the researchers are testing two-departure models\, e.g.\, a model that combines a desire to appear honest with a direct lying cost\, to zone in on a model that can explain the data.
