Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Austria: Gelatin Silver Prints
2016-10-14 08:00 - 20:00 | Taubman Center - Gifts of Art Gallery — North Lobby, Floor 1.
Howard Bond, who studied with Ansel Adams, made the photographs in this exhibition during multiple trips to Austria with a 4”x 5” film camera, resulting in gelatin silver prints. The time period was 1976-1978, near the beginning of his career as a full time fine art photographer, after having been a Senior Research Associate in the U-M School of Public Health. Bond, whose photographs are in the collections of more than 30 museums in the United States and Europe, has had over 60 one-man and 40 group exhibitions. The recipient of a Michigan Council for the Arts Creative Artist Grant, he has published 2 books and 23 limited edition portfolios of prints.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Avian Vessels: Mixed Media Sculpture
2016-10-14 08:00 - 20:00 | Taubman Center - Gifts of Art Gallery - North Lobby, Floor 1
Cincinnati based sculptor Karen Heyl has been professionally sculpting stone since 1984. She is best known for bas-relief limestone sculptures, but in 2011 she developed an interest in sculpting clay using a similar relief carving technique. Out of this came an artistic exploration and refinement of birds using ceramic vessels as the starting point. Whimsical additions such as tails and beaks give each bird an individual personality. Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Beauty Speaks: Acrylic on Canvas
2016-10-14 08:00 - 17:00 | Cancer Center - Gifts of Art Gallery — Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1

She is inspired by lush colors and nature's beauty, and she masterfully creates inspirational lighting to emanate warmth, peacefulness and positive strength. Following in her grandfather and parents footsteps, McColgan attended the U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design, graduating with a BFA in '81. McColgan's works are represented in galleries throughout Michigan and are included in many private and corporate collections.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Divided Images: Fiber
2016-10-14 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals - Gifts of Art Gallery — University Hospital Main Lobby, Floor 1
Jill Ault is an Ann Arbor studio artist working in fiber, primarily quilts, with a BFA degree in painting from Eastern Michigan University. Her quilts are constructed of multiple copies of an image: a photograph, a graphic design or a painting. She digitally prints variations of the image on fabric and divides the copies into many small squares (no two alike). When she carefully reassembles and sews together the squares, parts of the image seem to move across and down the surface of the quilt. Ault exhibits nationally at fiber and quilt shows, such as Quilt National in Athens, Ohio and Fiberart International in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Piecing It Back Together: Mixed Media
2016-10-14 08:00 - 20:00 | University Hospitals - Gifts of Art Gallery — University Hospital Main Corridor, Floor 2
Candra Boggs is an art teacher and two-dimensional mixed media artist. She has been actively working as a traveling artist and teacher for over twelve years. Her work is constructed from her original two-dimensional drawings, paintings, prints and photography. She cuts the 2-D works into a variety of shapes and then collages them back into quilt-like mosaics. Boggs loves Michigan and has been vacationing and participating in art shows for over ten years in the great state. Up most mornings before 5:00 am, she works in the studio with the birds and the morning light, all before waking three small children.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Works by Belle Kogan: First Female Industrial Designer
2016-10-14 08:00 - 17:00 | Cancer Center - Gifts of Art Gallery — Cancer Center Elevator Alcove, Level 2
This exhibition presents industrially-produced art pottery pieces designed by Belle Kogan (1902–2000), for Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing, Minnesota. Kogan is considered the first prominent female industrial designer in the United States, a founder of the profession, and one of the 20th century's most significant designers. Her design aesthetic was heavily influenced by the geometric and streamlined shapes of Art Deco. Belle Kogan Associates, her New York–based studio, was the first American female-led design firm. Her contracts with Red Wing Potteries produced over 400 different art pottery shapes from the late 1930s to the early 1960s, as well as several dinnerware and kitchenware lines. Belle Kogan and her firm designed products not only in ceramics but also clocks and small appliances, glassware, and pieces in silver, plastics, wrought iron and wood.

Exhibition:The Florence Flood, November 1966
2016-10-14 08:00 - 23:59 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Clark Library, 2nd Floor Hatcher
This exhibit focuses on the destruction of Florence during the flood on November 4, 1966. Among the collections severely impacted by the muddy waters were those in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze. Book conservators from the United States and Western Europe were called in to help with the recovery efforts. The exhibit features a British team, headed by Peter Waters, which created a washing-drying-mending-rebinding system to deal with tens of thousands of books damaged by the disaster.

The two most important outcomes of the tragedy are the professional training of library conservators and the establishment of disaster preparedness and response programs.

Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture, Landscape, and the Postnatural
2016-10-14 09:00 - 18:00 | Art and Architecture Building
Free and open to the public
Ambiguous Territory: Architecture, Landscape, and the Postnatural is a symposium and concurrent exhibition that situates contemporary discourses and practices of architecture and landscape within the context of the Postnatural; the era of climate change, the Anthropocene, and altered ecologies. The symposium asks: In a time when humans have been fundamentally displaced from their presumed place of privilege, philosophically as well as experientially, should the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture consider displacing themselves as well, in order to establish new affiliations and avail new ways to approach contemporary questions of design in relation to the environment?
By bringing designers and scholars from these fields together the symposium and exhibition will highlight projects and ideas that are engaged with these issues from a variety of perspectives, ranging from scale and experience to questions of matter. Participants will present research and work that use tactics of mediation to understand, imagine, interrupt, and invent artifacts that exist at the large spatial and slow temporal scale of the Anthropocene.
Ambiguous Territory will present design ideas and proposals from architects, artists, and landscape architects whose work challenges their disciplinary boundaries and long-held anthropocentric orientation and redefines the relationship between built and natural environments in an era of ecological anxiety.

Kathy Velikov, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR

Exhibition:Foreshadowing - Endangered and Threatened Plant Species
2016-10-14 10:00 - 16:30 | Matthaei Botanical Gardens
A unique exhibit of botanical portraits that illuminates native and invasive plant species in a different light. Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

Workshop / Seminar:Mitsui Finance
2016-10-14 10:30 - 12:00 | Ross School of Business - R1230
Abstract:
We study the effect of relationships with financial intermediaries on firms' investment decisions and access to external finance. In the early twentieth century, securities underwriters commonly held directorships with American corporations; this was especially true for railroads, the largest enterprises of the era. Section 10 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 prohibited investment bankers from serving on the boards of railroads for which they underwrote securities, in order to eliminate the bankers' conflicts of interest. Using the volume of underwriting done by bankers on their boards to capture the extent to which railroads were affected by the regulation, we find that following the implementation of Section 10 in 1921, railroads that had maintained close affiliations with underwriters saw declines in their valuations, investment rates and leverage ratios, and increases in their costs of external funds. We perform falsification tests using data for industrials and utilities, which were not subject ​to the prohibitions of Section 10, and find no differential effect of relationships with underwriters on these firms following 1921. Our results are consistent with underwriters on corporate boards acting as delegated monitors. Our findings also highlight the potential for regulations intended to address conflicts of interest to disrupt valuable information flows.​

Exhibition:Catie Newell: Overnight
2016-10-14 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - Irving Stenn, Jr. Family Gallery
Detroit-based architect Catie Newell’s work is focused on the tactile, sensory qualities of the materials we use to build things: their texture, density, or malleability. Her investigations combine architectural research, material studies, and art experiments, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.

The most important element in her formal vocabulary is light, not only as a “material” in its own right, but also as a condition. Varying in strength, form, and duration, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions, installations, and photographs, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments, with unseen geographies, untold histories, and secret identities.

Newell, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

Exhibition:Manuel Álvarez Bravo: Mexico’s Poet of Light
2016-10-14 11:00 - 17:00 | Museum of Art - Photography Gallery
Manuel Álvarez Bravo spent nearly his entire career photographing his native Mexico. His style drew upon numerous international influences, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans, whose work he knew in New York, and the Surrealism of André Breton, who visited Mexico around 1940.

Although not strictly Surrealist, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition, drawn from UMMA’s collections, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.

**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm, CLOSED Mondays

Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside
2016-10-14 11:00 - 17:00 | Off Campus Location
Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect, immersed in the everyday, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings, material specs, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.

Through speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression, including, for example, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper, with its ability to mask, transform, or animate a space, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.
Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Lecture / Discussion:CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series: From subjects to relations: Bioethics and postcolonial politics in an HIV prevention trial in Cambodia
2016-10-14 12:00 - 13:00 | School of Social Work Building - Room 1636
Over the past decade and a half, an increasing number of clinical trials have been conducted in Cambodia, making the country a source of data about HIV, malaria, and other conditions. Has Cambodia also shaped the practice of clinical trials? If so, how, and to what effect? I take up this question of how contexts shape scientific practices by exploring Cambodia’s first experimental trial, the Cambodia Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis trial. The trial was designed to test the safety and efficacy of tenofovir as a prevention for HIV infection, and was cancelled in 2004. Debates about ethics of the trial invoked international bioethics guidelines, as well as historical relations of vulnerability and responsibility between foreigners and Cambodians, and between Cambodian leaders and Cambodian subjects. These debates shifted the object of concern in classical bioethics, from the experimental human subject to the relation between subjects and researchers. This case illuminates how a postcolonial field of articulation in Cambodia reformulates classical bioethics.

Lecture / Discussion:Yiddish Leyenkrayz
2016-10-14 12:00 - 13:00 | 202 S. Thayer - Room 3000
The Yiddish Leyenkrayz is a weekly reading group open to faculty, students, and the general Yiddish-reading public. We read classics of Yiddish literature, but also rediscover lesser known texts in the original. We often read plays, so as to divide the reading according to roles.

Lecture / Discussion:CCG Technologies Seminar: "Discovery of New Molecular Entities: Opportunities and Challenges"
2016-10-14 13:30 - 14:30 | Life Sciences Institute - Library - Room 3040
Natural products (NPs) are central to the history and landscape of new molecular entities (NMEs) for human medicinal agents. A rigorous assessment of all FDA-approved NMEs reveals that NPs and their derivatives represent over 50% of currently marketed drugs. However, their representation has diminished over the past two decades, in part because of technical hurdles associated with screening of natural products in high-throughput assays against molecular targets, and the reoccurrence of previously reported metabolites in follow-up processes. Here, I present innovative, state-of-the-art strategies for discovery of NMEs and describe the recent technical advances that have significantly reduced the barriers to discovery of NMEs. I will also assess the use of new genomic-based approaches to augment traditional strategies for studying NPs using a case study from my research in antimicrobial drug discovery.

Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Michigan Wonderland Gems & Jewels
2016-10-14 14:00 - 15:00 | University Hospitals - Gifts of Art Gallery — Main Corridor, Floor 2
Betsy Lehndorff’s jewelry is influenced by her life in Hubbard Lake in northeastern Michigan. Using her stone cutting and silversmithing skills, she takes on six subjects that impact her isolated world: water, winter, plants, critters, rocks and the heavens. Her work, often representational and sometimes narrative, challenges the idea of jewelry as a status symbol. Lehndorff was born and raised in Ann Arbor, and lived in Colorado until 2012. She is a granddaughter of renowned architect Albert Kahn (Hill Auditorium and the “Old Main” U-M Hospital) and daughter of Dr. Edgar A. Kahn, who headed the neurosurgery department at the U-M Hospital in the 1960s.

Fang Yuan will speak on "The Copy-theoretic approach to Pivotal Constructions in Mandarin Chinese."

Abstract
This study investigates the argument sharing problem in pivotal constructions in
Mandarin Chinese (hereafter called PCs). As shown in (1), the sentence permits more than one verb in a mono-clause without any markers of subordination or coordination. The pivot noun phrase NP 2 ta ‘he’ is regarded as both the theme of V 1 rang ‘let’ and the agent of VP 2 zuo baogao ‘make a report’. This phenomenon violates the bi-uniqueness requirement from the theta criterion, causing the argument sharing problem.
(1) NP 1 V 1 NP 2 VP 2
a. Lingdao rang ta zuo baogao.
Leader let he make report ‘The leader asked him to make a report.’ To solve this problem in English control constructions, the empty category, PRO, is proposed in GB. However, the formulation of PRO has theoretical limitations, and it faces more challenges in analyzing Chinese in which the finiteness and non-finiteness distinction remains disputable. Although the Movement Theory of Control eliminates some limitations of the control theory, it does not solve the argument sharing problem because the theta criterion is disregarded. This paper aims at providing a derivational account of the argument sharing problem in PCs.

2016-10-14 15:00 - 16:00 | East Hall - 1084
Particulate flows are ubiquitous in environmental, geophysical and engineering processes. The intricate dynamics of these two-phase flows is governed by momentum transfer between the continuous fluid phase and the dispersed particulate phase. When significant temperature differences exist between the fluid and particles and/or chemical reactions take place at the fluid/particle interfaces, the phases also exchange heat and/or mass, respectively. While some multi-phase processes may be successfully modeled at the continuum scale through closure approximations, an increasing number of applications require resolution across scales, e.g. dense suspensions, fluidized beds. Within a multi-scale micro/meso/macro-framework, we develop robust numerical models at the micro and meso scales, based on a Distributed Lagrange Multiplier/Fictitious Domain method and a two-way Euler/Lagrange method, respectively. Collisions between finite size particles are modeled with a Discrete Element Method. Many real-life processes and/or flows involve non-spherical particles. Although there is still a lot to learn about flows laden with spherical particles, there is also a strong incentive to develop new modeling tools to account for non-spherical, angular, convex or even non-convex particles. We discuss assorted issues related to the numerical modeling of flows laden with particles of arbitrary shape. Along the way, we also address high performance computing issues related to our massively parallel numerical tools and challenges to efficiently transfer knowledge from small scales to large scales. We illustrate the modeling capabilities of our tools on the two following problems relevant of applications from the chemical engineering and process industry: (i) a rotating drum filled with non-convex particles and (ii) fixed and fluidized beds of multilobic (and hence non-convex) particles.

In Information Geometry one studies the geometric properties of a manifold equipped with a Riemannian metric g and an affine connection D which are related by an equation.
The pair (g, D) arises from a divergence on a manifold. Thus Information Geometry has some applications to statistics. A more general divergence induces a Finsler metric and a spray satisfying an
equation.

In my talk, I will give an introduction the basic theory of information structures on a manifold. Speaker(s): Zhongmin Shen (IUPUI)

2016-10-14 15:00 - 16:00 | West Hall - 335
We present a new mechanism to stabilize the electroweak hierarchy. We introduce N copies of the Standard Model with varying values of the Higgs mass parameter. This generically yields a sector whose weak scale is parametrically removed from the cutoff by a factor of 1/√{N}. Ensuring that reheating deposits a majority of the total energy density into this lightest sector requires a modification of the standard cosmological history, providing a powerful probe of the mechanism. Current and near-future experiments will explore much of the natural parameter space. Furthermore, supersymmetric completions which preserve grand unification predict superpartners with mass below mW × Mpl / MGUT 〜 10 TeV.

Lecture / Discussion:LACS Lecture. Fighting With the Heart of a Woman: The Voices of Women of Chiapas, Mexico
2016-10-14 15:00 - 16:30 | School of Social Work Building - Room 2609
“Fighting With the Heart of a Woman: The situation and participation of women in Chiapas” (1995-2015) is a book that systematizes over 70 interviews of women activists in various groups, collectives, cooperatives, social movements, and civil associations or universities.

Gabriela Rodriguez will discuss the testimonies these women shared as participants in collective/cooperative work, the Zapatista movement, and other spaces of struggle for gender equality and social justice. She will also talk about the current socio-political context in Mexico.

Gabriela Torres Rodríguez is fronteriza, from a very small town in deep South Texas at the U.S.A.-México border. She is the daughter of two hard working parents that migrated to the United States from México in the late 1980s, who now own and operate a small bakery in the borderlands, specializing in the art of making Mexican sweet bread.

Gaby is currently living and working as a human rights observer and defender in Chiapas, México. She began her training with the Center for Human Rights Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas, serving as a volunteer for a year. She is currently working with the International Service for Peace (SIPAZ), since April 2015.

Marjorie Herbert will speak on "Mouthing, Fingerspelling, or Both?: Codeswitching and Lexical Borrowing in American Sign Language (ASL)"

Abstract
According to Poplack (1980), the most common outcomes of language contact found among the bilingual communities of the world are code-switching, code-mixing, and lexical borrowing, and the contact situation involving American Sign Language (ASL) and spoken English; however, it is complicated by the fact that the two languages in question are transmitted in different modalities. Thus, the question of the representation of spoken English, transmitted via the oral-aural modality, in the visuo-spatial modality of ASL, and vice versa, poses a problem for their linguistic analysis. The focus of this abstract is one of these outcomes, ‘fingerspelling’, in which signers represent English words by spelling them via the manual alphabet, in the congenitally d/Deaf community, and its implications for theories of lexical borrowing.

Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Investigating Landscape Evolution and Geochemical Processes in Antarctica (and beyond) Using Remote Orbital Spectroscopy
2016-10-14 15:30 - 16:30 | 1100 North University Building
Satellite data are a valuable resource for investigating geologic and environmental processes, particularly in remote areas where traditional field work is difficult or impossible. In Antarctica, ice-free geologic exposures are particularly difficult to access and study despite their importance for understanding polar processes, climate variability, and Antarctic geologic history. Satellite observations of the Antarctic, however, require revised calibration and atmospheric removal techniques in order to compare these orbital data to data measured in the field or laboratories. Since these methodologies were developed, they have helped to revolutionize our understanding of the Antarctic. Properties and processes ranging from magma differentiation to the distribution of algal communities can be investigated remotely in the Antarctic. One such process, the chemical alteration of rock surfaces under cold and dry environmental conditions, can be directly related to processes occurring on the surface of Mars. Our ongoing Mars research incorporates data collected by the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Curiosity rover to determine the similarities between weathering process on Earth and on Mars.

How does a network of interacting proteins work to accomplish a complex cellular function with extreme temporal and spatial precision? The accumulation of a large body of knowledge over the last 50 years has paved the way to understanding the biology of the cell in amazing detail. While many molecules have been discovered, their effects mapped by genetics and mutational analysis, and in some cases their three dimensional structures solved with x-ray crystallography and EM, we still do not fully understand the physical basis of many cellular events. I believe that by watching the functional behavior of these large meso-scale complexes in living cells—the native states of the enzymes—we will more clearly understand their complexity, regulation, and mechanisms.

Film Screening:CSAS Film Screening of "For the Love of a Man"
2016-10-14 16:00 - 18:00 | School of Social Work Building - Room 1636
For the Love of a Man is a documentary on the fan following around South Indian superstar Rajinikanth. The star, now in his mid-60s, has become synonymous with larger than life characterizations in big budget films shot all over the world with elaborate music, costumes, and action sequences. The documentary explores how the star and every detail of his life become integral to the identities of the fans themselves as well as those around them. The visual ethic of fandom and star mimicry reveal a form of star worship that is unique to Indian cinema culture. The lives of fans and their families open us to themes of brotherhood, aspiration, political affiliation, or even just means of being noticed. From bankruptcies to reformations from lives of crime, the lives of the fans offer stories that range from the heroic to the horrific, all in a day's work of turning a film star into a deity.

"For the Love of a Man" an independent, self-funded documentary, and the first Tamil-language film to screen at the Venice Film Festival, where it was nominated for the "Venice Classics Award for Best Documentary on Cinema" in the 2015.

Film Screening:Short Films: Compensation/Her Giveaway/Talk to Me
2016-10-14 16:00 - 18:00 | Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery (Room 100)
"Compensation": Tthe first feature by award-winning filmmaker Zeinabu irene Davis (Cycles and A Powerful Thang), presents two unique African-American love stories between a deaf woman and a hearing man. Inspired by a poem written by Paul Laurence Dunbar, this moving narrative shares their struggle to overcome racism, disability and discrimination. An important film on African-American deaf culture, Davis innovatively incorporates silent film techniques (such as title cards and vintage photos) to make the piece accessible to hearing and deaf viewers alike, and to share the vast possibilities of language and communication.
"Her Giveaway": Carole Lafavor, member of the Ojibwe tribe, activist, mother and registered nurse, is a person with AIDS. In this candid and moving portrait, Lafavor relates how she has come to terms with AIDS by combining her traditional beliefs and healing practices with Western medicine. Her "giveaway" to the larger AIDS community is more than just basic information, it is an inspiring example of how we can all learn from the Native American philosophy of illness.

"Talk to Me" is a documentary that takes viewers into the lives of children with autism at home and at school, and profiles the efforts of their parents and teachers to help them achieve their potential. The families we meet are of different racial and socio-economic backgrounds struggling to obtain appropriate services for their children. … Whatever their incomes, these families struggle to obtain appropriate services for their children, and the film shows realistically that such resources are not always distributed fairly. Emma's parents have enrolled her in an at-home program, while Adre's single mother, who could certainly use such a program, isn't even aware that they exist.

The talk will begin with a brief introduction to active soft matter, matter composed of active agents which consume energy to generate motion. Examples of active matter include schools of fish, flocks of birds, collections of bio-polymers such as microtubules and actin, and swimming bacteria - the focus of the remainder of the talk. A kinetic theory describing the time-dependent distribution of bacterial swimmers is presented. The model includes hydrodynamic interactions among swimmers mediated through the surrounding low-reynolds-number flow. Through this model, we ask "how does confinement of active matter affect its dynamics?" We consider the dynamics of concentrated regions of active matter and active matter confined to a droplet.

Come alone, or with a team of up to four. Registration begins on Friday at 5:00 PM. We will also offer free pizza for all participants on Saturday at 6:00 PM.What is a Game Jam?A Game Jam (akin to a musical jam session) is a condensed length of time for developers to get together and create a video game. Game Jams provide a fun, collaborative environment with many teams participating, as well as a way for developers to test their own skills and see what they can accomplish in a short amount of time. At the end of the Jam, teams play each others' creations and vote on their favorite games.There are prizes for the best teams, but the real experience of a Game Jam is the knowledge gained during your development. The difference is immense between someone who has never completed a game, and someone who has completed even a small one. Much of the development cycle happens AFTER the game is finished (polishing, deployment, marketing, etc.) and much of the knowledge of game development comes from working on a project with a team, and seeing it to completion.If any of this sounds interesting, please come join us this weekend! We will be hosting tutorials in the first few hours of the Jam, so no prior experience is necessary. Whether you are a programmer, artist, musician, designer, or just someone who wants to learn how to make games, we look forward to seeing you there!

Formed in East Lansing, the band gained a following for its textured rock songs distinguished by inventive arrangements, soul-searching lyrics and layered vocals. Lead singer Brian Vander Ark has gone onto a solo career and become an Ark favorite with his songs of family, love, and loss. But after being approached to submit a song for a compilation album called "Calling All Kids," the Verve Pipe reunited to record their award-nominated kids' CD, "A Family Album." Now the creative spark touched off by those sessions has led to more Verve Pipe music for adults as well. The Verve Pipe has had a reputation for dazzling live shows from the start, and now they're back, up close and personal, at The Ark!
