SUMMARY:Exhibition:ARCHIGRAM EXHIBITION OPENING
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition on View January 14 - February 19\nThis exhibition opening reception begins after Dennis Crompton's lecture in STAMPS Auditorium in the Walgreen Drama Center.\nThis exhibition celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of Archigram\, the British architects whose dynamic and provocative vision of future life brought the pop spirit to the architecture avant garde in 1960s Britain.\nVibrant\, playful\, optimistic\, and iconoclastic\, the visionary architectural projects presented by Archigram in exhibitions\, collages\, drawings and film\, played an important role in 1960s pop culture and have an enduring influence on architecture today. Archigram was founded in London in 1961 around a nucleus of young architects: Warren Chalk\, Peter Cook\, Dennis Crompton\, David Greene\, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. Inspired by pop culture\, advances in technology and the belief that architects had a responsibility to develop new ways of responding to social change\, the group rebelled against the conservative architectural establishment by launching a magazine – entitled Archigram – to express its ideas. \nOrganized by Dennis Crompton for Archigram. Supported by the Johe Fund. \nJoin us also for an opening lecture delivered by Dennis Crompton\, January 13 at 6:00pm in the Walgreen Drama Center's STAMPS Auditorium\, followed by an opening reception for the exhibition at the Liberty Research Annex.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Ann Arbor Street Paintings: Oil on Panel
DESCRIPTION:Carlye Crisler\, a well known Ann Arbor artist of en plein air (outdoor) painting\, is originally from the Bucktown district of Chicago. Her goal is to paint an environment or neighborhood by showing activities\, people and lighting at a particular time of day\, capturing an extended sense of place. In this collection of en plein air oil paintings\, Crisler has taken on complicated places with many textures and divisions of space. She embraces ambiguity with shapes of buildings broken by shadow and parts of them hidden by other things barely determined. In addition to a painter of urban landscapes\, Crisler also is a costumer\, figurative portrait painter and metal sculptor.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Leaders and the Rest: Boundaries and Belonging at the University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs at the University of Michigan? Who gets to draw its boundaries? Michigan students have asked and answered these questions for nearly two hundred years. Against a backdrop of local\, national\, and global change\, they have negotiated their place and redefined their responsibilities. At times\, students have debated among each other\, sparred with faculty and administrators\, negotiated with community members\, and contended with politicians. In so doing\, they have shaped the physical campus\, the student body\, the meaning of community\, and the university’s mission as a public institution.\n\nThis exhibit showcases key moments of student expression\, politics\, and culture from the first decades of the university’s existence in Ann Arbor\, through the upheavals of world wars\, and to the social and cultural turmoil of the late-twentieth century.\n\nOn display January 4-February 25\, 2017\, Hatcher Library Gallery (Room 100).\n\nThis LSA Bicentennial Theme Semester initiative is presented with support from the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts and the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office. Additional support provided by the Department of History and the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Symposium: Ambiguous Territory: Architecture\, Landscape\, and the Postnatural
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nAmbiguous 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?\nBy 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.\nAmbiguous 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.\nChairs:       \nKathy Velikov\, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and principal of RVTR\nCathryn Dwyre\, Visiting Associate Professor at Pratt institute School of Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nChris Perry\, Associate Professor at Rensselaer Architecture and partner at pneumastudio\nDavid Salomon\, Assistant Professor of Art History at Ithaca College.\nKeynotes:\nLiam Young\, urbanist\, designer and futurist\; founder of the futures think tank Tomorrows Thoughts Today (tomorrowsthoughtstoday.com)\; the ‘Unknown Fields Division’ (unknownfieldsdivision.com) at the Architectural Association in London\, and the ‘Fiction and Entertainment’ program at SciArc\nDavid Gissen\, author\, historian\, and Professor of Architecture and Visual and Critical Studies at the California College of the Arts and co-director of the Experimental History Project (http://davidgissen.org/)\nFor a full list of speakers and bios\, please visit the Ambiguous Territory symposium web page. \nAmbiguous Territory Symposium Schedule\nAll events in Taubman College Commons unless otherwise noted\nThursday October 5th\n5:00pm\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition Reception\n(Taubman College Gallery)\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: Liam Young\n(Art + Architecture Auditorium)\n \nFriday October 6th (all events occuring in The Commons)\n9:00am\nCoffee\n9:30am\nWelcome: Dean Jonathan Massey\nIntroductory Remarks: Associate Dean of Research and Creative Practice Geoffrey Thün\nSymposium Introduction: Kathy Velikov\n10:00am\nAtmospheric Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Kathy Velikov\nSpeaker 1: Christopher Hight\nSpeaker 2: Lydia Kallipoliti\nSpeaker 3: Sean Lally\nRespondent: Meredith Miller\nRoundtable Discussion\n12:00pm\nLunch Break (lunch not provided)\n1:00pm\nBiologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: David Salomon\nSpeaker 1: Jennifer Peeples\nSpeaker 2: Linsdey french\nSpeaker 3: Ricardo de Ostos\nRespondent: Ellie Abrons\nRoundtable Discussion\n3:00pm\nCoffee Break\n3:30pm\nGeologic Mediations Panel\nIntroduction: Cathryn Dwyre and Chris Perry\nSpeaker 1: Alessandra Ponte\nSpeaker 2: Bradley Cantrell\nSpeaker 3: Rania Ghosn and El Hadi Jazairy\nRespondent: Mark Lindquist\nRoundtable Discussion\n5:30pm\nBreak\n6:00pm\nKeynote Lecture: David Gissen\nAmbiguous Territory Exhibition \nSeptember 27th – October 18th 2017\nUniversity of Michigan Taubman College Gallery\nDecember 2018 – January 2019\nPratt Manhattan Gallery\, New York

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:SAFETY OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES:  TECHNOLOGY AND POLICY
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Edwin Olson is Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at U-M and Co-Director for Autonomous Driving Development at Toyota Research Institute.  He received his Ph.D. from MIT in 2008 for work in robotic mapping. At U-M\, he directs the APRIL Robotics Laboratory. At U-M’s Transportation Research Institute (TRI)\, he helps lead the creation of next-generation autonomous cars and safety systems.         \n\nWhile 35\,000 people died last year in the United States as a result of 
automobile accidents\, it is not the case that humans are bad drivers. Humans are 
astonishingly good drivers\, and we set a high bar for an autonomous alternative. In this talk\, Dr. Olson describes some of the challenges—why is driving so difficult for computers? How do we successfully marry autonomous technology to its human users? How do we know when an autonomous car is safe enough? \n\nThis is the fourth of a six-lecture series. The subject is The Future of Transportation: Don’t Turn in Your Car Keys Yet!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art
DESCRIPTION:Kabuki actors were superstars in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Japan. They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. Additional generous support is provided by the Japan Foundation and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Moving Image: Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Moving Image: Landscape explores traditional notions of landscape through four very different time-based works by artists Jim Campbell\, Antti Laitinen\, Joanie Lemercier\, and Rick Silva.\n\nCampbell’s recent body of work\, including Seal Rock\, presents pixilated images of landscapes created with grids of LEDs. The low-resolution LEDs create a tension between representation and abstraction\, provoking viewers to interpret visual information on their own. In the three-channel video It’s My Island Laitinen builds his own island in the Baltic Sea by dragging two hundred sand bags into the water over a period of three months. The work explores ideas of nationality\, citizenship\, and identity as the artist creates his own single-citizen micro-nation. Lemercier’s computer-generated print Landforms uses patterns of black dots and projected light to create the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement when seen from a distance. The effects are more realistic than a still image\, but still unsettlingly artificial. Silva’s Render Garden explores the digitized landscape\, including remix and glitch aesthetics\, through software that endlessly generates new plant combinations.\n\nThroughout the next year UMMA will present a series of exhibitions drawn from the Borusan Contemporary Art Collection in Istanbul. The Borusan’s thirty-year-old collection includes significant works across a variety of genres\, and since 2011 it has focused on media arts. The works exhibited here address formal concerns such as abstraction and color\, and conceptual topics such as identity or ecological issues\; many represent traditional categories such as portraiture and landscape that find new resonance when explored through the strategies of dynamic technology.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\,\nthe Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection
DESCRIPTION:Protecting Wisdom: Tibetan Book Covers from the MacLean Collection is the first major exhibition to examine the subject of Tibetan book covers. For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Aesthetic Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pictorialism was the first truly international photography movement\, and its practitioners\, among them Alfred Stieglitz\, Edward Steichen and Gertrude Käsebier\, sought to position photography as a legitimate aesthetic art form. They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: James Crowe\, M.D.\, Vanderbilt University Medical School
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe human adaptive immune system is perhaps the most resilient emergent network of any of the complex self-organizing systems described to date. Despite the impressive capacity of microbial threats to cause infections or even pandemics\, with ever increasing numbers of pathogens\, the diversity of possible molecular recognition elements in the human immune system to recognize and defeat microbes exceeds that of the diversity of the pathogens. In this talk\, we will explore the enormous genetic and structural diversity of the antibody repertoire in man. We will explore various ways in which human antibodies recognize viral pathogens and inhibit virus replication and disease. Careful study of the structure and function of particular antibodies reveals general principles underlying intermolecular interactions that likely operate in most complex biomolecular systems.\n\nSpeaker:\nDr. Crowe is Professor of Pediatrics (Infectious Diseases)\, Pathology\, Microbiology and Immunology\, Ann Scott Carell Chair\, and Director of the Vanderbilt Vaccine Center. His laboratory studies the molecular\, genetic\, and structural basis of human immune responses to virus infection or vaccination. He has studied antibody-mediated immunity to a wide variety of viral pediatric pathogens\, including RSV\, MPV\, influenza\, rotavirus and norovirus\, and also agents of bioterror and emerging infectious diseases\, including chikungunya virus\, dengue viruses\, Ebola and Marburg viruses\, Zika virus and others. His group is working to develop new methods in computational immunology for rational design of vaccines and antibodies. He is the Director of the Human Immunome Project\, an ambitious effort to identify the sequence of all transcripts for adaptive immune receptors on the planet. He is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine and has been the recipient of a number of major investigator awards for research\, including the Samuel Rosenthal Foundation Prize in Academic Pediatrics\, the E. Mead Johnson Award for Excellence in Pediatrics\, the Norman J. Siegel Award of the American Pediatric Society\, the Judson Daland Prize of the American Philosophical Society\, the Oswald Avery Award of the IDSA\, the Outstanding Investigator Award of the American Federation for Medical Research and others. He is an elected Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, the American Society for Clinical Investigation\, the Association of American Physicians\, the Infectious Diseases Society of America\, the American Pediatric Society\, and others.\n\nLunch provided.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Kamikaze Truckers: The Desperation and Excitement of Professional Drivers ahead of the Tokyo Olympics
DESCRIPTION:In many Japanese urban neighborhoods\, the road has been a space shared by cars\, bicycles\, pedestrians\, and kids at play. Traffic accidents and fatalities increased dramatically through the 1960s\, the start of the era of mass automobility in Japan\, when personal automobiles became affordable for the first time for the middle class. In this paper\, I suggest that it was not just the increase in motor vehicles that was to blame for the increase in traffic fatalities. In looking at the era of high-speed growth\, it is worth considering the particular threat that professional drivers posed to the shared space of the road. This paper uses the analytic of games and play to examine how “reckless” driving was incentivized ahead of the Tokyo Olympics\, and how it came to be critiqued. \n    \nJoshua Hotaka Roth is Professor of Anthropology at Mount Holyoke College. His publications include Brokered Homeland: Japanese Brazilian Migrants in Japan (Cornell Univ. Press)\, “Mean Spirited Sport: Japanese Brazilian Croquet in São Paulo’s Public Spaces” (Anthropological Quarterly)\, and “Heartfelt Driving: Discourses on Manners\, Safety\, and Emotion\,” (Journal of Asian Studies).

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Commutative Algebra
DESCRIPTION:These two talks will be suggestive of what my thesis defense will be like\, \nwhenever that is. Similar to Eloisa's talk\, the first talk will give a selective review of the (linear) containment problem for symbolic powers of ideals in equicharacteristic rings\, with a view towards Harbourne's conjecture in the geometric setting and two published results in the non-regular setting. I'll then summarize key results of my thesis in user-friendly forms\, along with a recent improvement for tensor products of finitely-generated domains over algebraically closed fields\, based on talking with Mel and Karen in the fall. The second talk will sketch select ideas going into this general \"multinomial\" containment result\, along with suggesting initial applications for \"tensor power\" domains. \n\nI expect to give at least one \"comical\" example of using these results in tandem\, possibly involving the perfect number 28.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analysis/Probability Learning Seminar
DESCRIPTION:We will continue our discussion on Marcus-Spielman-Srivastava's interlacing polynomial method. This time we will focus on their result on existence of an infinite family of Ramanujan graphs of any degree. A Ramanujan graph is a d-regular graph with its adjacency matrix has all non-trivial eigenvalues lie in between -2\sqrt{d-1} and 2\sqrt{d-1}. Their main result is the following: For any Ramanujan graph G\, there exists a 2-lift of G which is also a Ramanujan graph. In particular\, since the properties of bipartite and (c\,d)-biregular of a graph automatically pass to its 2-lifts\, the result also extends to infinite family of bipartite Ramanujan graphs of degree d and (c\,d)-regular bipartite Ramanujan graphs. \n\nSimilar to their proof of Kadison-Singer problem we dicussed in last semester\, their proof is the following:\n1. The expected characteristic polynomial of the signing adjacency matrix correspond to a random 2-lift of G has its eigenvalue nicely bounded. \n2. Using interlacing polynomial method\, there exists one 2-lift of G such that roots of its characteristic polynomial of the signing adjacency matrix has the same bound for the expected characteristic polynomial. \n Speaker(s): Han Huang (University of Michigan)

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:An Up-Close Look at Arab and Muslim Americans
DESCRIPTION:American Muslims and Arab Americans are often projected negatively in mainstream media. Newspapers use key words such as extremists\, terrorists and fanatics to describe Arabs. \n\nThe present day Arab stereotype parallels the image of Jews in pre-Nazi Germany\, where Jews were painted as dark\, shifty-eyed\, venal and threateningly different people. These representations of Arab and Muslim Americans have creat¬ed a general mistrust and dislike among Americans. \n\nWho are Muslim and Arab-Americans? Why are they portrayed negatively? Who benefits from these phenomena? This class will help answer these and many other questions.\n\nInstructor Adnan Salhi will lead this study group for those 50 and over for 90 minutes on the last Thursday of January\, February\, April and May.

Using model marine particles composed of a variety of biopolymers commonly found in the ocean\, I will show how microbial interactions such as cross-feeding and social cheating control community dynamics\, leading to rapid successions on particles\, while decreasing the metabolic rate of the system by slowing down or even blocking the particle degradation process. Particle degradation slow-down occurs because of competition for space between primary degraders and cheaters or cross-feeders\, which act as parasites. The results indicate that the rates of carbon cycling in the environment can be under direct control of community ecology processes that unfold at micro-scales. Finally\, I will also discuss how communities that self-assemble on particles made of different substrates converge to a set of species that display ‘universal’ dynamics\, which are independent of the substrate and instead driven by the ecological wiring of the community.\n\nLight refreshments served at 4 p.m.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Distinguished Professorship Lecture| Organic Light Emitting Devices (OLEDs): The Coming Revolution in Displays and Lighting
DESCRIPTION:\"Flexible\, lightweight and economical with energy: organic light emitting diodes are making it out of the lab and into the marketplace\, and Professor Stephen Forrest has been a major driver of that progress.\n\nAlready showing up in smartphones and high-end monitors and televisions\, OLEDs are poised to replace liquid crystal displays and improve the efficiency of lighting. But there are still problems to be solved before these applications are practical.\n\nProfessor Forrest will speak on this topic during his Distinguished University Professor lecture\, set for 4 p.m. Thursday in the Rackham Graduate School Amphitheatre\, with a reception following from 5-6 p.m. in the Assembly Hall. Distinguished University Professorships are the highest professorial title granted at U-M.\"  \n\nThis excerpt regarding Professor Forrest's upcoming lecture are from an article written by Kate McAlpine.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology
DESCRIPTION:There has been a recent surge in studying surfaces of infinite type\, i.e. surfaces with infinitely-generated fundamental groups.  In this talk\, we will focus on their mapping class groups\, often called big mapping class groups. In contrast to the finite-type case\, there are many open questions regarding the basic algebraic and topological properties of big mapping class groups. I will discuss several such questions and provide some answers.  In particular\, I will focus on automorphisms of pure mapping class groups and topological generating sets. This work is joint with Priyam Patel. Speaker(s): Nicholas Vlamis (UM)

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WINTER 2017 COMMUNICATION & MEDIA SPEAKER SERIES Perceived Realism\, Narrative Persuasion\, and the Beholder’s Eye
DESCRIPTION:Much\, but not all\, research conducted since the late 1970s has demonstrated a relationship between people’s judgments of media content realism and the potential impact of that content. The same research has struggled to identify the conceptual dimensions people use to make judgments about realism.  This talk will briefly present the results of two experiments that look at the thoughts people report having while consuming written and filmic narratives and how those thoughts relate to their scores on perceived realism and narrative engagement scales. Then the thoughts reported will be used as a basis to discuss alternative or additional ways to conceptualize the concepts of perceived realism and unrealism\, and how those concepts could be operationalized.   \n\nRick Busselle’s research and teaching focuses on how mediated stories influence our perceptions and understandings of social issues related to poverty\, crime\, addiction\, and mental illness. His research focuses specifically on engagement with narratives\, perceived realism of stories\, and the social construction of reality through media. His work has been published in Communication Theory\, Communication Research\, and The Journal of Broadcasting & Electronic Media\, among other scholarly journals and academic proceedings.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture: Multispectral Imaging: Shedding Light on Ancient Paint Surfaces
DESCRIPTION:The technical study of ancient polychromy often relies on investigative techniques that require sampling and comparative analysis using instrumentation. Such techniques are not always achievable\, due to their very dependence on samples\, the acquisition of which may be restricted depending on the collection or site. For this reason\, conservators at the Kelsey Museum have explored the use of non-invasive analytical and imaging techniques to investigate ancient paint surfaces. One of these techniques is Multispectral Imaging (MSI). MSI is non-destructive\, affordable\, and easily achievable in most settings\, since it requires only a modified camera\, lens filters\, and portable light sources. This talk will present case studies highlighting recent endeavors to optimize MSI research for field settings. \n\nReception 5:30 pm\, Lecture 6:00 pm.\n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Performance:Step Afrika!
DESCRIPTION:Step Afrika! is the first professional dance company dedicated to the art and tradition of stepping. Over the past 21 years Step Afrika! has grown to become one of the top 10 African American Dance Companies in the US and Washington DC’s largest African American arts organization. Step Afrika! began as an exchange program with the Soweto Dance Theatre of Johannesburg\, South Africa\, and has expanded to become a national and international touring company presenting performance\, residencies and workshops worldwide. The Company blends percussive dance styles practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities\, African traditional dance and influences from a variety of other dance and art forms. Performances are much more than dance shows\; they integrate songs\, storytelling\, humor\, and audience participation. The blend of technique\, agility\, and pure energy makes each performance unique and leaves the audience with their hearts pounding. Step Afrika! promotes stepping as an educational tool for young people\, focusing on teamwork\, academic achievement and cross-cultural understanding. This event was planned with the goal of bringing awareness of the performance art of stepping to the campus community\, while simultaneously educating the audience about stepping’s traditional African roots and how it correlates with Black Greek Letter Organizations.\n\nBox Office opens at 6:30pm for the 7pm start time. Tickets are FREE but required for entry.
