She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

His grandfather Arthur Desch stoked coal in steam engines before becoming a train engineer on the Jersey Central Line. At family gatherings in Chadwick’s grandparent’s home\, his aunts and cousins played music to the rhythms of the trains outside. From Junior Parker\, Elvis Presley\, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash\, to arts writers and directors Greil Marcus and Jim Jarmusch\, the enduring mythos of America and its legacy has been wrapped up in the blues notes of the song “Mystery Train”. Chadwick’s current series of paintings\, Mystery Train\, is steeped in the powerful echoes of those machine days.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm.

As the sands of Egypt has preserved also numerous Coptic manuscripts\, the transmission of the literary heritage of Egyptian Christians can be documented quite well from its beginnings in the 4th century CE until its decline in the 12th-13th centuries CE\, when it was completely superseded by Arabic. This exhibit aims to show some of the hallmarks of Coptic literature using manuscripts kept in the Special Collections Research Center of the University of Michigan Library. Topics explored include the main Coptic dialects\; bilingualism in Egypt\; books read by the Egyptian monks\; and the works of Shenoute the Great\, the most important author of Coptic literature.\n\nThis exhibit is curated by Dr. Frank Feder and Dr. Alin Suciu from the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

In an era of fake news and daily hyperbole\, Opdyke literally changes the picture by hand painting on 528 vintage postcards of well-known American landmarks and destinations. The postcards are assembled into a large mural--a vast gridded landscape beset by environmental chaos. Each card is placed to fit into the overall image\, and carefully modified with the gouache to show a realistically rendered piece of the overall turmoil.\n\nThe installation also features animated shorts and script-driven video\, which take place within the visual confines of one or more postcards. The animation is inspired\, in part\, by Terry Gilliam’s animation work on Monty Python’s \"Flying Circus\" and by the classical music sound effects in the Road Runner cartoons.\n\nAbout David Opdyke:\nDavid Opdyke is a draughtsman\, sculptor\, and animator known for his trenchant political send-ups of American culture. Born in Schenectady\, NY in 1969\, he graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in painting and sculpture. His work is informed by the massive industrial and corporate restructuring he witnessed growing up\, namely the abandonment of the city center by manufacturing giants General Electric and ALCO. As GE shifted resources to neighboring Niskayuna\, the disparities became hard for Opdyke to ignore. Massive\, decaying factories\, an empty interstate loop\, and unemployment were downtown\; new streets\, expensive homes\, sushi and shopping malls were in the suburbs.\n\nFor 20 years Opdyke worked as a scenic painter and architectural model-maker. Ranging from intricate miniature constructions to room-sized installations\, his artwork explores globalization\, consumerism\, and civilization’s abusive relationship with the environment.\n\nThis project is supported by a grant from the Efroymson Family Fund.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908100@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190102T121619 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Paul Rand: The Designer's Task DESCRIPTION:Paul Rand's visionary conceptions of brand identity \nPaul Rand was a giant of American design\, whose influential career spanned the second half of the twentieth century. His visionary and pithy conceptions of corporate and non-profit brand identities—though often graphically minimal—embody the artist’s complex philosophy\, interest in modernist aesthetics\, and singular wit. This exhibition features posters\, book covers\, and packaging designs from Rand’s beginnings as a pro bono designer for arts and culture publications like Direction magazine to his decades of crafting trailblazing corporate design for companies such as IBM. Paul Rand: The Designer’s Task affords viewers the opportunity to explore the genre of graphic design within the context of the art museum and examine how Rand’s intellectual process and impact on visual culture developed over time.\n\n UID:58560-14511100@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/58560 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Culture,Exhibition,Museum,Philosophy,UMMA LOCATION:Museum of Art - The Jan and David Brandon Family Bridge CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190205T145754 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T123000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:ChE Seminar Series: Suchol Savagatrup DESCRIPTION:Massachusetts Institute of Technology\n“Imitating Nature’s Gentle Approach: Molecular Engineering of Soft Materials for Energy and Sensing”\n\nABSTRACT\n\nWhile conventional electronic devices are composed of hard materials\, the pliability and chemical reactivity of soft organic materials may afford new solutions to pressing scientific challenges for applications in energy and environmental monitoring. Here\, I will present two examples of molecular engineering of soft materials for (1) mechanically robust organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and (2) bioinspired chemical sensors. OPVs hold promises to produce devices with performance approaching that of silicon-based electronics\, but with the mechanical stability of conventional plastics. However\, obtaining both “plastic” deformability and high energy conversion efficiency has proven challenging. I will discuss the relationships between mechanical compliance and charge transport in polymeric systems\, and the rational design principles that lead to intrinsically stretchable OPVs\, allowing for the co-optimization toward the “best of both worlds.” In addition\, I will discuss the fabrications of chemical sensors based on complex liquid colloids. These dynamic\, multicomponent emulsions behave as a natural sensor with reconfigurable morphologies that are extremely sensitive to the chemical environment. Specifically\, their unique coupling between chemical\, morphological\, and optical properties can be leveraged to detect different classes of biomolecules. These nature-inspired examples serve as an important step in demonstrating the possibility of translating chemical principles to practical devices. \n\nBIO\n\nuchol Savagatrup obtained his Bachelor of Science from UC Berkeley in 2012 and his Ph.D. from UC San Diego in 2016\, both in Chemical Engineering.

However\, many of the former pay-by-the-day hotels (doya) now cater to foreign and domestic budget travelers and the neighborhoods are seeing large scale redevelopment. How are residents\, especially the poor\, experiencing this advancing gentrification? Do these neighborhoods retain their function as neighborhoods of refuge (kakikomi chi’iki)\, buffering residents from the most extreme forms of urban marginality? I will explore these questions by drawing on ethnographic research in Tokyo’s San’ya and Osaka’s Kamagasaki conducted over a 25-year period.\n\nMatthew Marr is Associate Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociocultural Studies and Asian Studies at Florida International University.

While major efforts are focused on the immune cell component of islet inflammation and insulitis in diabetes\, the nature of beta-cell-intrinsic mechanisms that can modulate islet inflammation are incompletely understood. Among these mechanisms are the beta-cell’s unique metabolic features\, such as the low affinity glucose phosphorylating enzyme glucokinase (GK\, hexokinase IV) and close coupling of glycolysis to mitochondrial pyruvate handling. Glucose imparts protective or toxic effects on beta-cells depending on the extent and duration of the increase in glucose flux through GK\; however\, our mechanistic understanding of these effects and their influence on the beta-cell response to inflammation is limited.\n\nWe investigated the contribution of glucose metabolism to beta-cell survival during islet inflammation by performing detailed metabolomics\, biochemical and functional analyses comparing toxic versus protective GK activation in human donor islets. These integrative analyses uncovered a previously unappreciated link between mitochondrial pyruvate handling\, amino acid metabolism and the extent of oxidative stress through nitric oxide synthesis. The mechanistic underpinnings of protective versus toxic glucose signaling in beta-cells and their translational utility for enhancing functional beta-cell mass in diabetes will be discussed.\n\n\nSpeaker:\nNika Danial\, Ph.D.\, is an associate professor of cell biology at the Harvard Medical School and an associate professor of cancer biology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. She earned her Ph.D. from Columbia University before completing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. Her research focuses on deciphering the molecular determinants of cellular fuel choice and their functional consequences\, including metabolic adaptation and metabolic control of cellular stress responses. This research program has led to discoveries linking fuel metabolism to cellular fate and function that have relevant implications for diseases such as diabetes\, seizure disorders and cancer.

Among the sources of gravitational wave transients\, compact objects such as neutron stars (NSs) and black holes (BHs) play the most important role. In this talk\, I will focus on the expected gravitational wave signal when two compact objects (NS-NS and NS-BH) in a binary merge. These events are believed to be accompanied by a strong electromagnetic signature in gamma-rays\, followed by longer-wavelength radiation. I will discuss what can be learned from the complementary observations of the electromagnetic and the gravitational wave signals during these events.\n\nShould you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event\, please contact Stacy Tiburzi at 734-764-3440 or stibu@umich.edu.

It can provide broad coverage and deep penetration as well as interpretable ice thickness\, basal topography\, and englacial radio stratigraphy. However\, despite the long tradition of glaciological interpretation of radar images\, quantitative analyses of radar sounding data are rare and face several technical challenges. These include attenuation uncertainty from unknown ice temperature and chemistry\, clutter and losses from surface and volume scattering\, and a lack of problem-specific radar theory. However\, there is rich\, often underexploited\, information in modern radar sounding data\, which is being collected over terrestrial and planetary ice at an unprecedented rate. The development and application of hypothesis-driven analysis approaches for these data can place observational constraints on the morphologic\, hydrologic\, geologic\, mechanical\, thermal\, and oceanographic configurations of ice sheets and glaciers. These boundary conditions – and the physical processes which they express and control – are filling a fundamental gap our ability to understand the evolution of both marine ice sheets and icy moons. These include the subglacial hydrology of marine ice sheets and the thermophysical structure of planetary ice shells.\n\nPlease join us!

Disruptions in these signaling events can cause aberrant healing\, leading to impaired function. Biomaterials developed to deliver cells and proteins to tissue often fail to recapitulate the complex\, endogenous healing response to injury\, and lack the ability to control the bioactivity and local presentation of therapeutics in the injury site. I aim to engineer affinity interactions between therapeutic proteins and biomaterials to create delivery vehicles that can exert precise control over protein bioactivity and delivery. This seminar will demonstrate how novel approaches in protein engineering\, computational bio-transport modeling\, and directed evolution can be used to overcome the limitations of typical biomaterial delivery vehicles and advance clinically relevant treatment strategies for both musculoskeletal and central nervous system injuries.\n\nMarian Hettiaratchi\, Ph.D.\, is a Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Shoichet Lab at the University of Toronto.

McNamara\nProfessor\nDirector: Multi-Physics Interactions Research Group\nDirector: AFRL-University Collaborative Center in Structural Sciences\nMechanical & Aerospace Engineering\nThe Ohio State University\n\nRecent technological advancements and expanding investments worldwide place us on the cusp of a hypersonics revolution. Yet the hypersonic environment remains largely untamed\, and routine operations within it\, elusive. Prominent issues are difficulty in comprehensively replicating the environment during testing and a broad set of potential multi-discipline interactions that are not sufficiently understood. These obfuscate nearly all aspects of hypersonic vehicle development\, and often lead to underachievement in performance objectives\, catastrophic failure\, or cancelled programs. The structural system plays a key role in the future of hypersonics by impacting vehicle robustness\, survivability\, agility\, guidance/control\, and propulsion. In this context\, established challenges on fluid-thermal-structural interactions are briefly reviewed. A more focused discussion is then provided on a long-standing problem: namely deep understanding and modeling of loads transmitted from a turbulent boundary layer to a compliant structure. Key points covered are characteristic parameters that dominate energy transfer\, the degree of coupling between turbulence and an aerothermoelastic structure\, and how to efficiently capture dominant interactions for relevant thermo-structural response scales. \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nJack J. McNamara is a professor in the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at the Ohio State University. His research interests are broadly in the areas of computational fluid-structural interactions and model reduction of high-dimensional dynamical systems. A core application target is air vehicle operation in high-speed flow regimes\, where there is a potential for complex interactions at both the component (fluid-thermal-structural-material) and vehicle (aero-servo-thermo-elastic-propulsive) levels. Other application areas include fluid-structural centric problems associated with ship airwakes\, wind turbines\, flapping wing air vehicles\, automobiles\, and turbomachinery. He is the director of the Multi-Physics Interactions Research Group at the Ohio State University and the seven-year AFRL-University Collaborative Center in Structural Sciences. The latter represents a partnership between the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate\, Ohio State University\, Johns Hopkins University\, Arizona State University\, and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Donia Graduate Student Fellowship. Human Rights in the Neoliberal Maelstrom DESCRIPTION:The age of human rights has been kindest to the rich. Even as state violations of political rights garnered unprecedented attention due to human rights campaigns\, a commitment to material equality disappeared. In its place\, market fundamentalism has emerged as the dominant force in national and global economies. In his provocative new book\, \"Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World\,\" Samuel Moyn analyzes how and why we chose to make human rights our highest ideals while simultaneously neglecting the demands of a broader social and economic justice. \n\nThis event is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan: Department of History\, Department of Sociology\, and Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies.\n\nSamuel Moyn is Professor of Law and Professor of History at Yale University. His areas of interest in legal scholarship include international law\, human rights\, the law of war\, and legal thought\, in both historical and current perspective. In intellectual history\, he has worked on a diverse range of subjects\, especially twentieth-century European moral and political theory. \n \nHe has written several books in his fields of European intellectual history and human rights history\, including \"The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History\" (2010)\, and edited or coedited a number of others. His most recent book\, based on Mellon Distinguished Lectures at the University of Pennsylvania in fall 2014\, is \"Christian Human Rights\" (2015). A final book of human rights history\, \"Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World\,\" appeared from Harvard University Press in April 2018. Over the years he has written in venues such as Boston Review\, the Chronicle of Higher Education\, Dissent\, The Nation\, The New Republic\, the New York Times\, and the Wall Street Journal. \n\nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to umichhumanrights@umich.edu at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Under the biological species concept\, a species is a set of populations that are united by gene flow and which maintain independence from other such populations through the property of reproductive isolation. For this reason\, the study of speciation has largely been equated with the study of genetic barriers to gene exchange between populations. Here\, I describe an expanded framework for conceptualizing speciation that emphasizes key roles for processes other than reproductive isolation in the origins of biological diversity. These additional factors include those that affect the origin and persistence of demographically-isolated populations. I develop a general test for quantifying the contribution of these and other processes to the speciation\, and I apply the framework to several vertebrate clades. I describe limits to our understanding of evolution that follow from a near-exclusive focus on reproductive isolation in speciation biology.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/kD1qEyO9p5Q UID:49661-11487546@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49661 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20181023T085859 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T173000 SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:Hopwood Tea DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Hopwood Room for tea and conversation.

In terms of fundamental soil properties\, classical soil mechanics uses the basic mechanics concepts and utilizes experimentally observed soil behavior to develop application-driven engineering parameters. The microscopic mechanisms of these parameters are typically overlooked. This presentation will describe a framework that integrates computational models with characterization of the fundamental properties of soils to understand the structural and interaction bases of soil engineering parameters. The framework allows predicting soil engineering behaviors from the most fundamental characterizations. It has the potential of transforming soil mechanism into a predictive mechanics and catalyze the introduction of new sets of experimental tools for soil mechanics research.\nDr. Xiong (Bill) Yu is a professor at the Department of Civil Engineering\, Case Western Reserve University.

DESCRIPTION:The International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) at the University of Michigan calls on young people in Michigan\, throughout the country and internationally to support autoworkers in their fight against General Motors’ plan to close five plants in the US and Canada by joining the February 9 autoworkers demonstration in Detroit.\n\nThe closure of these plants will have devastating consequences for tens of thousands of autoworkers\, their families\, and the communities in which these plants are located. The workers and young people of Detroit\, Lordstown Ohio\, Oshawa Ontario and others targeted by GM must unite their struggles into a common fight to oppose the closures!\n\nThis meeting will also review how the fight against the plant closures is part of a much larger fight taking place on an international scale: that between the working class of all countries and the capitalist ruling elite. The past year has been dominated by a reemergence of the class struggle internationally.\n\nThe February 9 demonstration in downtown Detroit has been called by the Steering Committee of the Coalition of Rank-and-File Committees\, which was formed by workers in auto and other industries to organize a fight independently of the trade unions. Such committees must be formed in every workplace and neighborhood\, including in the schools\, to organize teachers and students in defense of public education.\n\nThe IYSSE at UM calls on youth and students to join us on February 9 at the demonstration at GM headquarters to support autoworkers in their struggle against the destruction of their jobs\, which will one day be our jobs\; against the destruction of their communities\, which are also our communities\; against the giant corporations and unions that collude in the attack on wages\, benefits and working conditions\; and against all those who seek to tie workers and youth to the Democratic and Republican parties.\n\nAll who interested in attending or learning more about the rally are encouraged to attend the Thursday 7pm informational meeting in the Kalamazoo Room of the Michigan League\, and to visit the Facebook event page: \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1719458588201031/ UID:60721-14954967@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60721 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Discussion,Economics,History,Politics LOCATION:Michigan League - Kalamazoo Room (2nd Floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190207T180016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T200000 SUMMARY:Other:Intermediate I Lesson DESCRIPTION:In this class\, you will become more comfortable with variations to movements and moving around the room.

Shelter\, created in 1988 by Urban Bush Women founder Jawole Willa Jo Zollar\, is an unsentimental commentary about homelessness and disenfranchisement. The New York Times wrote\, “[Shelter] is so filled with compassion and anger that it becomes a powerful incantation against the evils of obliviousness and neglect.” Alumna Jennifer Harge\, artistic director of Detroit’s Harge Dance Stories\, is a performer who uses the body to tell stories. She was recently honored as a Visual Arts Fellow by Kresge Arts in Detroit. Harge’s work lies at the intersection of movement\, performance art\, African-American culture\, and choreographies of protest. In celebration of Leonard Bernstein’s centenary\, faculty member Bill DeYoung sets a new work to Bernstein’s Prelude\, Fugue\, and Riffs (1955). Robin Wilson will create a new work inspired by her upcoming trip to Cuba in May.\n\nWatch an excerpt of Shelter performed by the Alvin Ailey Dance company at: youtube.com UID:52130-12444078@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/52130 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190125T181516 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T193000 SUMMARY:Performance:Faculty Showcase Concert DESCRIPTION:SMTD faculty will be featured in a collage-style concert\, highlighting many different departments and genres of music.

It's a damn noisy contraption. Constantly running. No 'off' switch\,\" says Ellis Paul. After growing up on a potato farm in northern Maine\, Ellis started writing songs while he was attending Boston College on a track scholarship and was laid up for several months with an injury. He's often called the quintessential New England songwriter\, and he's got more than a dozen of Boston Music Awards to prove it. Ellis's passionate\, literate character sketches\, delivered in a soaring\, lyrical voice\, have influenced a generation of folk songwriters toward the shamelessly poetic. The Boston Globe calls Ellis \"literate\, provocative\, urbanely romantic.\" Whatever you call him\, he's one of the major songwriters of our time. Says Absolute Punk\, which you might not think would be reviewing Ellis's albums: \"Everyone can relate to Ellis Paul and his songs\, and for that reason he continues to be a national treasure.\" UID:56709-13967647@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/56709 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190207T180016 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190207T210000 SUMMARY:Other:Intermediate II Lesson DESCRIPTION:Continue to advance yourself in the most advanced class we offer.
