SUMMARY:Exhibition:Civitates Orbis Terrarum: Braun & Hogenberg’s Evolving World
DESCRIPTION:Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World)\, the first standardized city atlas\, contains over 540 maps and views between its six volumes. First published in 1572 by Georg Braun (1541-1622) and Frans Hogenberg (1535-1590)\, Civitates was first intended as a companion to Ortelius’s Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. New editions of the city atlas continued to be printed through 1617. Hogenberg\, one of the most prolific engravers of the time\, was joined by many other engravers in creating the Civitates. Braun edited the work and provided the descriptions of the cities on the verso of each plate. This exhibit contains 18 works from the Civitates\, including many from the Clark Library’s holdings. Also included are reproductions of large panoramas Amsterdam\, London\, and St. Petersburg that reflect the evolution of city mapping through the 17th and 18th centuries.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition | Graffiti as Devotion along the Nile: El-Kurru\, Sudan
DESCRIPTION:Ancient graffiti provide a unique glimpse into the lives of individuals in antiquity. Religious devotion in ancient Kush (a region located in modern-day northern Sudan)\, involved pilgrimage and leaving informal marks on temples\, pyramids\, and other monumental structures. These graffiti are found in temples throughout the later (“Meroitic”) period of Kush\, when it bordered Roman Egypt. They represent one of the few direct traces of the devotional practices of private people in Kush and hint at individuals’ thoughts\, values\, and daily lives. This exhibition explores the times and places in which Kushite graffiti were inscribed through photos\, text\, and interactive media presentations. At the heart of the show are the hundreds of Meroitic graffiti recently discovered in a rock-cut temple by the Kelsey expedition to El-Kurru in northern Sudan.\n\nCurators: Geoff Emberling and Suzanne Davis\n\nView the online exhibition:\nhttp://exhibitions.kelsey.lsa.umich.edu/graffiti-el-kurru/

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Other Crusoes\, Other Islands: Mapping a Complex Legacy
DESCRIPTION:On the 300th anniversary of the publication of The Life and Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe\, of York\, Mariner\, this exhibit interrogates the troubled legacy of Daniel Defoe’s seminal English novel. It also explores how creators have pushed back against the colonialist\, hyper-masculine\, and racist ethos of the text by using the castaway narrative to explore self-sufficiency\, otherness\, and the role of gendered and racialized ideas in constructing the self.\n\nThis novel of shipwreck\, survival\, and rescue has become a cultural touchstone. Today\, many people who haven’t read the novel still feel familiar with key plot elements\, Robinson Crusoe\, and Friday. Yet\, there is less familiarity with how both the original text and many of the adaptations of Robinson Crusoe have fed into and reinforced narratives of imperialism and racism. Drawing on the Hubbard Collection of Imaginary Voyages - one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of editions\, translations\, adaptations\, and spin-offs of Robinson Crusoe - Other Crusoes\, Other Islands seeks to understand how readers and writers have engaged with the story since its initial publication in 1719.\n\nContent Advisory: Please be aware that some items in this exhibit feature racist imagery and potentially painful content. Although Robinson Crusoe is often treated as children’s literature and this exhibit includes children’s books and board games\, it is not an exhibit geared towards children and reflects the significant shifts over time in ideas about what is appropriate for children.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WHITE HISTORY MONTH VOL. 1
DESCRIPTION:Mining symbols of power and oppression from the historical strata of western art\, Sawyer exposes truths\, while covering others to gain a clearer picture of concepts that have shaped our current society. Within the context of his figurative drawings and paintings Sawyer presents an alternative to the historical record that often accompanies well known images throughout art history. \n\nInspired by current trends to redact post Civil War Confederate monuments from the American landscape\, Sawyer poses the question: Why are some symbols of oppression lauded\, considered sacred and become canonized while others cause the public to demand their destruction? Is there a logical thread in the tapestry of oppression? Can this thread be observed and considered? Lastly\, can this thread then be unraveled?  \n\nAdditionally\, this exhibition features a series of drawings titled Grâce Nóir\, which features Black women whose works have contributed to shaping the landscape of visual culture.\n\nAs part of his residency\, Sawyer also worked with U-M students to create a mural to honor Samuel C. Watson\, the first African American student admitted to the University of Michigan. The mural is on view on the first floor of MLB.\n\nAbout the artist:\n\nTylonn J. Sawyer (b. 1976) is an American figurative artist\, educator\, and curator living and working in Detroit\, Michigan.  His work centers around themes of identity\, both individual and collective\, politics\, race\, history and pop culture. In 2013\, Sawyer expanded his studio practice to include large public murals and collaborative projects throughout Detroit. Sawyer is a professor of art at Oakland Community College and teaches drawing at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. His passion for arts education lead to his community work with youth including various community arts programs throughout New York\, where he served as an art director\, teacher\, curriculum specialist\, and more. Most recently\, in early 2014\, Sawyer started the first teen arts council in Michigan for the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. He earned an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art: Graduate School of Figurative Art and a BFA in drawing & painting from Eastern Michigan University.  In 2019\, he was awarded the Alain Locke Recognition Award as well as a Kresge Fellowship for Visual Art.

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\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of this exhibition:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics:
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of the political and cultural upheavals of the 60s and 70s\, artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. During these decades\, the notion that abstraction was a purely formal and American art form\, concerned only with timeless themes disconnected from the present\, was met with increased skepticism. Women artists and artists of color began to actively and assertively explore abstraction’s possibilities. The artworks in Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics: The 1960s and 1970s demonstrate both radical and disarming changes in how artists worked and what they thought their art was about. Their new formal and intellectual strategies—seen here across large-scale and miniature work—dramatically transformed the practice of abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s in a politically shifting American landscape.\n\nUMMA gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support:\n\nLead Exhibition Sponsors: University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, and College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\n\nExhibition Endowment Donors:  Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, and Robert and Janet Miller Fund\n\nUniversity of Michigan Funding Partners: Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, School of Social Work\, Department of Political Science\, and Department of Women's Studies

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Collection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Copies and Invention in East Asia
DESCRIPTION:Far from being frowned upon as uncreative\, in China\, Korea\, and Japan\, copying has long been considered a valuable practice. Through works of art spanning ancient to contemporary times\, Copies and Invention in East Asia challenges our understanding of originality\, and presents copying as an act of imaginative interpretation. The exhibition includes burial goods that conjure a world for the deceased\; Buddhist sculptures produced in multiples to amplify religious experience and meaning\; paintings in which a master’s brushstrokes are faithfully duplicated as a way of shaping the self\; and contemporary works that address multiplicity and duplication in the modern world.\n\nLead support is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, Center for Japanese Studies\, Nam Center for Korean Studies\, School of Information\, and College of Engineering. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Fabrication Studio at the Duderstadt Center\, the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and SeeMeCNC 3D Printers.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mari Katayama
DESCRIPTION:Japanese artist Mari Katayama (born 1987) features her own body in a provocative series of works combining photography\, sculpture\, and textile. Born with a developmental condition\, the artist had both her legs amputated at the age of nine and has worn prosthetics ever since. In order to fill a deep gap between her own understanding of self and physicality\, and contemporary society’s simplistic categorizations\, Katayama began to explore her identity by objectifying her body in her art. In photographs she assumes different personas\, dressed in revealing lingerie in private\, domestic spaces or in dramatic waterscapes. The unflinching display of the vulnerabilities and limits of Katayama’s body opens up a broader conversation about anxieties and wounds for all of us—disabled or nondisabled—living in an age obsessed with body image. UMMA’s installation will be the artist’s first solo exhibition in the U.S.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Center for Japanese Studies\, the Japan Business Society of Detroit Foundation\, the Japan Cultural Development\, and Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment. Additional generous support is provided by the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund\, the University of Michigan CEW+ Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Institute for Research on Women and Gender\, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures\, and Women's Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Take Your Pick: Collecting Found Photographs
DESCRIPTION:Come help build our collection of “ordinary” American 20th-century photographs.\n \nTake Your Pick invites you—the Museum’s visitors—to select photographs for our permanent collection. What belongs in a permanent collection\, and why? Who and what should be represented\, and how should we decide? This exhibition considers these questions in regard to 1\,000 amateur photographs on loan from the private collection of Peter J. Cohen\, who has gathered more than 60\,000 snapshots while exploring flea markets in the United States and Europe over two decades. The images he has collected depict all aspects of daily life and reveal the dynamic histories of amateur photography. Such pictures have particular significance in the current digital age\, when it is much less common to make physical copies of personal photographs. They constitute important artifacts of twentieth-century visual culture and precedents for the photographs we still make today. You are invited to make your voice heard in the selection process by voting for the photographs that resonate most with you!  \n \nVote for your favorite pictures: Saturday\, September 21\, 2019 – Sunday\, January 12\, 2020 Final selections on view: Tuesday\, January 14 – Sunday\, February 23\, 2020\n\nSupport for this exhibition is provided by Cecilia and Mark Vonderheide and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and Department of Film\, Television\, and Media.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Brown Bag: \"The Radical Visual Rhetoric of Early Abolition\"
DESCRIPTION:In this Brown Bag lunch talk\, Dr. Phillip Troutman will discuss his current research at the Clements Library as recipient of the Reese Fellowship in the Print Culture of the Americas. Dr. Troutman is a 2018-2019 Smithsonian Senior Fellow and an Assistant Professor of Writing and of History at the George Washington University. He is working on a book\, drawing on visual theory\, rhetoric\, history\, and art history to provide the first assessment of the American Anti-Slavery Society's visual program of periodicals\, pamphlets\, prints\, and books in the 1830s\, their formative decade. In contrast to other scholars of anti-slavery images\, he argues that the AASS's visual rhetoric in the 1830s was innovative\, specific\, and radical\, especially in its depiction of the subjectivity and agency of African Americans.\n\nAttendees are welcome to bring a lunch and eat during the presentation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:LSI Seminar Series: Jon Clardy\, Ph.D.\, Harvard Medical School
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nNumerous studies with varying degrees of statistical power have found correlations between the composition of the bacterial population in the human gut microbiome and disease states. But the molecules and mechanism(s) connecting a dysbiotic microbiome to a specific disease are generally unknown. In an attempt to address this gap\, we undertook a series of screens to link bacterial metabolites with diseases like type 1 diabetes (T1D) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We focused on primary drivers of inflammation like TNFα (tumor necrosis factor alpha) produced by human dendritic cells. This seminar will describe our screening logic\, the selection of candidate bacterial strains\, the discovery of the small molecule regulators of cytokine production\, their structures and biosynthesis\, and inflammatory mechanism.  \n\nAbout the speaker:\nJon Clardy obtained his B.S. degree from Yale University and his Ph.D. from Harvard University\, both in chemistry. He has served on the Chemistry Department faculties of Iowa State University and Cornell University\, and he is currently the Hsien Wu & Daisy Yen Wu Professor of Biological Chemistry & Molecular Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School. His research has focused on naturally occurring biologically active small molecules\, their macromolecular targets\, and their roles in biology and medicine. His current interests involve the molecular underpinnings of complex symbiotic systems involving both prokaryotes and eukaryotes\, bacterial influences on animal and plant development\, bacterial communications\, and the influence of the human gut microbiome on human health and disease. He currently lectures in graduate courses and teaches a Freshman Seminar entitled Psychoactive Molecules from Babylon to Breaking Bad to Harvard undergraduates.

SUMMARY:Other:Materials Third Year Student Seminars
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on the covalent bonding of small organic molecules (alkanes\, viologens) on silicon surfaces for advanced photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical applications. The data explores the premise that the type of surface bonding will influence the resultant electronic properties of the interface. Results from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy\, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy\, microwave conductivity\, and electrochemical measurements of as prepared silicon electrode surfaces will be detailed and discussed. Overall\, these findings suggest two points. First\, Si-C bonds more directly eliminate and prevent surface defects in possible device applications. Second\, covalently attached viologens are possible platforms for studying electron transfer between Si and fixed redox acceptors.\nTaylor Bramlett\, Michael Bellas\, Giacomo Di Mauro\, Takunda Chazovachii\, Wenhao Shao\, Brianna Barbu\, Taylor Soucy\, Robert Vasquez

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE Chair's Distinguished Seminar Series: \"Opportunities and Challenges for Electric/Hybrid-Electric Aircraft Propulsion Systems\"
DESCRIPTION:Kiruba S. Haran\nAssociate Professor\nUniversity of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign\n\nAmbitious goals have been set for future transport aircraft to ensure the sustainability of the aviation industry. This includes a better than 70% reduction in fuel burn. These challenging goals require disruptive technologies beyond the current evolutionary trends. One approach being explored is the use of electric/hybrid-electric propulsion. Small electric aircraft are already being produced and offered commercially\, but significant challenges prevent scaling up to commercial aviation. Technology gaps include the availability of lightweight batteries\, motors\, generators and transmission lines. In a recent report\, the National Academy of Engineers has identified power levels and specific-power targets for electrical machines to enable the electrification of different classes of aircraft. Both cryogenic and non-cryogenic machines are being pursued to meet these requirements\, and significant advances have made in the last few years.  Risks remain in their practical implementation in actual aircraft. This talk will describe the state of the art in airborne electrical machines\, approaches for attaining higher power and efficiency\, and potential challenges and opportunities in the integration of these technologies in electric/hybrid electric aircraft. Experience from a NASA NRA to develop a high specific power 1-MW motor will also be shared.  \n\nAbout the speaker...\n\nKiruba Haran obtained his BS in Electrical Engineering from OAU in Nigeria\, and a PhD from RPI in Troy\, NY. He is an Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Associate Director of the Grainger Center for Electrical Machines and Electromechanics. Over the past five years Kiruba has been working with NASA and industry partners on high specific power motors and drives for electrified aircraft. Prior to this\, he was at GE Research for 13 years\, developing electrical machine technology for multiple GE businesses. His contributions include demonstration of a multi-megawatt superconducting generator for the US AFRL\, which could enable a range of airborne applications including hybrid electric propulsion for large transport aircraft. Kiruba is a former chair of the Electric Machinery Committee of the IEEE Power and Energy Society\, and serves on the Steering Committee of the IEEE Transportation Electrification Community\, the AIAA Aircraft Electrified Propulsion and Power Working Group\, and the editorial board of the IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion. He is an IEEE Fellow and Associate Fellow of AIAA.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Positive Links Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Positive Links Speaker Series\nAuthenticity on One’s Own Terms\nPatricia Faison Hewlin\n\nThursday\, December 12\, 2019\n4:00-5:00 p.m.\nFree and open to the public.\n\nRegister here: http://myumi.ch/yKKPW\n\nMichigan Ross Campus\nRoss Building\n701 Tappan \nRobertson Auditorium\nAnn Arbor\, MI 48109-1234\n\nPositive Links:\nThe Positive Links Speaker Series\, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations\, offers inspiring and practical research-based strategies for building organizations that are high performing and bring out the best in its people. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics\, students\, staff\, and leaders.\n\nPositive Links sessions take place at Michigan Ross\, and are free and open to the public.\n\nAbout the talk:\nThe exhortation to be true to oneself is often intended to empower\, but it can actually promote apprehension because instructions are rarely provided. Thus\, many shy away from what is true to self\, take on inauthentic behaviors to fit into their work environments\, or at worst\, turn to harsh transparency\, alienating those around them. In this session\, Hewlin will share how people can be authentic “on their own terms” by identifying their thresholds of authenticity as well as personal values that can be integrated into the workplace to: increase work engagement\, foster positive relationships\, and enhance overall personal well-being.\n\nAbout Hewlin:\nPatricia Faison Hewlin is the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Programs\, and Associate Professor in the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. She is also a visiting professor at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in Chengdu\, China. Prior to joining academia\, she was a Vice President for Citi\, where she managed financial centers in New York City. \n\nHewlin conducts research on how organization members and leaders engage in authentic expression\, as well as factors that impede authenticity in the workplace. Her research has primarily centered on employee silence\, and the degree to which members suppress personal values and pretend to embrace organizational values\, a behavior she terms as “creating facades of conformity.” Her most recent research explores authenticity from a cross-cultural perspective\, and how organizations\, particularly leaders can leverage diverse and divergent authentic self-expressions among followers\, while promoting positive work interactions and productivity. \n\nHewlin is published in several academic journals including Academy of Management Journal\, Academy of Management Review\, Organization Science\, Journal of Applied Psychology\, Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology\, and Journal of Chinese Management. She has also contributed to the Globe and Mail\, Huffington Post\, Getting Smart\, and Harvard Business Review. \n\nOn a personal note\, Hewlin enjoys traveling\, solving puzzles\, and quiet moments with her family.\n\nHost: \nJane Dutton\, co-founder of the Center for Positive Organizations\; Robert L. Kahn Distinguished University Professor Emerita of Business Administration and Psychology\n\nSponsors:\nThe Center for Positive Organizations thanks University of Michigan Organizational Learning\, Sanger Leadership Center\, Tauber Institute for Global Operations\, Samuel Zell & Robert H. Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies\, Lisa and David (MBA ‘87) Drews\, and Diane (BA ‘73) and Paul (MBA ‘75) Jones for their support of the 2019-20 Positive Links Speaker Series.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture | Reconsidering the Role of Destruction at the End of the Late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the Eastern Mediterranean\, the end of the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1200 BC) is a time often defined by violence\, upheavals\, the loss of complexity\, the collapse of empires and palatial structures\, the disappearance of writing\, and the movement of displaced populations. Great destruction events ravaged the Eastern Mediterranean at this time\, including the destruction of the palaces at Mycenae\, Midea\, Tiryns\, and Pylos\, the desolation of Enkomi on Cyprus\, the burning of Ras Shamra in Syria\, and the sacking of Hattusa in Anatolia. \n\nThe question that must be asked is\, how many of these sites were actually destroyed? And for those that were\, was the destruction caused by man in the form of revolutions\, intersite conflict\, and foreign invaders? Or by nature in the form of devastating earthquakes? The goal of this talk is to demonstrate just how much was destroyed at the end of the Late Bronze Age in the Eastern Mediterranean and what this indicates for the multiple theories that utilize destruction as a prime mover in the collapse of Bronze Age civilizations.\n\nReception at the Kelsey Museum at 5:30 PM\, lecture to follow at 6:00 PM.\n\nFAST lectures are free and open to the public. If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this tour\, please call the Kelsey at 734-647-4167 at least two weeks in advance. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Private Equity \"Bake-Off\" Competition
DESCRIPTION:Nine University of Michigan student teams will square off against each other on Thursday\, December 12\, during the annual private equity “battle of the pitches\,” held by the Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance\, or CVP\, at the Ross School of Business. \nOnly two teams will advance to the “Bake-off” semifinals\, where they will have a shot at winning this year’s Brophy-Gelband Merit Scholarship and $10\,000 in prize money. \n\nThe event will be held in the Ross School’s Blau Auditorium\, and is open to members and friends of the U-M student\, faculty and alumni community at 6 p.m.\n\n	The 12th annual Private Equity “Bake-off” competition serves as the capstone event for MBA and U-M graduate students enrolled in Professor David J. Brophy’s Private Equity Finance course. \n\nFor this highly anticipated interclass challenge\, each student team will present a detailed proposal for a private-equity takeover of an existing public company. A judge’s panel composed of private equity investors and investment practitioners will rank the teams by the quality\, comprehensiveness and attractiveness (in terms of projected return on investment) of their public-to-private buyout pitches. Then the judges will narrow the competitive field to two semi-finalists. \n\nDuring the “Bake-off\,” the Blau Colloquium audience of students\, alumni and sponsors will cast popular votes for the semifinalist team with the best buyout pitch. The winner will receive the Brophy-Gelband Merit Scholarship and take home $7\,500 in prize money. The runner-up will receive $2\,500.\n\n“Alan Gelband\, an alum and great friend of U-M Ross\, joins us in facilitating student access to opportunities in the private equity and alternative investment field\,” Professor Brophy says. “Graduates of this and other Center for Venture Capital and Private Equity Finance (CVP) courses and competitions are now private equity fund leaders globally and providing continued support for our programs and conferences.” \n\nAt the beginning of the fall term\, Professor Brophy assigned the student teams to select and evaluate a middle-market public company for a possible “model” private-equity acquisition. The students used publicly available financial records to assess the company’s management\, revenue\, profits and market position\, and subsequently to project the estimated return on investment for private equity investors. Based on this extensive information gathering and financial analysis\, each team formulated a buyout pitch for the target company it had chosen.\n\nAlan Gelband\, BBA ’65\, MBA ’67\, the benefactor for the annual Bake-off award\, says the public-to-private buyout competition serves both as a learning tool for students and a talent pipeline for the PE industry. \n“This is an important exercise for anyone who wants to get into private equity\, which is a leader of business evolution today\,” says Gelband\, the founder and managing director at Gelband & Co. investment banking.\n\nOther Ross and CVP alumni and regional private equity investors who volunteer as judges also play a formative role during the annual Bake-off competition by providing constructive feedback on the teams’ buyout pitches and suggesting ways to strengthen their written and oral presentations. This year’s roster of judges includes investors from regional and national private equity firms.\n***\nFor more information\, contact Professor David Brophy at djbrophy@umich.edu or 734.764.7587 or Karen Phelps at klweber@umich.edu or 734.763-0267.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Ebird & Friends Holiday Show
DESCRIPTION:It happens in the middle of Michigan in the heart of December. Since 2007\, it has become a yearly tradition for The Ragbirds to present this unique family-friendly holiday show called Ebird & Friends. The songs and artists change from year to year\, but the spirit of the event is community\, the soul is creativity and the show is unforgettable. \"Ebird\"is Erin Zindle\, lead singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of The Ragbirds. Erin’s budding childhood love of music was sparked at Christmastime. The holidays were the one time each year that the entire Zindle family gathered to make music together\, and that early communal experience of music took deep roots. Fiddles\, horns\, bagpipes\, guitars\, and instruments from all over the world will be sounding their voices together in harmony. Expect to be entertained\, surprised\, cheered\, and warmed by this collaborative artistic performance of new and old songs\, including Ragbirds' original songs inspired by the holiday. This show has become a phenomenon—it's up to four presentations this year for its 12th anniversary\, and it shows no signs of slowing down.
