UROP Research Mentors are faculty and post-doc researchers from across all U-M's 19 Schools and Colleges who provide undergraduate student researchers an opportunity to engage in research activities that help them learn about the pursuit of knowledge within an academic discipline. This early exposure to research fosters a valuable academic experience for students. Through this collaboration, students gain research skills and mentorship that lead to academic retention, a more positive undergraduate experience and paths to graduate school.

Beyond the Pandemic: Challenges and Opportunities for Changes in Education
Wednesday, May 12 at 1pm EDT
https://umich.zoom.us/j/96351558688

At the end of the school year in 2020 parents, educators, and researchers, wondered how to deal with the “COVID slide” related to achievement and gains in learning due to schools shifting to virtual learning across the country. What we did not know at the time is that many schools would struggle to open at all in the Fall of 2020 and online and remote learning would continue to be one of the primary ways that children were educated for the rest of the 2020-21 school year. Today, the question remains: What will parents, educators, and researchers need to consider regarding achievement and learning gains as children are likely to return to in-person schooling in Fall 2021? Dr. Pamela Davis-Kean will discuss her research on how homeschooling was discussed on social media, the issues related to “holding back” or repeating a grade in primary school, and how new proposed policies for free community college may be important for helping those in secondary education get extra time to develop skills for entry into a four-year college.

Inspiration in Medicine: Even before the Covid pandemic, disillusionment in the healthcare field felt like it was reaching epidemic proportions. Medical professionals say they would never choose the field if they had to do it all over again. Burnout—exacerbated by Covid—seems to be everywhere. But might it be too soon to close the book on healthcare? This presentation examines the impact of disillusionment, highlighting strategies for re-engaging healthcare workers, combating burnout, and thriving in the new era of medicine.

Department of Musical Theatre

Assistant Professor Malcolm Tulip guides the Department of Musical Theatre students in this expressionist approach to one of Shakespeare’s best-known romantic comedies. What might appear at first look to be a romantic game is at its roots a test of binary gender assignations and expectations, made all the more interesting by the challenge of depicting romance when your actors must stay 6 feet apart.
