SUMMARY:Exhibition:CAS Exhibit. Making Armenian Americans - Project Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project
DESCRIPTION:Making Armenian Americans  \nCurators: Michael Pifer (U-M| MES) and Kathryn Babayan (U-M|History)\nProject Save Photograph Archive/Archive Alive Project\n\nMaking Armenian Americans invites viewers into a moment of possibility in the early 20th century\, when Armenians fleeing violence at the end of the Ottoman Empire came to reinvent themselves in the promise of America. Drawn from the archives of Project Save\, these photographs capture different valences of American life\, as experienced\, performed\, and imagined by Armenian immigrants. From naturalization classes to festivals of nations\, from breaking new ground for churches to mundane tableaus of Thanksgiving and Christmas\, this range of photographs offers a glimpse of a community in the making\, one that sought to preserve a memory of its Ottoman past even while anticipating an American future.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:LACS Exhibition. Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador
DESCRIPTION:*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador*\nCurator: Ryan B. Morrison | Curatorial Assistant: Isabella H. de Lemos\n\nFebruary 2-26\, 2026\, International Institute Gallery\, 547 Weiser Hall\n\n*Back in Bahia: The Repatriation Journey of Afro-Brazilian Art from Detroit to Salvador* traces one of the largest repatriation efforts of Afro-Brazilian art to date. Led by the Detroit-based nonprofit Con/Vida: Popular Arts of the Americas\, the initiative is returning more than 750 works of Afro-Brazilian popular art to Salvador\, Bahia\, where they will enter the collection of the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (MUNCAB). Built over three decades through sustained relationships with artists\, families\, and workshops across Northeastern Brazil\, the collection reflects the creative ingenuity\, community memory\, and diasporic traditions that define Afro-Brazilian popular art.\n\nThis exhibition highlights selected works from the broader repatriation effort\, recognizing the artists and cultural stewards in Brazil and Michigan who made this historic return possible. Featured are woodcut prints by João Francisco Borges\, Nilo dos Santos\, Givanildo Francisco da Silva\, and José Miguel da Silva\, alongside examples of *literatura de cordel*—popular printed booklets that combine social commentary\, folklore\, poetry\, and song.\n\nFurther reading and details are available in Portuguese and English at https://myumi.ch/61G23.\n\nPresented by the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Institute for the Humanities

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lynn Galbreath Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Lynn Galbreath\, a Detroit based artist who grew up in Argentina\, is a former recipient of the Creative Artists’ Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and the Michigan Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council For The Arts. Galbreath’s work has been showcased locally\, nationally and internationally in over 20 solo/two person and over 100 group exhibitions.\n\nGalbreath has an M.F.A. from the James Pearson Duffy Department of Art\, Art History\, & Design\, Wayne State University\, Detroit\, MI\; and a B.F.A. with Permanent K-12 Certification from The Gwen Frostic School of Art\, Western MI University\, Kalamazoo\, MI. Galbreath has chaperoned eleven intensive\, immersive art experiences to Italy\, Spain\, France\, Belgium\, England\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Austria\, and the Czech Republic. Lynn is a retired Adjunct Associate Professor of Studio Art from Oakland University\, where she has been on the faculty of the Department of Art & Art History since 2000. Lynn has also instructed studio art and design at the College For Creative Studies\, University of Detroit Mercy — School of Architecture\, Macomb Community College\, Wayne State University\, and Bloomfield University School. Her work can be seen in the collections of Oakland University\, Wayne State University\, Detroit Receiving Hospital\, Children’s Hospital of Michigan\, Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and numerous private collections.\n\nThis exhibition consists of works from a variety of series created by Galbreath over the years: Telegraph\, Storyboard\, and Working Hard for a Living. Each series represents a unique exploration of themes\, techniques\, and social commentaries that reflect Galbreath’s artistic journey and concerns for the world.\n\nTelegraph explores the aesthetic visual weights and balances between harmony and content\, diving deep into how visual elements can convey messages and emotions. This series invites viewers to reflect on the way art communicates through its formal qualities\, as well as its narrative possibilities. The careful interplay of shapes\, colors\, and textures in these works prompts an examination of the viewer's perception and emotional response. By utilizing abstract forms\, Galbreath encourages an engagement that goes beyond mere observation\, seeking to provoke thought about how aesthetic choices influence understanding and meaning.\n\nOn the other hand\, Storyboard is a series of image-driven installation paintings that vary greatly in size\, showcasing Galbreath’s versatility and creative ingenuity. The titles of the works draw inspiration from the years spent creating visuals for TV commercials and public service announcements\, illustrating how commercial art often intertwines with societal messages. This series emphasizes the profound impact visual narratives have on consumer culture and public perception\, underscoring the artist's belief in the potency of imagery to shape narratives. The installations weave a complex fabric of storytelling that challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with media and the messages they consume daily.\n\nWorking Hard for a Living pays tribute to our sustainable and unsustainable resources\, shedding light on the individuals who toil diligently within these economic frameworks. This series highlights the hard-working suppliers of essential products\, including Farm Market Managers\, Fishmongers\, and Beach Vendors. By portraying these self-employed individuals\, often operating within informal economies\, Galbreath draws attention to the unique challenges they face. These individuals frequently contend with low\, inconsistent incomes\, long hours\, and sometimes exploitative conditions\, fostering a sense of solidarity with those who labor under such circumstances.\n\nFurthermore\, the series invites viewers to confront the broader societal structures that contribute to these inequities. Galbreath's work serves not only as a tribute but also as a call to action to consider how our consumer habits and economic policies affect the livelihoods of others. The layered narratives present in this series open a dialogue about the value we place on labor and the often unseen struggles that support our day-to-day lives. Through these explorations\, Galbreath establishes a multifaceted narrative that intertwines art with activism\, compelling audiences to engage both aesthetically and ethically with the realities depicted in the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Materia Magica: Materiality and Ritual in the Greco-Roman World
DESCRIPTION:View a diverse array of artifacts which were created to communicate with and call upon various unseen\, supernatural forces for aid and protection. While the objects on display are disparate at first glance\, ranging from lead tablets and amulets to papyrus and parchment leaves\, they all share a common thread: they have long been labeled as \"magical\" in traditional Western scholarship.\n\nHowever\, each of these artifacts is better understood on a broad spectrum of ancient ritual\, from subversive and transgressive acts to highly social and visible ones. The exhibit highlights the objects’ oft-overlooked material dimensions\, asking us to consider how qualities like color\, texture\, and weight shaped an object’s perceived efficacy and meaning. \n\nThis exhibit was a collaboration\, and displays items from several University of Michigan units: the library’s Special Collections Research Center and Papyrology Collection\, the Museum of Natural History\, and the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology. It was curated by Abigail Staub\, PhD Candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Mediterranean Art & Archaeology.\n\nAnna Bonnell Freidin\, U-M associate professor of history\, will talk about \"Healing the Womb: Uterine Amulets in the Roman World\" (https://events.umich.edu/event/142418) on January 16.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Terence Swafford Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases a decade of artist Terry Swafford’s work in Detroit\, marking the culmination of years spent composing scenes from the untamed edges of urban communities. These paintings serve as a visual record of Detroit’s transformation\, capturing humanity’s impact on the environment alongside nature’s persistent efforts to reclaim these spaces. As the city continues to change\, many of these depicted scenes are vanishing\, no longer visible in the landscape today. The significance of this documentation goes beyond mere nostalgia\; it invites viewers to reflect on the dynamic interplay between urban development and ecological restoration\, prompting a deeper understanding of how cities evolve while retaining traces of their history.\n\nSwafford’s paintings are created on location and in one session. The natural conditions\, including light\, shadow\, and atmosphere\, change dramatically from hour to hour and day to day\, forcing the artist to respond quickly and decisively. This approach\, born of a direct engagement with the subject and the fleeting nature of the scene\, along with his wet-on-wet technique\, keeps the work fresh and immediate. By immersing himself in the environment\, Swafford captures the diverse textures and vibrant colors that characterize Detroit’s landscape\, imbuing his work with a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each brushstroke conveys a commitment not only to visual accuracy but also to emotional resonance\, as he strives to encapsulate the spirit of a place that is both loved and contested.\n\nIn addition to these works\, the artist constantly sketches ideas both for paintings and for designing projects in his business. These sketches serve as visual language\, helping him clarify and refine his concepts before bringing them to life. They become a means to communicate ideas to clients and his crew and become an extension of his voice—an academic exercise rooted in artistic practice that fosters collaboration and innovation. The act of sketching also reflects his evolving relationship with the city\, as each drawing encapsulates fleeting moments of inspiration drawn directly from his surroundings. This duality of function—creating art for exhibition and conceptualizing designs for projects—demonstrates Swafford’s versatility and adaptability as an artist.\n\nSwafford received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and while at RISD\, he was part of the European Honors Program. His education not only honed his technical skills but also broadened his artistic perspective through exposure to varied artistic traditions. He has shown his work in both solo and group exhibitions in Chicago\, Kansas City\, and New York State. Each exhibition serves as a testament to his commitment to his craft and his ability to engage diverse audiences\, offering them an opportunity to explore the complex narratives woven into each landscape.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Tukilile Vaa
DESCRIPTION:Kaloki Nyamai is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi. His practice explores Kenya's histories and collective memory\, blending Kamba traditions with contemporary narratives. Using acrylic paint\, rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, his free-hanging immersive works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation. For his U-M project\, Nyamai will present one large unstretched piece and two framed paintings at the Institute for the Humanities\, as well as a second free-hanging work at the U-M Museum of Art.\n\nThe physicality of his complex constructions inspire wonder in the viewer. The works are vast in scale\, embedded with stories\, where past and future merge both poetically and conceptually. In each composition\, the artist proposes a powerful alternative to the flatness of singular narratives of Kenyan history and identity presented as the definitive postcolonial account. He likens the formal act of stitching to symbolically unifying a wounded or fractured community.\n\nNyamai founded the Kamene Cultural & Research Center in Nairobi\, a creative and collaborative hub dedicated to the preservation\, promotion\, and innovation of African cultural practices.\n\nAbout the artist:\nKaloki Nyamai (*1985 in Kitui\, Kenya) is a multidisciplinary artist working with installation\, painting\, and sculpture based in Nairobi. From an early age\, his mother introduced him to painting and taught him to draw\, fostering an ever-lasting interest in art throughout his life. He often finds inspiration in his grandmother’s stories of the Kamba people\, a Bantu ethnic group of eastern Kenya. Using materials like acrylic paint\, sisal rope\, photo transfers\, and stitched yarn\, Nyamai’s free-hanging pieces evoke the healing of historical wounds and a collective yearning for renewal. His works blur the boundaries between painting\, sculpture\, and installation\, creating cohesive\, immersive experiences where past\, present\, and future converge poetically.\n\nNyamai studied Interior Design at the Buruburu Institute Of Fine Arts (BIFA) and then pursued painting after working in other creative fields. His large-scale paintings and mixed-media installations intricately explore historical narratives\, examining their resonance in the present. Nyamai has shown his work across the globe in solo exhibitions at the Norval Foundation\, Cape Town (2024)\; James Cohan Gallery\, New York (2024)\; Galerie Barbara Thumm\, Berlin (2023 and 2022)\; SEPTIEME Gallery\, Paris (2019)\, and other venues. In 2023\, he featured part of his series Dining in Chaos in the “Unlimited” section at Art Basel in Basel. He has participated in group exhibitions and biennials\, most recently at the Sharjah Biennial 16\, Sharjah (2025)\; The Völklinger Hütte\, Völklingen (2024)\; the Kenyan Pavilion at the Venice Biennale\, Venice (2022)\; and the Dakar Biennale (2022). His works are part of numerous private and institutional collections around the world\, such as the Dallas Art Museum\, the Southern African Foundation for Contemporary Art\, and the Arthur Primas Museum.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Museums@Noon – Internships in Switzerland and West Africa
DESCRIPTION:From the Field to the Museum: Experiences at the Museum of Natural History of Bern (Patricia Torres-Pineda\, PhD student\, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology)\nMore than 60 million natural history specimens are housed in Swiss museums\, universities\, botanical gardens\, and other heritage institutions. Nationwide investment in storage\, databasing\, and policy development actively advances museomics\, digitization\, anti-racism initiatives\, and provenance research. As a result\, these collections are increasingly recognized as dynamic archives for phylogenetic and global change research\, rather than as static displays. Join me to reflect on my experiences in one of the most important natural history museums and collections of Switzerland.\n\nArt\, Labor\, and Landscape at MOWAA: Centering Production\, Environmental Knowledge\, & Community in Museum Interpretation (Timilehin Ayelagbe\, PhD student\, Anthropology)\nThis presentation reflects on my internship at the Museum of West African Art Edo (MOWAA)\, where I contributed to research\, interpretation\, and the curation of an exhibition. Drawing on both my MOWAA experience and my UM Museum Studies training\, I discuss exhibition-making by centering production processes\, environmental knowledge\, and community context rather than focusing only on finished objects. The talk highlights how archaeological and ecological perspectives shaped my curatorial decisions and how this experience deepened my understanding of emerging museum practice in West Africa.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Multi-modal Representation Learning for Contact-rich and Dexterous Manipulation
DESCRIPTION:Co-Chairs: Dmitry Berenson and Nima Fazeli\n\nAbstract:\nMy PhD research focuses on representation learning with force and touch for contact rich\, dexterous robot manipulation. Recent robot learning has made major progress in vision and language\, but those modalities alone cannot fully capture physical interaction in robot manipulation tasks. Tasks like cleaning\, assembly\, and assistive care require robots to reason about contact and force\, especially in the presence of sensor noise and visual occlusion. My work develops learning based methods that integrate force and tactile sensing into robot learning and control. I build object centric multi-modal (vision and touch) representations to infer object state and contact under noise and occlusion\, design contact aware planning and control frameworks with learned dynamics to regulate interaction that effectively integrated with language modality\, and develop shared tactile representations that align human and robot touch signals for cross embodiment policy transfer. Overall\, this dissertation studies how force\, touch\, and contact can improve robotic dexterity in contact rich manipulation.\n\nZoom:\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/95094568449\nMeeting ID: 950 9456 8449\nPasscode: 837399

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:ACUM CES: Findings from a Survey Characterizing Advisors' and Coaches' Experiences and Perceptions with Validating Approaches
DESCRIPTION:The Student Success Initiative (SSI) coming out of the Office for the Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education seeks to create data-informed change that promotes the holistic success of students at the University of Michigan. Recognizing the importance that advising and coaching play in students’ academic journeys\, one focus of the SSI is to enhance advising and coaching at U-M for both students and advisors and coaches\, such as through the implementation of training on a validation approach to advising and coaching (with training planned to begin in Sp/Su 2026). To support these efforts\, we—Dr. Solaire Finkenstaedt-Quinn (Assessment and Evaluation Specialist for the SSI) and Natalie Drobny and Gray Strain (Evaluation Advising Fellows)—are working to understand the current advising landscape at U-M and how it shifts over time as validation training is implemented. During this CES\, we will begin by presenting our findings from a survey that characterizes U-M advisors’ and coaches’ knowledge and use of approaches that align with validation theory and the mission and framework developed by the Academic Advising & Coaching Team. To close off the session\, we hope to engage advisors and coaches in a conversation about how our findings can be used to inform changes in advising and coaching at U-M.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:HEP-Astro Seminar | Dark Energy Dynamics\, Spatial Curvature\, Neither\, or Both?
DESCRIPTION:Observations over the last two and half decades have persuaded cosmologists that (as yet only indirectly detected) dark energy is by far the main component of the energy budget of the current universe. I review a few simple dark energy models\, including the currently-standard ΛCDM cosmological model\, and compare their predictions to observational data\, to derive cosmological parameter constraints and to study consistency of different data sets. I summarize observational constraints on dark energy dynamics and spatial curvature\, two parameters that extend away from the time-independent cosmological constant dark energy and flat spatial hypersurfaces of the standard ΛCDM model. I also summarize observational constraints on the Hubble constant. I conclude with a list of my favorite open cosmological questions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RCGD Seminar Series on Social Connection: Chris Dunkel Schetter
DESCRIPTION:Chris Dunkel Schetter\nUCLA\, RCGD\n\nFeb. 23\, 2026\n\nABOUT THE SERIES\n\nThe Winter 2026 RCGD Seminar Series: The Ties that Bond: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Social Connection\n\nThis seminar series brings together senior and early-career scholars to explore fundamental questions about how we connect\, protect\, and care. Talks will highlight lifespan and comparative approaches to understanding social connection\, physiological implications of social and race-related stressors\, and diverse conceptualizations of what it means to belong—from romantic and parent–child relationships to group and societal dynamics to technology-mediated interactions.\n\nRobin Edelstein\, Professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan and an affiliate of the Research Center for Group Dynamics\, has organized this series. She will introduce the series at this kick-off event that doubles as a faculty meeting.\n\nThe first seminar in the series will be Jan. 26. Join us on Mondays to learn about the biological\, social\, and developmental pathways that shape human connection.\n\nThese events are held Mondays from 3:30 to 5.\nIn person: ISR Thompson 1430\, unless otherwise specified.\nOrganized by Robin Edelstein\nAs permissions allow\, seminars are later posted to our YouTube playlist.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The ‘First Proof’ Experiment
DESCRIPTION:During the first part of this talk\, we will provide some background on how modern generative AI chatbot systems work\, focusing on the setting of answering math questions. We then focus on the current state of “AI and math.”  While it is clear that AI systems are at least helpful assistants for some parts of research mathematics\, their ability to answer research-level math questions without an expert in the loop is less clear.  To assess this\, we are running a community experiment called “First Proof”\, where we have shared a set of ten math questions which have arisen naturally in the research process of the authors but which had not appeared publicly until February 7\, 2026.   Answers to the questions are known to the authors of the questions\, but will remain encrypted for one week\, while the experiment is running.  We will discuss the set-up and initial outcomes from the experiment\, and finally discuss next steps for further assessments.\n\nAbout the speaker: Rachel Ward is a professor of mathematics and holds a distinguished professorship in Data Science at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at UT Austin.  From 2023-2025\, she was on leave as Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research.  From 2017-2018 she was a visiting Researcher at Facebook AI Research.  Her research interests include optimization\, randomized numerical linear algebra\, theoretical machine learning\, and AI + Math.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Furious Harvests
DESCRIPTION:A poetry reading by Alex Averbuch from his new collection \"Furious Harvests\" (Harvard UP\, trans. from Ukrainian by Oksana Maksymchuk and Max Rosochinsky)\, in conversation with Benjamin Paloff. \"Furious Harvests\" brings readers to Averbuch’s homeland in eastern Ukraine and weaves voices from past and present wars\, tracing uprooted lives shaped by capture\, deportation\, and violence\, alongside the lingering presence of people and objects left behind in occupied territories. Drawing on family archives and mementos\, the poems assemble testimonies to the region’s complex histories\, WWII forced labor\, and the Holocaust. In a bilingual edition that mixes dialects\, registers\, and voices\, poetry speaks in rage and longing\, pressing toward an uneasy reconciliation of self and other.\n\nBranch 50 and the UM Ukrainian Students Club will follow the program with a candlelight vigil leaving the Michigan League at 5:45 pm for the U-M Diag for a moment of remembrance\, followed by a brief procession to Burton Tower\, where the Ukrainian National Anthem will be played on the carillon.\n\n5:45–6:00 pm Candlelight Vigil\, U-M Diag\n6:00–6:15 pm Procession to Burton Tower Carillon

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:GLNT: Finiteness of heights in isogeny classes of motives
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Using integral $p$-adic Hodge theory\, Kato and Koshikawa define a generalization of the Faltings height of an abelian variety to motives defined over a number field. Assuming the adelic Mumford-Tate conjecture\, we prove a finiteness property for heights in the isogeny class of a motive\, where the isogenous motives are not required to be defined over the same number field. This expands on a result of Kisin and Mocz for the Faltings height in isogeny classes of abelian varieties.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Mixed Ehrhart theory and Alexandrov–Fenchel-type inequalities
DESCRIPTION:Ehrhart theory studies the polynomial function that counts lattice points in integer dilates of a lattice polytope. This talk will focus on a natural mixed extension: counting lattice points in Minkowski sums of several scaled lattice polytopes. This produces a multivariate polynomial whose coefficients in the binomial basis are known as discrete mixed volumes\, which generalize the classical mixed volumes in the case of lattice polytopes. Mixed volumes famously satisfy the Alexandrov–Fenchel inequalities\, which has been used to prove various log-concavity results in combinatorics. A natural question is whether analogous inequalities hold for the discrete mixed volumes. I will present an asymptotic Alexandrov–Fenchel–type inequality valid for general families of lattice polytopes\, and an exact inequality in the case of coordinate simplices\, where the proof relies on an exceptional version of the Hirzebruch–Riemann–Roch theorem on the permutohedral variety due to Berget–Eur–Spink–Tseng. We will also see that such inequalities fail in general.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Semiclassical Soliton Ensembles for the Intermediate Long Wave and Korteweg-de Vries Equations
DESCRIPTION:Semiclassical soliton ensembles (SSE) in the small dispersion limit are initially coherent collections of many solitons that well-approximate some initial profile. Evolving forward in time\, the profile will eventually undergo wave breaking\, shedding the solitons and generating a dispersive shock wave. We study this phenomenon for two PDE. The first SSE\, for the intermediate long wave equation\, is constructed to approximate general smooth Klaus-Shaw initial data. We first conduct a heuristic WKB approximation to determine the approximate scattering data and then rigorously study the inverse scattering problem using the methods of Lax and Levermore. We show the initial condition is recovered in the limit and the solution up until wave breaking approaches that of Invicid Burgers' equation in an L^2 sense. The second SSE is the sech^2 initial condition for the Korteweg-de Vries equation. Inverse scattering is done via a Reimann-Hilbert problem and the method of nonlinear steepest descent is employed. This project is joint work with K. Schmidt (University of Central Florida) and R. Buckingham (University of Cincinnati).

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Working across the aisle in the Michigan Senate - with Senators Chang and Damoose
DESCRIPTION:Michigan State Senators Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit) and John Damoose (R-Harbor Spring) join the Ford School for a \"Conversation Across Differences\"\, which will bring together political leaders from across the aisle to an open forum that explores common ground. In these polarized days\, these conversations are more important than ever. \n\nThe senators have been examples of the ways in which the two sides of the Senate can cooperate and get things done – concerning water safety\, RXKids\, and other issues. The community will benefit from hearing about the ways in which they have been able to collaborate.\n\nOf course\, there are many issues on which they don't agree\, and a civil airing of views is equally important in the current hyperbolic communications environment.\n\nSpeaker bios:\n\nSenator Stephanie Chang is the first Asian American woman elected to the Michigan legislature. She worked as a community organizer in Detroit for nearly a decade before serving two terms in the Michigan House of Representatives and then as the Democratic Floor Leader for her first term in the Senate. She is currently serving her second term in the Michigan Senate and is the Senate Democratic Policy and Steering Chair.\n\nSen. Chang has led on air quality and environmental justice\, criminal justice reforms\, affordable\, safe drinking water\, and immigrants' rights issues. She has passed bipartisan legislation on a range of issues including sexual assault education and prevention\, an address confidentiality program for survivors of domestic violence\, the COVID-19 water shutoff moratorium\, female genital mutilation\, nitrous oxide \"whip-its\"\, reentry services for wrongfully convicted individuals who were exonerated\, improving Michigan's maritime economy\, support of community crisis response to mental health emergencies\, and establishing Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution. She is proud to have helped secure a historic community benefits agreement for Southwest Detroit residents near the Gordie Howe International Bridge and is active in her district advocating for the community's needs. She cofounded the Asian Pacific American Legislative Caucus in Michigan and served as the chair of the Progressive Women's Caucus in 2017-18.\n\nShe served as state director for NextGen Climate Michigan\, alumni engagement and evaluation coordinator for the Center for Progressive Leadership in Michigan\, deputy director for the Campaign for Justice and as an organizer for Michigan United/One United Michigan. She also worked as a community engagement coordinator for the James and Grace Lee Boggs School and assistant to Grace Lee Boggs\, an activist\, writer\, and speaker. The senator is a co-founder of Asian and Pacific Islander American Vote-Michigan and Rising Voices\; she also serves on the board of the Southwest Detroit Community Justice Center.\n\nChang earned her bachelor's degree in psychology and master's degrees in public policy and social work from the University of Michigan. She lives in Detroit with her husband\, Sean Gray\, and two young daughters.\n\nSenator John Damoose graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in political science in 1994\,  and immediately secured a job at the Christian Broadcasting Network in Virginia Beach\, Virginia. While there\, he learned his craft working on the 700 Club television program\, and ultimately wrote and produced a two-hour documentary on the story of America called \"Victory in Spite of All Terror.\" \n\nIn 1997\, John co-authored a book with Dr. Bill Bright\, the founder and president of Campus Crusade for Christ. The book explored the founding principles of the United States and was ultimately hand-delivered to every member of the U.S. Congress.\n\nAfter working with his family to launch several non-profit organizations and rekindle the Religious Heritage of America Foundation\, John and his father started 45 North Productions in the year 2000. Over the course of the next twenty years\, this pursuit would lead John to co-author and produce nine national television specials on themes like Arlington National Cemetery\, the Medal of Honor\, military families\, NASA\, and many others. John and his father were contracted by the Department of Defense to produce the official documentary celebrating the opening of the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial. Both John and his father had been in the Pentagon when the plane struck seven years earlier. He also wrote\, directed and produced \"The New American Road.\" The three-part series was commissioned by Ford Motor Company and tells the powerful story of what many believe is the quintessential American industry.\n\nFor nearly 25 years\, John has been a close associate of the organization that runs the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington\, D.C. In recent years\, he has served as the executive director of Building America's Tomorrow — an organization that launched a series of initiatives dedicated to rebuilding America's manufacturing workforce and encouraging career and technical education programs.

SUMMARY:Performance:Chicago Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:The Chicago Symphony Orchestra returns to Hill Auditorium for the first time in more than a decade\, under the leadership of Zell Music Director Designate Klaus Mäkelä.\n\nMäkelä made his thrilling UMS debut with Orchestra de Paris in March 2024\, just a few weeks before he was appointed to the Chicago post. He conducts Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7\, a work written in 1812 during the Napoleonic era with Beethoven conducting its premiere at a charity concert for wounded soldiers\, and Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique\, a revolutionary work composed just a few years after Beethoven’s death.\n\nBerlioz composed the work when he was just 27 years old\, creating a dreamlike\, hallucinatory world that mythologizes the fevered dreams of an artist who has poisoned himself with opium in the throes of unrequited love. Inspired by his own obsessive love for the actress Harriet Smithson\, who ultimately became his wife\, Berlioz uses radical orchestration\, bold narrative\, and psychological depth to trace the protagonist’s descent from infatuation into delusion and nightmare in this thrilling and imaginative score.\n\nLooking for free student tickets? All U-M undergraduate students are eligible to receive a FREE ticket to a UMS performance per academic year through the Bert’s Ticket program (a $20 value)!
