SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Debbie Thompson Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Debbie Thompson works predominantly in clay and draws inspiration from the natural world\, which she frequently references in her work. Her interest in ceramics began in high school when she took classes at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills\, Michigan. She later pursued her passion at the University of Michigan School of Art and Design\, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She also holds a Master of Arts from Eastern Michigan University and has completed post-graduate studio coursework at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Maryland Institute College of Art\, Rhode Island School of Design\, and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.\n\nThompson taught visual art in the Ann Arbor Public Schools for 34 years and has also taught at the University of Michigan School of Education and Washtenaw Community College. She exhibits her work both locally and nationally and was a member of the Clay Gallery. She continues her practice in her home studio and at the Potters Guild in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. She is a member of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts and the Michigan Ceramic Art Association. Her work is included in the permanent collection of the International Dinnerware Museum.\n\nThompson’s work has been inspired by the natural world since childhood. Although she initially studied biology in college\, she later shifted her focus to visual art. The textures\, colors\, and forms in her pieces are drawn directly from nature.\nSeeds—structures that have enabled plants to move through space and time for over 600 million years—are central to her recent work. They are vital to the continuation of plant life\, and therefore to human survival.\n\nIn this exhibition\, Thompson explores the unseen structures of seeds as revealed through electron microscopy. These images highlight the intricate beauty and ingenuity of nature\, which she interprets through her wall-mounted ceramic sculptures.\n\nAt a time when our planet and its ecosystems face increasing threats\, Thompson’s work serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world. Recognizing the beauty and significance of these often-unseen forms is a crucial first step toward protecting the life systems on which we all depend.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melissa Jones Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Jones works across multiple mediums\, consistently centering the human figure\, texture\, and elements of the natural world—such as weathered surfaces\, bones\, and rust. These recurring interests create a unifying thread throughout her work\, regardless of medium.\nShe creates in both two and three dimensions\, including sculpture\, painting\, and assemblage. Oil painting is her preferred medium\, allowing her to work slowly in layered processes and achieve a wide range of nuanced effects.\n\nJones’ work is primarily figurative\, often narrative and autobiographical—though not strictly self-portraiture. Her figures are intended to evoke emotional responses that are less commonly found in landscape or other painting genres. She draws inspiration from the visual poetry of the human form\, finding beauty in subtle details: the turn of a wrist\, the curve of a spine\, or the shadow along a collarbone. She is captivated by how light illuminates the skin and how shadow defines form\, embracing the challenge of capturing this complexity in paint. Beyond physical representation\, her work also explores psychological dimensions\, aiming to convey mood and emotional depth.\n\nHer technique\, in both painting and sculpture\, is highly detailed\, realistic\, and developed gradually over time through layered processes. At times\, her work enters the realm of magical realism. While deeply personal\, her narratives remain intentionally ambiguous\, inviting viewers to interpret the imagery through their own perspectives and experiences.\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit\, Jones studied at Wayne State University\, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education and a Master’s degree in Art Therapy. She previously worked as an art educator in the West Bloomfield School District and has exhibited professionally throughout the Detroit area since 2006\, receiving numerous awards. In addition\, she served as a board member and exhibition committee member for the Detroit Artists Market.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elsa Olander - Becoming: My Journey Through Stamps
DESCRIPTION:Becoming is the senior thesis project of Stamps School of Art & Design student Elsa Olander. It is a multidisciplinary exhibition that traces her artistic evolution from high school student in Kenya to graduating college senior in the U.S. It explores personal growth through material experimentation\, identity formation\, and cultural hybridity. The work features 2-D\, 3-D\, and 4-D work\; each piece serving as a visual artifact of transformation.\n\nBecoming isn’t about arriving. It’s about highlighting the moments that get us there. The doubt\, discovery\, and growth that shape who we are. It’s a reminder to learn from the past and plan for the future\, but most importantly to live in the present. We become who we are not just through all the choices we make\, but through the people we surround ourselves with\, the information we take-in\, and what we choose to believe or question.\n\n“This exhibition is about my growth and process\, but it’s not singular. Many of my family members\, including my mother\, aren’t able to attend my graduation due to the ongoing visa ban affecting several African countries. This show is my way of honoring their presence in my life\, acknowledging where I’ve come from\, and sharing my journey with those who may not be able to witness it in person. My hope is that viewers see these works not just as a portrait of my evolution\, but as an invitation to reflect\, relate\, and reimagine their own paths of becoming.” \n-Elsa Olander\n\nBecoming: My Journey Through Stamps\nExhibition Dates: April 30 – May 22\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, April 30\, 5:30 – 8 p.m. (RSVP Recommended)\nDuderstadt Center Gallery

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SRC Seminar Series Presents: The Use of AI for Academic Testing: How Much Can We Trust the Results?
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/s/97124958569\nMeeting ID: 971 2495 8569\nPasscode: 145795\n\nAbstract\nAI methodology has been proposed and investigated for use for aspects of academic testing that are expensive and time consuming such as test item development and scoring of open-ended responses. This presentation will summarize current applications of AI and these areas and highlight areas of concern for these uses. The focus of the presentation is on the accuracy of the results obtained from AI applications and methods used for obtaining measures of accuracy. The presentation is guided by standards for educational and psychological tests that have been developed by AERA\, NCME\, and APA\, and those produced by the International Test Commission (ITC). This is a very quickly changing area of development and investigation. Some ideas will be presented on the types of data that should be collected to document the types of AI procedures that are used and the quality of the results of the applications.\n\nBiography\nMark Reckase is a University Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University where he has taught courses in IRT\, large scale assessment\, and advanced psychometric methods.  He has published in the areas of IRT\, CAT\, value-added modeling\, and setting standards on educational tests.  He has recently written a book on the theory of standard setting. Professor Reckase has been the president of NCME and the International Association for Computerized Adaptive Testing (IACAT)\, the vice president of Division D of AERA\, and the secretary of the Psychometric Society.  He has served as editor of the Journal of Educational Measurement and Applied Psychological Measurement.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | The progenitor’s impact on globular cluster stellar stream models
DESCRIPTION:Dynamically cold stellar streams from globular cluster progenitors are important probes of the Milky Way’s dark matter\; their kinematic heating\, for example\, could help constrain the physical properties of dark matter subhalos. Direct N-body simulations are considered the ground truth\, but are often an impractical choice due to the computational expense. Particle-spray methods successfully produce stream models very quickly\, but are reliant on making certain approximations about escape physics. We have bridged the gap between these approaches with KRIOS\, a new basis-expansion N-body code. In this talk\, I will provide a high-level review of KRIOS’ technical details\, discuss preliminary results on streams from spinning progenitors\, and address the potential complementarity between KRIOS and the particle-spray distribution function developed here in Ann Arbor.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Financial Empowerment Initiative
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive workshop\, participants will get curious about where their money beliefs come from\, hear from their peers about what they think about money\, and learn how to rewrite a money story that helps start to create a healthier relationship with money. \n \nThis event is the first of five for the Financial Empowerment Initiative. Find the full schedule of events. Participants are welcome to attend one or all events\, as able.\n \nThe Financial Empowerment Initiative (FEI) was developed by CEW+ as a series of workshops that teaches participants to understand the psycho-social and emotional factors impacting financial decision-making behaviors and the alignment of those behaviors with long-term goals. The FEI workshops focus on participants developing a better understanding of their own financial decision-making processes\, by exploring the underlying psychological\, social\, and generational roots that underlie their individual financial choices\, to become equipped with the self-knowledge to be empowered to take charge of their own financial well-being.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Fueling for endurance – from keto to carbs!
DESCRIPTION:Day: Tuesday\, May 5\, 2026\nTime:  7 pm to 8 pm\nLocation: U-M Chemistry Bldg.\, Room 1400\n\nDr. Burke is a sports dietitian with 45 years of experience in the education and counselling of elite athletes.  She worked at the Australian Institute of Sport for thirty years\, first as Head of Sports Nutrition and then as Chief of Nutrition Strategy and now serves as Chair in Sports Nutrition in the Mary MacKillop Institute of Health Research at Australian Catholic University in Melbourne.\n \nTalk Summary: Carbohydrates have powered endurance performance for a century—from early race-day sugar use to modern glycogen-loading and sports nutrition products. Yet the rise of ketogenic/LCHF approaches has sparked debate and confusion for athletes and coaches. This session cuts through the hype to explore what the evidence says\, why context matters\, and how to build a more nuanced\, “unifying” approach to fueling endurance performance.\n\nRegister at:  https://tinyurl.com/Louise-Burke

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Mind Matters: AI and Mental Health Risks
DESCRIPTION:From schools and workplaces to the phones in our pockets\, AI tools are everywhere. As more people use generative AI tools like ChatGPT\, Claude\, and others in their daily lives\, concerns are rising among mental health and technology researchers about how these tools can affect the way we think and feel—not necessarily for the better. \n\nJoin us as experts from the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry and School of Information discuss the risks of using AI tools and chatbots when it comes to our mental health and wellbeing. They will break down how this technology can negatively impact our mental health\, what mental health workers are seeing with their patients in the real world\, and what we can all do to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe. By avoiding the pitfalls of these technologies\, we can prevent these tools from hijacking our attention in unproductive ways that hold us back from living our lives fully.\n\nThis event is brought to you in partnership with the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.\n\nWebinar on May 5\, 7:00pm - 8:30pm\nRegister here: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sYcOP0pkTz-kK99SnYbnEw#/registration\n\nSpeakers:\n1.

SUMMARY:Performance:Mama's Broke
DESCRIPTION:“raw\, rootsy and alive - uplifting and a joy to hear” –Folk Radio UK\n\nMama's Broke is a powerful duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy. Although highly influenced by their Canadian roots\, Lisa and Amy are based out of nowhere and everywhere. Their two strong voices blend to create haunting harmonies\, while they artfully juggle fiddle\, banjo\, guitar and mandolin\, and incorporate traditional dance and foot percussion into their performance. Their original -and often dark- compositions push the boundaries of tradition and the constraints of genre.  Drawing from old-time\, Quebecois\, blues\, punk\, celtic\, balkan and doom metal\, they create a soundscape that is both familiar and new.
