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 \u2018crown\u2019: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer\u201d started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. \u201cRedefining the Crown\u201d 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\u2019s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist\u2019s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"",

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\u2019s 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\u2014structures that have enabled plants to move through space and time for over 600 million years\u2014are 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\u2019s 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.", "occurrence_notes":"Mon-Fri 9 am to 5 pm or by appointment. serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"147884-21902209@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147884", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "campus_maps_id":"595", "room":"Connection Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Alumni","Art","ArtsEngine","ArtsRx","Biosciences","Culture","Ecology","Environment","Exhibition","Family","Free","Humanities","Nature","North Campus","Visual Arts"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147884_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":69, "first_occurrence":21902206 } , "135236-21876528": { "datetime_modified":"20260420T143132", "datetime_start":"20260507T090000", "datetime_end":"20260507T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-07", "date_end":"2026-05-07", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Enriching Scholarship 2026 Conference (Virtual Days)", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Enriching Scholarship 2026 Conference (Virtual Days)", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Conference \/ Symposium", "event_type_id":"5", "description":"Enriching Scholarship is free to all members of the U-M community.

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\u2019s degree in Art Education and a Master\u2019s 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.", "occurrence_notes":"Mon-Friday, 9 am to 5 pm or by appointment serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"147882-21902112@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/147882", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "campus_maps_id":"595", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["ArtsEngine","ArtsRx","Detroit","Exhibition","Family","Free","Humanities","Visual Arts"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/04\/event_147882_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":69, "first_occurrence":21902109 } , "147971-21902651": { "datetime_modified":"20260427T125240", "datetime_start":"20260507T100000", "datetime_end":"20260507T143000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-07", "date_end":"2026-05-07", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"14:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"3rd Year Student Seminar -

All of these approaches can significantly reduce the projection effects, following different strategies.

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\u2019t about arriving. It\u2019s about highlighting the moments that get us there. The doubt, discovery, and growth that shape who we are. It\u2019s 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\u201cThis exhibition is about my growth and process, but it\u2019s not singular. Many of my family members, including my mother, aren\u2019t 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\u2019ve come from, and sharing my journey with those who may not be able to witness it in person.

If you are an existing UM student, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test.\u00a0* The test assesses students\u2019 proficiency in Standard Arabic (fuSHa), NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge in Standard Arabic (fuSHa), feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101, 121, 201, 221, 401, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester, and Arabic 102, 122, 202, 222, 402, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.UM\u2019s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of Standard Arabic (fuSHa).If you have questions regarding the placement test, please contact the Arabic program director at, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"145815-21897845@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/145815", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Zoom\/Camvas", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/16636", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Sessions @ Michigan", "group_id":"4791", "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21897845 } , "143999-21894503": { "datetime_modified":"20260224T101438", "datetime_start":"20260507T120000", "datetime_end":"20260507T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-05-07", "date_end":"2026-05-07", "time_start":"12:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Thomas Paine\u2019s \u201cCommon Sense\u201d was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution.

Understanding the diverse lived experiences of people who use psychedelics is critical to inclusively advancing psychedelic-related public policy, harm reduction and clinical study design.\n\nMethods\nThe Global Psychedelic Survey (GPS) 2025 is an online multi-lingual cross-sectional international survey developed by over 80 academic collaborators and 40 non-government organizations. It gathered details on characteristics, psychedelic and other substance use, and associated self-reported outcomes among a global sample of people who use psychedelics. \n\nResults\nGPS 2025 recruited 9087 respondents (mean age: 41.8 years) from 105 countries. Most respondents had used psilocybin (87.3%), LSD (73.4%) and MDMA (71.9%). Personal growth was the most cited reason for use (85.7%), followed by recreation (61.5%), and general wellbeing (61.3%). We found significant regional differences in primary variables like access (e.g., more regulated access in Canada\/USA, online dealer access in Asia, spiritual leader access in Central\/South America), substances used (e.g., more nitrous oxide and ketamine use in Canada\/USA and Oceania, synthetic tryptamine use in Asia), and reasons for use (e.g., more use for mental and physical health in Canada\/US, boredom and productivity in Asia).\n\nDiscussion\nGPS 2025 extends our understanding of global psychedelic use, revealing a complex and heterogeneous global community that spans continents, languages, and traditions. Continued efforts to integrate community-based evidence with clinical research and international policy development will be essential to optimize the potential personal, public health and therapeutic benefits of psychedelics, while minimizing associated risks and harms.\n\nSpeaker\nPhilippe Lucas, PhD, is a cannabis and psychedelic researcher and a lifelong safe access advocate.
