This year we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.\n\nItems on display are from the Joseph A. Labadie Collection\, which documents social protest movements and radical history.\n\nHOURS\nSunday 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday 9am-8pm\nFriday 9am-4pm\nSaturday 11am-5pm UID:147925-21902544@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/147925 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,History,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room (1st floor) CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260701T110918 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T113000 SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Bookworm #95 - Author Conversation with Jessica M. Lepler\, \"Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions\" DESCRIPTION:Historian and author of \"Canal Dreamers: The Epic Quest to Connect the Atlantic and Pacific in the Age of Revolutions\,\" Jessica M. Lepler walks us through the failed idea to build the world’s first interoceanic canal.\n\nIn the 1820s\, there was a little-known dream to unite the world by building a waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. As Spanish American nations declared independence and new canals intensified US expansion and British industrialization\, many imagined the construction of an interoceanic canal as predestined.\n\nAlthough the idea of literally changing the world by connecting the oceans proved too revolutionary for the Age of Revolution\, the quest itself changed history. Canal dreams prompted political transformations\, financial crisis\, recognition of new countries\, concern about climate change\, and more. Full of adventure\, corruption\, far-reaching consequences\, and present-day parallels\, Lepler’s absorbing narrative cuts through two centuries\, revealing that dreams do not need to come true to make history.\n\nThis episode is sponsored by an anonymous Bookworm patron.\n\nThe Clements Bookworm is a free monthly webinar series featuring guests discussing topics in American history.

First\, we will show how explainable deep learning techniques can be used to identify the flow features that are truly responsible for key turbulent processes in wall-bounded flows. By systematically interrogating trained neural networks\, we uncover the most influential coherent structures driving momentum transport and drag. Our results reveal that classically studied structures (while important) provide only a partial and sometimes misleading perspective\, motivating a more data-driven and physics-aware view of turbulence organization. Building on these insights\, we will demonstrate how deep reinforcement learning can be used to actively control turbulent flows by targeting the dynamically relevant structures identified through explainability. This approach achieves over 30% drag reduction in canonical wall-bounded turbulence and extends naturally to more complex configurations\, including turbulent wings\, highlighting the scalability of learning-based control strategies. Finally\, we will introduce a foundation-model-based framework for accelerated design\, optimization and scientific discovery. By learning compact\, interpretable latent representations of high-dimensional flow physics\, these models (combined with agentic-AI systems) enable rapid exploration of design spaces\, causal reasoning and closed-loop optimization\, bridging the gap between expensive simulations\, control and engineering decision making. Together\, these results illustrate how explainable and agentic AI are becoming essential for turbulence physics\, flow control and next-generation engineering design.\n\n\nContact: Silas Alben UID:148874-21905036@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/148874 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Applied Mathematics,Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260617T061535 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260529T010000 SUMMARY:Sporting Event:Volleyball vs Texas Tech DESCRIPTION:Volleyball vs Texas Tech UID:148464-21904337@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/148464 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Athletics,Athletics - Volleyball LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260609T121609 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T203000 SUMMARY:Performance:\"Changing Channels\" - Grad Student Dance Concert DESCRIPTION:Master of Fine Arts in Dance candidate Lauren Blair Smith presents dance works generated during the first year of the MFA program.

Some might even call him a “tour de force” as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. \n\nThe GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases\, I’m About To Come Alive\, The Sound Of A Million Dreams\, I’m A Fire and Fighter\, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. This led to the departure of the only record company home he’d ever known\, MCA Nashville\, where he’d formed friendships that endure even now. Through dealing with his own journey of mental health and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be\,” Nail began making his most “organic” work to date\, David Nail & The Well Ravens\, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh\, Mother\, a reflective piece of work. Of the title track\, Rolling Stone noted that “the song creeps in like a sunrise — quiet\, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail’s powerful vocals at first. But then it slowly builds to something more massive and majestic.” That release was followed by Bootheel 2020 and Bootheel 2021\, projects dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail released an EP titled Best of Me in 2023 and the title track has seen heavy press support and country radio airplay. 2024 brought more touring than ever\, two great single releases “If I Could Call” and “Why” featuring Aubrie Sellers. \n\nNail plans on releasing the start of an excitingly different and elevated album project this year leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words\, “My philosophy has always been\, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.” UID:147966-21902634@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/147966 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mutotix,Ark LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260709T121642 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260918T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Symphony Band DESCRIPTION:Legendary conductor and educator H. Robert Reynolds served as the 6th Director of Bands at the University of Michigan from 1975 to 2001\, and then as the conductor of the University of Southern California's Wind Ensemble for another two decades after his retirement from U-M. He led the Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings for much of its history and became known around the world for his expressive interpretations and as a champion of music for wind band. Maestro Reynolds passed away in January of this year at the age of 91\, and the University of Michigan Symphony Band pays tribute to his enduring and incomparable legacy in a program filled with some of his favorite classics alongside music that his leadership and creativity brought into our world.\n\nJason Fettig\, conductor\nCraig Kirchhoff\, guest conductor\nCarl St. Clair\, guest conductor\nJennifer Hepp\, graduate student conductor\nTimothy McAllister\, saxophone solo (Santos)\n\nPROGRAM\n*Hill Song\, No. 2*\, Percy Grainger \nFirst Suite in E-flat\, Gustav Holst \n*Lullaby for Kirsten*\, Leslie Bassett\n*Fervent is my Longing*\, J.S.
