SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Make it Accessible: InDesign to PDF Best Practices
DESCRIPTION:Join this workshop to learn how to build accessibility into your Adobe InDesign documents from the start\, shifting from retroactive remediation to a “born accessible” workflow. We’ll briefly discuss key accessibility regulations and what they mean for your documents\, then cover design decisions that make a big impact\, such as color contrast\, font choice\, layout\, and content organization.\n\nThe core of this session will be a guided demonstration of InDesign features that support an accessible output\, including text box threading\, image anchors and alt text\, paragraph styles export options\, and much more. We’ll also show you how to export your content to a tagged PDF and provide resources for doing final checks and clean up in Acrobat.\n\nAs a participant\, you’ll receive access to a sample InDesign file to practice applying accessibility features along with additional resources for continued learning. There will also be time for Q&A. \n\nAmerican Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) captioning services will be provided. If you need additional accommodations to participate in this webinar\, please email the ADA Coordinator at ADAcoordinator@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:CCPS Photo Exhibition. This is the Place
DESCRIPTION:There are nearly one million refugees currently living in Poland. While the vast majority arrived from Ukraine\, Poland has also welcomed forcibly displaced people from Central Asia\, Latin America\, Africa\, and the Middle East. While refugees may be different\, they all search for a place that reminds them of home.\nIn *This Is The Place*\, a project supported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)\, Anna Liminowicz asked refugees to show what\, in Poland\, reminds them of their home. These portraits and the personalized confessions her subjects handwrote in their native languages tell poignant stories about safety and hope.\nAnna Liminowicz is an award-winning photographer and reportage journalist based in Warsaw\, Poland. A frequent contributor to the *The New York Times*\, *The Guardian*\, *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The Washington Post*\, *El Pais*\, *Der Spiegel* and UNHCR\, Liminowicz divides her time  between assignments and long-term personal projects\, mainly focusing on social issues like identity and loss\, and what uplifts her subjects. She has covered the war in Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees in Poland since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion\, and received the 2022 Grand Press Photo Award for her project “Too Precious to Leave Behind”.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:WCEE Exhibition. The Art of Memory\, Paintings by Felix Lembersky
DESCRIPTION:Felix Lembersky (1913-1970) was a painter\, theater stage designer\, teacher\, and leader of artistic groups. He began his career within the Soviet Avant-Garde in Ukraine before studying realist painting in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). Throughout his life he worked across realist and modernist styles that fell outside of Soviet-mandated Socialist Realism. His Execution: Babyn Yar series (ca. 1944-52) is the earliest known artistic representation of Babyn Yar\, a Holocaust massacre site in Kyiv. For political reasons\, these paintings\, along with his later nonconformist work\, were barred from exhibition in the Soviet Union.\n\nHaving witnessed two world wars\, the 1917 revolution\, and political terror\, Lembersky reflected on these experiences with candor while imbuing his work with hope and optimism. He was drawn to vulnerable\, neglected\, and marginalized people: children\, the elderly\, ethnic minorities\, and industrial workers subjected to harsh labor and dangerous conditions. Regardless of their circumstances\, Lembersky  portrayed his subjects with empathy\, dignity\, and admiration.  \n\n“For my father\, honesty and integrity meant more than anything else. Art was an expression of freedom\, individuality\, and personalized creativity\, without which it ceased to be art.”\n— Galina Lembersky\, daughter\n\nExhibit curated by Yelena Lembersky\, granddaughter of Felix Lembersky\, and Geneviève Zubrzycki\, WCEE Director.\n\nWorks on loan from the private collection of Yelena Lembersky.\n\nContact weisercenter@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.\n\nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Cosmo Whyte: Under the Quiet\, Beyond the Eye
DESCRIPTION:\n\nCurated by Srimoyee Mitra\n\nStamps Gallery kicks off the fall 2026 semester with an ambitious mid-career survey of interdisciplinary artist Cosmo Whyte. Born and raised in Jamaica\, Whyte completed a BFA from Bennington College and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. He is currently a faculty member at the School of the Arts and Architecture\, UCLA.\n\nThis exhibition brings together two central concerns that animate Whyte’s artistic practice: the archive\, both personal and public\, as a site of disturbance\; and migration as a lived experience of refuge\, refusal\, and reinvention. In Whyte’s work\, the archive is never static or neutral. Rather\, it is a contested space where official histories encounter memory\, inheritance\, and the fragments of stories carried across generations. His practice moves within this charged interstitial terrain\, between what has been recorded and what has been remembered\, between institutional knowledge and embodied experience. Whyte invites the viewer to consider the fluidity of geographic borders and layered cultural identities that have persisted despite societal unrest caused by racial and socio-economic hierarchies across generations. In an era of intensified border politics and renewed debates over national identity\, Whyte’s work offers a timely meditation on memory\, movement\, and belonging.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Reimagining Work as a Product Designed for Workers
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan’s Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics speaker for Fall 2026 is Dart Lindsley\, CEO of the work design company 11fold and host of Work for Humans. \n\nOctober 29\, 2026 | 4-6 p.m.\nFREE\, but registration is required.\nRackham Assembly Hall\n\nAbout Dart\nDart spent 25 years in transformation roles at Fortune 100 high-tech companies\, serving as a Strategic Advisor and Head of Global Process Excellence for People Operations at Google\, and previously as a Head of Business Architecture at Cisco Systems. He speaks on why we need to radically transform where we position employees in our business models — from inputs to customers. His 2024 HBR article \"Reimagining Work as a Product\" was nominated as best-of-issue and has gone on to multiple reprints.  Work for Humans has 200 episodes on which Dart speaks with diverse thinkers about how we might design better work. The show ranks in the top 3% among all podcasts and routinely peaks in the top 50 in the management category. Dart earned a 2024 Mira Fellowship for thinkers with radical reframes that can improve the world.  \n\nAbout the Talk\n\nEarly management theorists committed a category error when they classified employees as inputs to production: assets\, resources\, human capital. Dart argues that error haunts work today and offers a reframe. Employees are customers. Work is a product they choose to buy with their labor. Like any subscription product\, it has to be designed well enough that working customers choose to buy it each day. Building on his HBR article \"Reimagining Work as a Product\" (with co-author Eric Anicich)\, Dart shows how this reframe overturns norms\, power structures\, and how resources are allocated. For researchers it changes the questions\, the units of analysis\, the standards of evidence. He shares examples from organizations already living in the new world. He'll then use the reframe as a case study in something larger: what it takes to lead a paradigm shift\, and the tools that serve anyone striving to redesign institutions to solve the problems of living and working together.\n\nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Performance:Kylee Phillips
DESCRIPTION:Album release show!\n\nMichigan native singer/songwriter Kylee Phillips is releasing her first full length album - “Before I Am Invisible” - an ambitious collection of sensual\, articulate\, and unpretentiously therapeutic pop anthems. This long-awaited\, expertly percolated record couldn’t be more timely\, giving voice to the memories\, desires\, rages\, joys\, and insights of a deeply grounded woman who has found the one place she won’t be talked over.\n\nPhillips will be celebrating her album release with a full band release show\, bringing her songs to their intended sonic depth with dense guitar\, drum\, and synth arrangements. Fans of her beloved\, vulnerable listening room performances will finally get a taste of Phillips at her full potential\, full power and full volume.
