SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Income Taxes: What Graduate Students Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:If you’ll work on campus\, start an internship\, or have a part-time job\, you’ll likely fill out withholding forms when you’re hired. These forms tell your employer how much federal/state income tax to take out of each paycheck. Withholding forms are important:\n\nToo little withheld means you could owe money at tax time (and nobody wants a “welcome to adulthood” bill).\n\nToo much withheld means you might get a refund\, but it also means you lent the government money all year.\n\nLearning the basics now helps you choose sensible withholding settings and adjust early—before it becomes a problem.\n\nThis virtual session will break down income taxes from withholding through basic filing information so that you can ensure accurate withholding now before end of the year surprises.\n\nReady to keep building your graduate school toolkit? Visit the Grad School 101 Canvas Portal to explore more workshops\, resources\, and practical guidance designed to help you thrive during graduate school.\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact rackhampdeworkshops@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rebuilding Democracy
DESCRIPTION:As the country heads into the 2026 midterm elections\, the University of Michigan welcomes journalist Osita Nwanevu\, contributing editor at The New Republic and columnist at The Guardian\, for a public conversation with Elizabeth Anderson\, the John Dewey Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy.\n\nThe evening centers on Nwanevu's new book\, The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding\, which argues that America's democratic troubles run deeper than any single election. The real problem\, Nwanevu contends\, lies in institutions that were never designed to let majorities govern\, and in an economy that keeps power far from ordinary people.\n\nAnderson\, one of the country's most influential political philosophers\, brings her own work on democracy\, equality\, and the workplace to the exchange. Together they take up the questions this election season keeps surfacing. Who really holds power in America? Why do so many people feel unheard\, and what would it take to build a democracy worthy of the name?\n\nThe conversation is free and open to students\, faculty\, and the broader Ann Arbor community\, with time for audience questions.\n\nSchedule\n\nFriday\, October 9\, 2026 at Ross School of Business\, Room TBD\n\n5:30 pm    Doors open\, light refreshments and Literati book sales in the lobby.\n6:00 pm    The program begins\, including questions and answers at the end. \n7:30 pm    Refreshments and book signing / sales in the lobby until 8:00 pm.\n\n\nSponsors and Partners\n\nU-M Department of Philosophy\; Energy Club at Ross\; Rackham Graduate School\; Poverty Solutions\; Business+Impact at Ross\; Wallace House\; Institute for the Humanities\; U-M Department of History\; U-M Department of English Language & Literature\; Ford School of Public Policy\; Center for Positive Organizations\; Center for Political Studies\; U-M Department of Political Science\; Michigan Law\; the Philosophy\, Politics\, and Economics Program\; Science\, Technology & Society\; Science\, Technology & Public Policy at the Ford School\; the Erb Institute\; Net Impact\; and U-M Department of Sociology.
