They are used by millions of birds each year to breed\, rest\, refuel and overwinter. Human communities also value these areas for subsistence\, cultural\, commercial\, and recreational activities. Despite the benefits they provide\, estuarine habitats are being lost at accelerating rates.\n\nTo address this need\, a one-year catalyst project connected geographically distinct reserves in the Pacific/Western United States with shared migratory bird species and a common interest in elevating the role of Indigenous Knowledge and management practices in coastal conservation. The project – whose team included five reserves\, their local management and cultural partners\, and Pacific Birds Habitat Joint Venture – explored applications and built on existing frameworks for weaving together conventional science and Indigenous Knowledge\, research\, and cultural values to enhance stewardship of estuarine habitats and coastal watersheds. In this webinar\, project team members will share key workshop takeaways\, project outcomes and ripple effects\, and future plans to continue this work.

Sara has been consistently building her visual vocabulary and we are excited to see where she will go next.” \nEnvision: The 2025 Michigan Artist Initiative is curated by Srimoyee Mitra with the assistance of Joe Rohrer.

She was Alexander Hamilton’s “saucy” sister-in-law\, and the heart of Thomas Jefferson’s “charming coterie” of artists and salonnières in Paris. Her transatlantic network of important friends spanned the political spectrum of her time and place\, and her astute eye and brilliant letters kept them well informed.\n\nA woman of great influence in a time of influential women (Catherine the Great and Marie-Antoinette were contemporaries)\, Angelica was at the red-hot center of American history at its birth: in Boston\, when General Burgoyne surrendered to the revolutionaries\; in Newport\, receiving French troops under the command of her soon-to-be dear friend Marquis de Lafayette\; in Yorktown\, just after the decisive battle\; in Paris and London\, helping to determine the standing of the new nation on the world stage.\n\nShe was born as Engeltje\, a Dutch-speaking\, slave-owning colonial girl who witnessed the Stamp Act riots in the Royal British Province of New York. She came of age under English rule as Angelica\, the eldest daughter of the most important family on the northern part of Hudson’s River\, raised to be a domestic diplomat responsible for hosting indigenous chiefs and enemy British generals at dinner. She was Madame Church\, wife of a privateer turned merchant banker\, whose London house was a refuge for veterans of the American war fleeing the guillotine in France. Across nationalities\, languages\, and cultures\, across the divides of war\, grievance\, and geography\, Angelica wove a web of soft-power connections that spanned the War for Independence\, the post-war years of tenuous peace\, and the turbulent politics and rival ideologies that threatened to tear apart the nascent United States\n\nIn this enthralling and revealing woman’s-eye view of a revolutionary era\, Molly Beer breathes vibrant new life into a period usually dominated by masculine themes and often dulled by familiarity. In telling Angelica’s story\, she illuminates how American women have always plied influence and networks for political ends\, including the making of a new nation.

At a time when the world is deeply divided\, when diverse perspectives and experiences are being weaponized by fear\, Nickleson’s paintings meticulously build another world - one mark\, one brush stroke at a time. Layering colors and mark-making that draw on prehistoric forms and symbols\, Nickleson seeks a new futurity that acknowledges the losses\, and co-existence that build on our differences and commonalities. Sara has been consistently building her visual vocabulary and we are excited to see where she will go next.” \nEnvision: The 2025 Michigan Artist Initiative is curated by Srimoyee Mitra with the assistance of Joe Rohrer.

The only predictable way to get an interview is through networking\, but “networking” is frustratingly vague advice. How do you network so that it leads to interviews?\n\nIn this two-hour workshop\, Steve Dalton\, the author of “The 2-Hour Job Search\,” offers an exact process — rather than a series of tips — for effectively turning strangers into advocates\, leading to more internal referrals and more job interviews. This session proposes an efficient alternative to hopelessly applying to online job postings. “The 2-Hour Job Search” turns networking into a finite and repeatable recipe to help job seekers harness free and simple technology to get the right job faster\, and attendees will leave the session knowing exactly what they need to do next.\n\nThis event is a shared partnership between the Ross School of Business Career Development Office and the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan career program.

At a time when the world is deeply divided\, when diverse perspectives and experiences are being weaponized by fear\, Nickleson’s paintings meticulously build another world - one mark\, one brush stroke at a time. Layering colors and mark-making that draw on prehistoric forms and symbols\, Nickleson seeks a new futurity that acknowledges the losses\, and co-existence that build on our differences and commonalities. Sara has been consistently building her visual vocabulary and we are excited to see where she will go next.” \nEnvision: The 2025 Michigan Artist Initiative is curated by Srimoyee Mitra with the assistance of Joe Rohrer.
