SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MORE Committee Workshop (FACULTY): Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start
DESCRIPTION:Developed by the MORE Committee\, this workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor by facilitating the development of shared expectations. Mentors and mentees work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles\, and consider strategies for dealing with possible challenges. Then\, student-faculty pairs work together to develop a written mentoring plan as a means of codifying some of the most important elements (needs\, goals\, mutual expectations) of a two-way mentoring relationship. Among Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans\, 83 percent find those plans useful. Registration and attendance at the same workshop are required of both the faculty and the student. Separate registration for students is available at: https://myumi.ch/6167J.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Elsa Olander - Becoming: My Journey Through Stamps
DESCRIPTION:Becoming is the senior thesis project of Stamps School of Art & Design student Elsa Olander. 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’t about arriving. It’s about highlighting the moments that get us there. The doubt\, discovery\, and growth that shape who we are. It’s 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“This exhibition is about my growth and process\, but it’s not singular. Many of my family members\, including my mother\, aren’t 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’ve come from\, and sharing my journey with those who may not be able to witness it in person. My hope is that viewers see these works not just as a portrait of my evolution\, but as an invitation to reflect\, relate\, and reimagine their own paths of becoming.” \n-Elsa Olander\n\nBecoming: My Journey Through Stamps\nExhibition Dates: April 30 – May 22\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Thursday\, April 30\, 5:30 – 8 p.m. (RSVP Recommended)\nDuderstadt Center Gallery

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SRC Seminar Series Presents: The Use of AI for Academic Testing: How Much Can We Trust the Results?
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/s/97124958569\nMeeting ID: 971 2495 8569\nPasscode: 145795\n\nAbstract\nAI methodology has been proposed and investigated for use for aspects of academic testing that are expensive and time consuming such as test item development and scoring of open-ended responses. This presentation will summarize current applications of AI and these areas and highlight areas of concern for these uses. The focus of the presentation is on the accuracy of the results obtained from AI applications and methods used for obtaining measures of accuracy. The presentation is guided by standards for educational and psychological tests that have been developed by AERA\, NCME\, and APA\, and those produced by the International Test Commission (ITC). This is a very quickly changing area of development and investigation. Some ideas will be presented on the types of data that should be collected to document the types of AI procedures that are used and the quality of the results of the applications.\n\nBiography\nMark Reckase is a University Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University where he has taught courses in IRT\, large scale assessment\, and advanced psychometric methods.  He has published in the areas of IRT\, CAT\, value-added modeling\, and setting standards on educational tests.  He has recently written a book on the theory of standard setting. Professor Reckase has been the president of NCME and the International Association for Computerized Adaptive Testing (IACAT)\, the vice president of Division D of AERA\, and the secretary of the Psychometric Society.  He has served as editor of the Journal of Educational Measurement and Applied Psychological Measurement.
