Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot. Please contact asbates@umich.edu with any questions or accommodation needs.\n\n\nIn this craft lecture\, Rumaan Alam will explore the topic of pleasure. Essentially\, that’s the readers’ ultimate goal and should be part of the writer’s too—a favorite hobbyhorse of his. The lecture will emphasize the idea of prioritizing pleasure\, both the reader’s and your own\, as you work\, and how pleasure should be a part of the larger calculus around everything a writer is doing.\n\nRumaan Alam is an author whose writing explores the beauty and horror of daily existence\, as well as complex ideas about fate and privilege. \n\nAfter his parents moved from Bangladesh in the ‘70s\, Rumaan grew up in the suburbs of Washington D.C. He was an obsessive reader and knew he wanted to be a writer by the time he was 10 years old. After studying English and graduating from Oberlin College\, he has written three novels:* Rich and Pretty\, That Kind of Mother*\, and his latest\, the instant *New York Times* bestseller *Leave the World Behind*. A finalist for the 2020 National Book Award\, *Leave the World Behind* is also being adapted for film with Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington in lead roles.\n\nRumaan’s other writing has appeared in *The Wall Street Journal*\, *The New York Times*\, *New York Magazine*\, *Buzzfeed*\, and *The New Republic*\, where he is a contributing editor. He also co-hosts two podcasts for *Slate*.\n\nRumaan lives in New York with his husband and two children.\n\n\nFor any questions about the event or to share accommodation needs\, please email asbates@umich.edu-- we are eager to help ensure that this event is inclusive to you. The building\, event space\, and restrooms are wheelchair accessible. A lactation room (Angell Hall #5209)\, reflection room (Haven Hall #1506)\, and gender-inclusive restroom (Angell Hall 5th floor) are available on site. ASL interpreters and CART services at in-person events are available upon request\; please email asbates@umich.edu at least two weeks prior to the event\, whenever possible\, to allow time to arrange services.\n\nU-M employees with a U-M parking permit may use the Church Street Parking Structure (525 Church St.\, Ann Arbor) or the Thompson Parking Structure (500 Thompson St.\, Ann Arbor). There is limited metered street parking on State Street and South University Avenue. The Forest Avenue Public Parking Structure (650 South Forest Ave.\, Ann Arbor) is five blocks away\, and the parking rate is $1.20 per hour. All of these options include parking spots for individuals with disabilities.

Morris has used his work to engage in various social conversations addressing themes of race\, spirituality\, history\, mental wellness and community. As a native Detroiter\, Morris has always had a fondness for his hometown\, which is evident in his work. \n\nMorris’ artistic influence began to manifest at a very early age\, as he took found objects from around his home and created new works. However\, his familial connections also informed his development. Grandmother\, Dell Pryor\, a gallerist in the city of Detroit across four decades\, exposed James to many emerging and master artists. Some of those names that ultimately influenced and inspired Morris include Adger Cowans\, Hugh Grannum\, Lester Sloan\, Al Loving\, Gilda Snowden\, Shirley Woodson\, Anthony Barboza\, and Eric Pryor among others. \n\nIn 2008\, Morris founded Definitive Style Exclusive (DSE Detroit)\, a brand that uses an array of visual statements and designs created with a simple yet blunt approach to touch on difficult and controversial topics within our society. \n\nIn 2019\, Morris began developing an artistic style that combines collage\, photo montage\, and abstract expressionism. This collage-montage style has led Morris to create a series of figurative works\, that have engaged many within the artistic community.

Brown School of Engineering\, Rice University DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT: Using genome-wide data for phylogenetic inference and analysis has become commonplace in the post-genomic era\, giving rise to the field of phylogenomics. The multispecies coalescent (MSC) model has emerged as the main stochastic process that helps capture the intricate relationship between species trees and gene trees. Combined with models of sequence evolution\, the MSC can be viewed as a generative model of genomic sequence data in the context of a (species) phylogenetic tree. A significant outcome of the use of genome-wide data has been the increasing evidence\, or hypotheses\, of reticulation (e.g.\, hybridization) during the evolution of various groups of eukaryotic species. Reticulate evolutionary histories are best represented as phylogenetic networks\, which extend the tree model to allow for admixtures of genetic material. In this talk\, I will describe the multispecies network coalescent (MSNC) model\, which extends the MSC model so that it operates within the branches of a phylogenetic network. This extended model naturally allows for modeling vertical and horizontal evolutionary processes acting within and across species boundaries. In particular\, it simultaneously accounts for gene tree incongruence across loci due to both hybridization and incomplete lineage sorting. I will then briefly describe a host of methods that we have developed for phylogenetic network inference under the MSNC. The methods differ by the mathematical criterion they employ\, the data they take as input\, as well as the information they infer. I will also discuss practical issue facing phylogenetic network inference in practice. All methods are implemented and publicly available in the\nPhyloNet software package (http://bioinfocs.rice.edu/phylonet).\n\nBIO: Luay Nakhleh is the William and Stephanie Sick Dean of Engineering and Professor of Computer Science at Rice University in Houston\, Texas.

Problems with the Handshake platform? Want advice on who to talk to or what to ask? Staff will be on hand to assist!: GLAM Support Zoom Room  11a-4pCT Before the Fair:Make sure your resume is ready to be seen by employers before you upload it to Handshake.Review the list of employers participating\, identify your top 5-10 (based on your interests\, skills\, and the types of roles you think you would be a good fit for) and research their openings in advance. Search Employers on Handshake to learn more about the companies. Do not plan to visit with every employer attending the fair.Practice your Pitch! Your professional \"elevator\" pitch is not a script for you to memorize and recite verbatim. It is a \"mental outline\" to help you organize and remember the main qualities you want an employer to know when you introduce yourself. It should flow naturally and not come across as robotic.On the Day of the Fair:Dress to impress: Even though this fair is virtual\, it is important to make a good impression and wear business casual/professional attire that you feel comfortable and confident in.Make sure your resume is updated and on Handshake\, and that you have a quiet environment with reliable internet connection to minimize distractions. After the Fair:Write down thefirst and last name of each representative you meet with.Politely ask them if they would share an email address where you can keep in touch. Prepare to graciously accept a decline.Send them an email (if they shared contact info) or a LinkedIn connection request within 24-48 hours after the event.​​​​​​​GLAM CAREER PANELS**Career panels have concluded.
