SUMMARY:Exhibition:Melissa Jones Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Jones works across multiple mediums\, consistently centering the human figure\, texture\, and elements of the natural world—such as weathered surfaces\, bones\, and rust. These recurring interests create a unifying thread throughout her work\, regardless of medium.\nShe creates in both two and three dimensions\, including sculpture\, painting\, and assemblage. Oil painting is her preferred medium\, allowing her to work slowly in layered processes and achieve a wide range of nuanced effects.\n\nJones’ work is primarily figurative\, often narrative and autobiographical—though not strictly self-portraiture. Her figures are intended to evoke emotional responses that are less commonly found in landscape or other painting genres. She draws inspiration from the visual poetry of the human form\, finding beauty in subtle details: the turn of a wrist\, the curve of a spine\, or the shadow along a collarbone. She is captivated by how light illuminates the skin and how shadow defines form\, embracing the challenge of capturing this complexity in paint. Beyond physical representation\, her work also explores psychological dimensions\, aiming to convey mood and emotional depth.\n\nHer technique\, in both painting and sculpture\, is highly detailed\, realistic\, and developed gradually over time through layered processes. At times\, her work enters the realm of magical realism. While deeply personal\, her narratives remain intentionally ambiguous\, inviting viewers to interpret the imagery through their own perspectives and experiences.\n\nBorn and raised in Detroit\, Jones studied at Wayne State University\, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education and a Master’s degree in Art Therapy. She previously worked as an art educator in the West Bloomfield School District and has exhibited professionally throughout the Detroit area since 2006\, receiving numerous awards. In addition\, she served as a board member and exhibition committee member for the Detroit Artists Market.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Spring 2026 Disability Scholarship Initiative Dissemination
DESCRIPTION:The Office of the Provost’s Disability Scholarship Initiative is intended to support the pursuit of new scholarships aimed to better understand and address the concerns of faculty and staff on the Ann Arbor campus who have a disability. A broad definition of disability is foundational to the initiative\, which may include mental\, physical\, and cognitive differences. Made possible by gift funds\, the initiative aligns with existing efforts to strengthen the institutional commitment to an inclusive and accessible campus for all members of the community. All funded proposals address the Look to Michigan pillars of health and well-being and life-changing education. What does a quiet work space look like? Visualizing faculty and staff preferences at the University of MichiganPresenter: Joy Knoblauch\, PhD\, Associate Professor of ArchitectureIn exploring the ideal quiet workspace for those with disabilities\, our study seeks to capture the diverse preferences and visualizations of faculty and staff at the University of Michigan (U-M) and Michigan Medicine (MM). Quiet workspaces are essential for enhancing productivity\, fostering creativity\, and promoting well-being in academic and medical settings.Build it and they will come: An anti-ableist workplace to enhance our ability to advance health equity for individuals with disabilitiesPresenters: Michael M. McKee\, MD\, MPH\, Professor\, Director of MDisability\; Saumya Gupta\, Project CoordinatorThe Michigan Medicine Workplace Equity for Individuals with Disabilities is a multi-phase project that aims to identify workplace barriers and challenges experienced by Michigan Medicine faculty and staff with disabilities\, and to pilot interventions that foster a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture.ASL Interpreters and CART transcriptions are being requested for the entirety of the event.Livestream Link: https://umich.zoom.us/s/99654904325Disability Scholarship Initiative\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Using CRLT’s 5 Element Framework to Support Student Learning and Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will explore strategies for supporting student wellbeing in our courses using CRLT’s ‘5 Element Framework’ and other relevant research.  We will think together about how your teaching choices can support student learning and student mental health or wellbeing. And\, engage in critical discussion with session participants about ways to apply relevant research\, appropriate to teaching roles\, to our course design\, including course policies\, assignments\, and communication with students.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, May 11\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\n1020 Kahn Auditorium\, BSRB\n\nTony Capra\, PhD\nProfessor\nBakar Computational Health Sciences Institute\nDepartment of Epidemiology and Biostatistics\nUniversity of California\, San Francisco\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Xinjun Zhang\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nWe use the tools of computer science and statistics to address problems in genetics\, evolution\, and biomedicine. For a summary of our major research foci\, see Research.\n\nOur group is located in the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute and the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California\, San Francisco. Prior to coming to UCSF\, Tony spent 7 wonderful years at Vanderbilt University.\n\nHumans differ from one another and our closest living relatives\, the chimpanzees\, in a wide range of traits\, including our susceptibility to many diseases. We model the evolutionary processes that have produced these novel traits and develop algorithms that compare genomes to predict the functional relevance of specific genetic differences between individuals and species.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Designing Classroom Activities for Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Active learning can make teaching more engaging\, provide immediate feedback on student learning\, and give students valuable opportunities to practice the skills they need to be successful. Learning experiences designed without a central consideration of accessibility\, however\, may lead to inequitable outcomes for students with disabilities. In this in-person workshop\, participants will: explore one approach (Universal Design for Learning) to promote teaching for accessibility\; practice identifying barriers to participation in order to design activities around accessibility\; and share and create ideas for how to accessibly implement different active learning opportunities. This seminar is for folks already comfortable with designing and implementing in-class activities (active learning) who want to develop a practice of reflecting and improving on these activities to provide more equitable access to students with disabilities.
