SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Stochastic Models and Optimization for Dynamic Portfolio Management: A Compartment Framework for Financial Growth and Decision Support
DESCRIPTION:Portfolio management is a dynamic decision-making problem characterized by uncertainty\, evolving asset states\, competing risk–return objectives\, and changing market conditions. This research develops an integrated stochastic and optimization framework for modelling financial growth and formulating investment policies by representing a portfolio as a dynamic compartmental system in which risky and non-risky assets undergo stochastic growth\, loss\, transformation\, and migration. Univariate and bivariate birth–death and migration processes\, together with Markov and hidden-state modelling perspectives\, are employed to characterize the probabilistic evolution and interactions of portfolio components.\n\nThe proposed framework systematically connects stochastic process modelling\, probability analysis\, statistical inference\, nonlinear optimization\, computational analysis\, and decision support. Difference and differential equations are developed to describe portfolio dynamics\, while probability-generating functions and moment-based methods are used to derive expectations\, variances\, covariances\, and related measures under transient and steady-state conditions. These statistical characteristics subsequently serve as inputs to stochastic optimization models that address alternative investment objectives\, including risk control\, volatility management\, portfolio diversification\, and the determination of appropriate investment policy parameters.\n\nComputational experimentation and sensitivity analysis are incorporated to examine the effects of growth\, loss\, and transformation parameters on portfolio behavior\, using real-world financial data to ground empirical exploration and model validation. The resulting framework provides a pathway from uncertainty modelling to quantitative risk assessment\, prescriptive optimization\, and intelligent decision support. The research is intended to stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration across Statistics\, Stochastic Processes\, Mathematical Finance\, Operations Research\, Optimization\, Data Science\, and Computational Modelling\, with potential applications in real-data validation\, software development\, joint publications\, and future research on scalable stochastic decision-support systems for contemporary financial management.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SAPAC GROWE: Engendering Respectful Communities Workshops - SY26 - 27
DESCRIPTION:Engendering Respectful Communities (ERC) is a one session workshop that engages graduate students in meaningful dialogue about various forms of sexual misconduct they may encounter in both professional and social spaces\, and provides resources for intervention or support in such circumstances.The primary goal of the workshop is to address complexities experienced by graduate students as they engage in bystander intervention\, so that participants gain an increase in awareness of barriers to action and familiarity with strategic planning to overcome them. The workshop also introduces participants to on-campus resources and provides knowledge on how sexual misconduct can unfold in graduate-specific settings.The ERC workshop uses small-group circles intended to promote active reflection and space to build community. The procedure of circles is introduced at the beginning of the workshop in order to help participants get used to the process\, which they do through a circle for introductions and value-sharing for the workshop space. These circles depict various\, realistic scenarios related to sexual misconduct within the graduate community. The circle process allows circle members to process the monologues\, reflect on complexities with identity and power dynamics within them\, name potential barriers to intervention\, and think of various ways in which they might respond if faced with similar situations. The circles provide a way to foster collective building of ideas\, where participants learn from one another and all input is equally valued. Participants are encouraged to share but can always pass if desired\, creating an environment where participation is open but not forced. Due to the participatory nature of the workshop\, if you are to arrive more than 20 minutes late\, we will ask you to re-register for another workshop session.If you have any questions about or concerns with taking this workshop\, or are in need of an exemption\, please contact jhippe@umich.edu or fill out this form. We know some students come to campus having already experienced harm. If you have circumstances that make completing this course challenging\, please reach out to the GROWE team. SAPAC GROWE provides exemptions to the ERC workshop (where requirements are set in place) on a case by case basis. The Program Manager will communicate with students requesting exemptions via email and/or meet with students via zoom meetings to discuss their need for exemptions and provide any relevant and necessary resources.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ukraine: Revolution\, Resistance\, Democracy
DESCRIPTION:About the talk: Why did Russia invade Ukraine? What explains the power of Ukrainian resistance? Sophia Wilson’s talk will be based on her book about the Ukrainian Maidan Revolution of 2013-14\, showing why it is impossible to understand Russia’s invasion of Ukraine without first understanding the Ukrainian pro-democratic grassroots movement and the rooting out of Russian puppet authoritarianism. Her study of the Ukrainian Revolution gives a carefully researched account of the underbelly of the revolutionary process\, investigating how participants self-organized to create the resistance\, why the peaceful movement eventually turned to violence\, and how the revolutionary process changed those who came to change the country. Wilson will discuss how the people resisted the state in multiple arenas – the protest square\, courtrooms\, hospitals\, churches\, and media – to successfully challenge the constitutionality of the state’s actions. She will also explain how the Kremlin propaganda about the Ukrainian democratic movement captures the essence of Russia’s motivation to suppress Ukraine’s sovereignty and democracy. \n\nAbout the speaker: Dr. Sophia Wilson is a Professor of Political Science at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville\, and the President of the American Association for Ukrainian Studies. Wilson received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington and held fellowships at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute\, Indiana University Law School\, and Weizenbaum Institute in Berlin. She taught at the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute in 2017\, 2019 and 2025. Wilson's publications on human rights practices in authoritarian regimes are based on extensive fieldwork she conducted in Tajikistan\, Azerbaijan and Ukraine\, including multiple interviews with judges\, journalists and activists. Her book\, Maidan: Ukraine's Democratic Revolution is an extensive analysis of the grassroots 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity\, which renegotiated the social contract and reaffirmed democracy in Ukraine. She is currently working on her new book\, Fascism vs. Communism: Ukraine under Three Occupations. Dr. Wilson has provided analysis for U.S. government agencies\, and commentary for broadcast and print media outlets on Ukraine and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. She was recognized by the Ukrainian government \"for leadership in the study and research of Ukrainian Studies in the United States of America\" in August 2024\, and awarded a Certificate of Recognition from the Global Coalition of Ukrainian Studies for her role in strengthening Ukraine's presence in the global academic community in 2025. \n\nThis lecture is part of the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures' series \"Ukraine Unbound: Culture\, Memory\, Resistance\".\nThe talks will be held in a hybrid format\, and they're hosted by Alex Averbuch\, Assistant Professor of Ukrainian Literature and Culture.\nThis talk is co-sponsored by Razom for Ukraine / Ukraine on Campus.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Evenings with OLLI: When Driving Changes: How Automation Keeps People Moving
DESCRIPTION:5:30-6pm - Refreshments and Socializing\n6-7pm - Program\n7-7:30pm - Q&A\n\nHow does our driving change as we age and how can automation benefit us? This presentation examines how technology\, particularly advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated functions\, can serve as a tool to support safe mobility in later life. We critically look at technologies and assess how they benefit drivers. Results highlight high availability of ADAS among older drivers but also gaps in training and understanding that may limit safety benefits. \n\nDr. Renée St. Louis is the Head of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute's (UMTRI) Behavioral Sciences Group\, studying social and behavioral factors shaping transportation safety and mobility across the lifespan. She leads research with diverse participants and has co-authored a book on older adult mobility. \n\nDr. Arpan Kusari is an UMTRI research faculty focused on robust challenges in vehicle automation. He partners with federal agencies and industry to assess sensing and perception\, earning AAAI-2026 Best Poster among other awards.\n\n*The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at U-M provides educational opportunities for older adults\, designed by older adults. Membership is intended for all enthusiastic learners aged 50 and older\, regardless of previous education or affiliation with U-M.*
