SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Quantitative propagation of chaos and universality for asymmetric Langevin spin glass dynamics
DESCRIPTION:We obtain quantitative estimates on quenched propagation of chaos for Langevin spin glass dynamics with i.i.d. disorder. Prior work in the case of Gaussian disorder established the qualitative convergence of the law of a single spin to a deterministic McKean--Vlasov limit. We prove convergence rates in expected Wasserstein distance and quantitative concentration rates for Lipschitz observables under the assumption that the disorder satisfies the T_2 inequality. The proof uses a coupling argument\, together with techniques from concentration of measure\, filtering theory\, and Malliavin calculus.

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:The Stories We Carry
DESCRIPTION:*Free and open to the public. Registration is not required. *\n\nNovelist Colum McCann joins Michigan Public's April Baer for a conversation on storytelling as an act of empathy and why listening matters now more than ever. \n\nStories have the power not only to entertain or inform\, but to help us imagine lives beyond our own. In this special Jill S. Harris Memorial Lecture\, internationally acclaimed novelist Colum McCann joins Michigan Public's April Baer for a conversation about storytelling as an act of empathy\, curiosity\, and human connection. Drawing on McCann's celebrated fiction and his work as co-founder of Narrative 4\, the discussion will explore how stories invite us to listen more deeply\, understand one another across differences\, and expand our sense of what it means to be human. At a time when genuine listening can feel increasingly rare\, this conversation will consider the unique role that literature and storytelling can play in helping us encounter one another with greater openness\, compassion\, and imagination.\n\nJoin us after the conversation for a Community Story Exchange led by Narrative 4 at 7pm! Registration required. More details at https://events.umich.edu/event/149899.\n\nColum McCann is the author of eight novels\, three collections of stories and two works of non-fiction. Born and raised in Dublin\, Ireland\, he has been the recipient of many international honours\, including the U.S National Book Award\, the International Dublin Literary Prize\, a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from the French government\, election to the Irish arts academy\, several European awards\, the 2010 Best Foreign Novel Award in China\, and an Oscar nomination. In 2017 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts.  He is the President and co-founder of the non-profit global story exchange organisation\, Narrative 4. He lives in New York with his wife Allison and their family.  His 2009 novel Let the Great World Spin has sold a million copies in the United States alone\, and was voted on the New York Times Readers List\, “100 Best Books of the 21st Century.”  \n\nApril Baer is the host of Michigan Public’s Stateside talk show. Prior to her arrival in Michigan\, April was the host of the weekly show State of Wonder on Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) for the past six years. Before that\, she was the Morning Edition host and a reporter at OPB\, covering beats including government and legal affairs\, changing demographics and the arts.\n\n*The Jill S. Harris Memorial Endowment was established in 1985 by Roger and Meredith Harris\, Jill’s parents\, her grandparents Allan and Norma Harris\, and friends. The fund was established in memory of Jill\, a resident of Chicago and undergraduate student at U-M who passed away due to injuries from an auto accident.*

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Jonathan Turley: Rage and the Republic
DESCRIPTION:Professor Jonathan Turley will be discussing his book\, \"Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution\". The New York Times bestseller has been described by former NPR editor Uri Berliner as “Jonathan Turley's birthday gift to America to mark its 250 years of independence... A wise guide to avoid wrecking the American project.\"\n\nTurley explores the unique elements of the American Revolution in comparison to its counterpart in France. He discusses why one became the world’s oldest democracy and the other became the infamous “Terror.” That story is told with vivid stories of the personalities of the age\, including Thomas Paine’s\, who was one of two leading figures in both revolutions (the other being Lafayette).  Turley takes that rich history and asks whether the American Republic can survive the 21st Century.

DESCRIPTION:*\"You tell my story\, I tell yours. In the first-person. Face to face.\" *\n    * –Colum McCann\, co-founder of Narrative 4*\n\nHeld in conjunction with The Stories We Carry\, featuring acclaimed novelist Colum McCann in conversation with Michigan Public's April Baer (https://myumi.ch/NXrg9)\, this facilitated workshop offers the opportunity to put the evening's ideas into practice.
