SUMMARY:Well-being:\"Let's Talk\": Informal\, Drop-In Mental Health Counseling
DESCRIPTION:Trained mental health counselors are now available for drop-in conversations at different times and locations across campus\, including at Trotter\, the Spectrum Center\, South Quad\, the International Center\, and Bursley.\n\nThis informal\, confidential “office hours” style can be a great fit for students unsure about formal counseling\; for those with a specific\, time-limited concern they’d like to talk through\; or those seeking information on campus resources. Please note: this is not meant for crisis or emergency support.\n\n\"Let's Talk\" will run from January 20th 2025 to April 25th 2025. There will be no drop-ins the week of Spring Break (March 3rd - 7th). \n\nMonday: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm with Markie Silverman\, Ph.D.\, LP\, Room 2035 in Trotter Multicultural Center\nTuesday: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm with Marcella A. Beaumont\, Ph.D.\, Room 3032 in The Spectrum Center (Michigan Union)\nWednesday: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm with Emily Malinowski\, LMSW\, Room 1721A in South Quad Housing\nThursday: 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm with Ling Liu\, Ph.D. & Chunyu Xu\, M.Ed.\, M.S.Ed.\, Conference Room in the International Center\nFriday: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm with Kayla Douglas\, LMSW\, and Emily Powers\, LLMSW\, Room 2329B in Bursley Housing

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:“Rethinking the New Hollywood: Insights from the Altman Archive”
DESCRIPTION:This presentation considers how the artifacts from the Altman Archive complicate the accepted vision of Robert Altman as a New Hollywood auteur. The analysis of archival findings helps us understand the process behind this visionary and subversive American director.\n\nJustin Wyatt is Chair of Communication Studies at the University of Rhode Island. At URI\, he teaches regularly in Communication Studies\, Film/Media\, and Journalism. He has published widely in the areas of media industry studies\, LGBTQ+ media\, the New Hollywood\, and the films of Robert Altman. His most recent book is a BFI Film Classic on Altman’s enigmatic 3 Women (2024).  His book Creating the Viewer: Market Research and the Evolving Media Ecosystem (2024) considers key market research methods for understanding audience members and the ways that these protocols have been challenged by the digital environment. Wyatt has over 15 years of professional experience understanding consumer and viewer behaviors through media market research. He has co-edited the anthologies Screening American Independent Film (2023) and Refocus: The Later Films and Legacy of Robert Altman (2021). He is completing a manuscript about Nashville for the University of Michigan Press “Out of the Archives” book series\, scheduled for publication in early 2026.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Welcome. Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA’s collection — many on display here for the first time. \n \nAs a free\, public museum\, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition\, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present\, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges\, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations\, race\, gender\, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals\, as a museum\, and as a society\, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings\, to discuss their takes\, to learn\, to disagree. Gather to relax\, make a friend\, drink a coffee\, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full\, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by Félix Zamora Gómez Irving Stenn\, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Saptarshi Chakraborty\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Department of Statistics\, University of California\, Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The advent of deep learning has completely revolutionized how we perceive data to obtain super-human performance across all fields of modern science. However\,  despite the remarkable empirical successes of deep learners\, the theoretical guarantees for their statistical accuracy remain rather pessimistic. In particular\, the data distributions on which deep learners are generally applied\, such as natural images\, are often hypothesized to have an intrinsic low-dimensional structure in a typically high-dimensional feature space. However\, this is often not reflected in the derived rates in the state-of-the-art analyses. This talk aims to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of deep learning from a statistical perspective. We demonstrate that deep learners exhibit a convergence rate determined solely by the intrinsic dimensionality of the data\, rather than its nominal high-dimensional feature representation. Our work not only provides practical guidelines for selecting suitable network architectures but also connects the theoretical analyses of these models to established convergence rates in optimal transport and non-parametric statistics literature. In particular\, we derive the sharpest convergence rates for various learning scenarios\, including Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)\, Wasserstein Autoencoders (WAEs)\, federated learning\, Bi-directional GANs\, and general deep supervised learners. Furthermore\, we introduce a novel measure\, called the entropic dimension\, to characterize the intrinsic dimension of probability measures and achieve the sharpest known approximation results for neural networks employing Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation\, improving upon classical benchmarks.\n\nBio: Saptarshi Chakraborty is a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Statistics at the University of California\, Berkeley\, advised by Prof. Peter Bartlett. Prior to joining Berkeley\, he earned his M.Stat and B. Stat (Hons.) degrees in Statistics from the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI)\, Kolkata\, India. He is primarily interested in the theoretical and methodological foundations of machine learning\, especially\, deep learning theory\, unsupervised learning\, dimensionality reduction\, optimal transport\, and optimization.\n\nhttps://saptarshic27.github.io/
