SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Life Mid-Level Supervision Coaching Circles
DESCRIPTION:Coaching Circles are 1 hour dialogic sessions\, led by a facilitator\, around a specific topic\, and limited to no more than 10 individuals. These Coaching Circles are aimed at Mid-Level Supervisors (i.e. those who supervise Full Time Staff and sit in the middle of their Unit or Department. Three Mid-Level Supervision Coaching Circles will be piloted in the Fall. Participants can only attend 1\, as space is limited.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Frontier Knowledge in College and Student Success
DESCRIPTION:This paper studies the teaching of frontier knowledge in higher education and its impact on students. Using text analysis on 2 million course syllabi and 20 million academic articles\, we develop a measure called “frontier knowledge proximity\,” capturing how closely course content aligns with current scholarly research. We document significant variation in frontier knowledge proximity across courses\, even within the same institution\, and demonstrate that these differences substantially affect student outcomes. Linking syllabi to individual student records from Texas and leveraging unexpected syllabus updates\, we show that increases in proximity improves both educational outcomes (graduation\, major retention\, and graduate school enrollment) and earnings. Educational gains are notably larger among median-ability and lower-income students\, whereas earnings benefits disproportionately accrue to higher-ability and higher-income students. These findings indicate that frontier knowledge exposure can narrow socioeconomic disparities in education but remains complementary to students’ existing resources. We conclude by showing that instructors\, particularly research-active faculty\, are the main drivers of differences in frontier knowledge proximity

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Learning seminar in algebraic combinatorics: Tropical linear spaces and buildings
DESCRIPTION:In a previous lecture\, we learnt about tropical linear spaces in terms of valuated matroids\, or tropical Plucker vectors.  In this talk\, I'll give a quick overview of some other ways to think about tropical linear spaces: matroid decompositions of the hypersimplex\, Chow quotients of the Grassmannian\, and membranes.  I'll focus on the last of these.  A result of Keel and Tevelev states that tropical linear spaces can be identified with membranes\, certain subcomplexes of a (Bruhat-Tits) affine building.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Number Theory: The S-unit equation
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Lawrence and Venkatesh (2020) gave a new proof of Faltings’s theorem based on the geometric control of p-adic Galois representations via p-adic period maps and monodromy. In this talk\, I will outline their approach through a toy case—the S-unit equation—where the relevant monodromy computation can be made explicit using a modified Legendre family.
