SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:November International Coffee Hour
DESCRIPTION:International Coffee Hour is a great opportunity to meet new people from around the world! The event is open to all members of the U-M community\, including international and U.S. students\, scholars\, faculty\, staff and their partners.\n\nThis month\, we're partnering with CEW+ as part of Student Caregiver Appreciation Week! CEW+ works with students\, staff\, the community\, and faculty campus-wide. CEW+ provides resources to help individuals reach their academic\, financial\, and professional goals. They will join us to share the resources they offer that help nontraditional students\, specifically highlighting resources for international students. To inspire engagement with others\, International Coffee Hour participants will have the opportunity to go on a scavenger hunt to navigate different resources offered by CEW+ during this event.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Systems Thinking: From Logic Gates to Product Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by alum Jim Simpson (BS CS 1998) — Advisor\, Loretta Technologies\; Former CEO\, Blumira\; Former Director of Product Management\, Duo Security — as part of our Alumni Lecture Series.\n\nBio: Jim Simpson is a seasoned technology executive with over two decades of cybersecurity experience. As CEO of Blumira\, he led the company’s mission to democratize enterprise-grade security for small and medium-sized businesses. Previously\, Simpson held key product leadership roles at Duo Security (acquired by Cisco for $2.35 billion) and Arbor Networks (acquired by NETSCOUT). A University of Michigan computer science graduate\, he currently provides fractional product and executive services while advising technology companies on strategic growth and security initiatives. Simpson is recognized for his user-centric approach to security challenges and his advocacy for diversity and inclusion in the cybersecurity industry.\n\nAbstract: CSE teaches you how to think about systems: understanding the layer below\, building intentionally on the layer above. Most of us think this lesson applies narrowly to code\, to architecture\, to the technical work we do after graduation. It doesn’t. It scales.\n\nIn this talk\, I’ll trace a nonlinear path from EECS 270 to starting product at Duo Security to leading product strategy today\, showing how the same systems-thinking lens applies at every level. I’ll share stories from constrained group projects\, building company operating systems\, and why the bottleneck in product leadership has shifted from execution speed to strategic clarity.\n\nWhether you’re early in your career deciding between technical and non-technical paths\, or years in and wondering how your CSE background applies beyond engineering\, this talk is about recognizing that systems thinking is your real competitive advantage. And it scales all the way up.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Veterans Week:  Women of the Military
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to bring back this highly popular panel during Veterans Week 2026 (November 9-13) at U-M!\nSince the Revolutionary War women have served vital supportive roles in the U.S. military.  Now women are serving along side their male counterparts in all aspects of service\, including combat roles.  Too often they have to overcome sexist stereotypes\, sexual harassment or worse while they are serving their country.  Come hear stories of six women who are faculty\, staff and students at U-M as they share their stories of perseverance\, grit and courage.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Valuatively independent bases for Calabi-Yau varieties
DESCRIPTION:From the perspective of the Gross-Siebert program\, the mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau varieties is governed by certain canonical bases for the sections of the powers of an ample line bundle on a degeneration. It is expected that the pairing between these basis elements and valuations in the essential skeleton satisfies an independence condition\, similar to the pairing between monomials and monomial valuations on a toric variety. In this talk\, I will explain how tools from birational geometry and K-stability can be used to construct bases that fulfill this condition. This is joint work with Yuchen Liu.
