SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. They are currently collaborating with a museum design firm on the final version of the exhibit\, which will debut in fall 2025. We invite you to check out what they've done so far.\n\nPresented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours: \nThursdays\, 12-5 pm\nFridays\, 12-5 pm

SUMMARY:Presentation:Impact Institutes Informational Sessions
DESCRIPTION:The Vision 2034 Impact Institutes initiative aims to position the University of Michigan as a global leader in addressing societal challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration\, innovation and enhanced worldwide recognition. Impact Institutes will offer three virtual information session options to guide prospective applicants through the application process. Researchers from any U-M school\, college or campuses interested in interdisciplinary research and innovation are encouraged to attend. Impact Institutes aims to establish research centers with initial Seed Stage funding of up to $200\,000 for approximately 20 institutes. Up to five successful Seed Stage institutes may advance to the Venture Stage\, receiving up to $500\,000 annually for three years. \n\nLisa Prosser\, Associate Vice President of Health Sciences and Research Faculty Affairs\, will provide an overview and host a Q&A session. Participants can choose one of the following session times: June 26\, 2025\, from 1:00pm to 1:45pm\; July 16\, 2025\, from 9:30am to 10:15am\; or August 21\, 2025\, from 12:00pm to 12:45pm.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Online Arabic Placement test_June 26\, 2025 (3pm-5:30pm EST)
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Arabic Placement TestAbout the testThe test takes approximately three hours in length\, and it is composed of three portions:a. The writing portion is completed via Zoom and it is worth a total of 100 points.b. The reading portion is completed online through Canvas site\, and it is worth a total of 48 points.c. Right after finishing with the reading portion\, each student will have a follow-up interview with a proctor. The interviews last approximately 15 minutes and it is worth a total of 20 points.Important: The interview portion will be weighted most heavily as it will be used to validate performance on the other two portions. The final result/score/rating will thus be based on the student’s performance on the interview above all. Rating of performance on the writing or reading portions is secondary.How is the result calculated?Students who receive 60% or above will be placed in Arabic 401 and thus placed out of the LSA Language Requirement.Where can I view my results? Placement results are posted within 7 business days after taking the test. You will not be notified of your score automatically. You may view your placements via: Wolverine Access > Student Business > Academic Records > View Placement Exam Results.\nImportant information about the test* Please note that only students who are participating in the Spring/Summer orientations are eligible to take the online placement test. If you are an existing UM student\, please sign up to take the in-person placement test that is taking place in August.* Placements are valid for only one year. If you fail to register in the course that you are placed in\, you will be required to retake the test.* Retaking the placement test is only permitted after the placement results expire.* Students who are currently taking an Arabic course will not be allowed to take the placement test. * The test assesses students’ proficiency in Standard Arabic (fuSHa)\, NOT colloquial Arabic.* If you speak an Arabic dialect but you do not know how to read or write or have little knowledge\, feel free to register in Arabic 101.* Students who know some Arabic because they came from an Arabic-speaking household or have studied Arabic before\, must take the Arabic proficiency test in order to determine their placement.* Students who have taken Arabic at other institutions and wish to continue their Arabic study at UM must take the placement test to determine their level. Credits for Arabic study undertaken at another institution prior to joining UM or in a summer program while attending UM\, transfer in as generic departmental credits and students must take the placement test to determine credit equivalencies to UM courses.* If you place in or beyond the 401 level\, you will have satisfied the LSA language requirement.* Students are encouraged to take a placement test as early as possible in their studies in order to determine the level they should enroll in\, or if they test out of the language requirement. This is extremely important to avoid delays in graduation and complications with placement.* Arabic 101\, 201\, 401\, 501 or 504 are offered ONLY in the Fall semester\, and Arabic 102\, 202\, 402\, 511 are ONLY offered in the Winter semester.* Arabic 103 (the equivalent of Arabic 101 & 102\, combined) AND Arabic 203 (the equivalent of Arabic 201 & 202\, combined) are offered in the Spring-Summer terms.UM’s Arabic curriculum is a dual register curriculum in which students learn to speak and understand the Levantine dialect (the dialect of Jordan\, Syria\, Palestine and Lebanon) in addition to developing the four language skills of formal Arabic (fuSHa). If you have questions regarding the placement test\, please contact the Arabic program director at\, mesarabicprogram@umich.edu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Topology seminar: Taut foliations from knot diagrams
DESCRIPTION:Taut foliations have been a classical object of study in 3-manifolds theory. Recently\, new interest in them has come from the investigation of the so-called \"L-space conjecture\"\, that predicts that manifolds containing a co-orientable taut foliation can be characterised in terms of their Heegaard Floer homology and their fundamental group. A possible approach to the study of this conjecture is analysing Dehn surgeries on knots and links. Most of the techniques employed for constructing taut foliations on Dehn surgeries usually make use of some property of the exterior of the link\, for example its fiberedness. It is therefore interesting to address this study from a different perspective\, using other types of properties of knots and links. In this talk I will present a result about the existence of taut foliations on all non-trivial surgeries on knots with a special diagram.
