SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Story Lab Winter Retreats
DESCRIPTION:Story Lab develops executive-level presence and communication skills through storytelling workshops and events. To be an effective leader — at work\, in the community\, or in your personal life — you must be able to communicate with impact. Often this means telling stories that are meaningful to you and others\, and doing so in the rich language and expressive style of a seasoned storyteller. If you can craft and deliver an effective story\, you will be better able to convey your value to recruiters\, inspire and motivate classmates and colleagues\, and influence your audience. At Story Lab\, you’ll find an immersive experience and an opportunity to hone your skills in a safe and supportive environment.\n\nDATES\nFeb 13 | 4:30-9 PM (virtual) OR Feb 14 | 10 AM-2:30 PM (in-person)\nDevelop your storytelling abilities.\n\nPARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS\nStudents with a strong interest in building storytelling abilities and leadership development. Any level student at any school is welcome.\n\nRegister between Jan 28–Feb 7.\n\nVisit our webpage to learn more!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism
DESCRIPTION:Organized as a response to the Museum’s recent acquisition of Titus Kaphar’s Flay (James Madison)\, this upcoming reinstallation of one of our most prominent gallery spaces forces us to grapple with our collection of European and American art\, 1650-1850.\n \nIn recent times\, growing public awareness of the continued reverberations of the legacy of slavery and colonization has challenged museums to examine the uncomfortable histories contained in our collections\, and challenged the public to probe the choices we make about those stories. Choices about which artists you see in our galleries\, choices about what relevant facts we share about the works\, and choices about what - out of an infinite number of options - we don’t say about them.\n \nPieces in this exhibition were made at a time when the world came to be shaped by the ideologies of colonial expansion and Western domination. And yet\, that history and the stories of those marginalized do not readily appear in the still lives and portraits on display here. By grappling with what is visible and what remains hidden\, we are forced to examine whose stories and histories are prioritized and why.  \n \nIn this online exhibition\, you can explore our efforts to deeply question the Museum’s collection and our own past complicity in favoring colonial voices. In the Museum gallery\, which will open in early 2021\, you’ll be able to experience the changes we’re making to the physical space to highlight a more honest version of European and American history. \n \nBy challenging our own practice\, and continuing to add to what we know and what we write about the works we display\, UMMA tells a more complex and more complete story of this nation - one that unsettles\, and fails to settle for\, simple narratives. \n \n“Invisible things are not necessarily ‘not there’.... Certain absences are so stressed\, so ornate\, so planned\, they call attention to themselves\; arrest us with intentionality and purpose\, like neighborhoods that are defined by the population held away from them.” \n \n— Toni Morrison\n\nLead support for Unsettling Histories: Legacies of Slavery and Colonialism is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the U-M Arts Initiative\, and the Susan and Richard Gutow Endowed Fund.\n

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Data & Research Methods Project: Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:All students are invited to join this free and open data science research project which can be used to supplement your digital research portfolio! On Friday\, February 14th\, we will meet for our first open Office Hours session to troubleshoot participant projects.&nbsp\;Register and learn more: https://nebigdatahub.org/drm-project/&nbsp\;The Data &amp\; Research Methods project is perfect for beginners who have never worked with a dataset before. This project will also be helpful for advanced data science students who have little experience working with data cleaning or survey building\, desk research\, or data visualizations.&nbsp\;The focus of this project is the research process as a whole.It is the first day of your new job as the Junior Data Scientist forthe Office of the Mayor in the fictional town of Data Lake\, West Dakota.The population of Data Lake (314\,159) has grown rapidly since 2020 as a number of remote workers have relocated to the mid-size city. Mayor “Tess Ellation” has tasked your office with a project – to learn more about the specific needs of the town’s new remote work population. She asks you to review data on remote workers provided by the U.S. Census Bureau and come back to her with at least two data-driven policy recommendations which will support these new Data Lake families (for example\, a policy recommendation might be: build new coworking spaces downtown). Your policy recommendations must be informed by data analysis or Mayor Ellation will not adopt them.&nbsp\;Participants will clean a dataset\, learn about the ethics of data science research\, do some preliminary analysis\,and develop a working hypothesis about the impact of remote work policies. You'll build some simple data visualizations\, test your hypotheses\, write up a short conclusion\, and prepare a final report for Mayor Ellation.&nbsp\;There are 9 Milestones in this project. There are several Tasks you need to complete within each Milestone. This project should take you no more than 30 hours to finish. Depending on your skill level\, it maytake you less time.In this project\, you will learn using a combination of videos\, articles\, and external data work in spreadsheets. Our team has provided you with several external links and resources which will supplement your learning.Project participants who complete Milestones 1-9 in accordance with these instructions will receive a Certificate ofCompletion from the NSDC Project Team.&nbsp\;
