SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Summer Deep Reading on Deep Learning (Transformer Circuits)
DESCRIPTION:Matthew O'Meara\, PhD and his lab are hosting what we're calling Summer Deep Reading on Deep Learning. This year it will be a multi-part journal club on Transformer Circuits. We're going to start with Grokking and touch on lazy/rich training regimes\, thermodynamics and phase transitions. The aim is to make the math accessible while getting into advanced topics. \n\nAll are welcome\, please pass this announcement to folks in your lab or anyone else you think may be interesting.\n\nOver the course of the series\, we are going to explore the use of generative and agentic AI and how we can use it to engage with new ideas and learn from each other. So each week we'll suggest exercises covering prompting strategies\, ClaudeCode\, Skills/MCPs\, agentic workflows\, and rigor and reproducibility. As a finale\, for those that can attend\, we'll hold a multi-day hackathon where we can work together to integrate what we've learned into resource for others.\n\nSchedule and Logistics\nWe'll meet every-other week on Fridays at 10-11am location 4B700\, where the coordinates may vary depending on availability.\n\nFriday 5/22\nFriday 6/5\nFriday 6/19\nFriday 7/3\nHackathon 7/15-17th\n\n* Each session we'll cover a paper journal as a journal club\, and share what we learned about and through the AI tools.\n* For coordination and up-to-date information\, please join the #summer-deep-reading-deep-learning channel on slack.\n\nExpectations:\nRead the paper and be curious

SUMMARY:Performance:EECS Juneteenth Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The Michigan community is invited to attend the seventh annual EECS Juneteenth Celebration on Friday\, June 19\, at 11:00 a.m. in the Arthur Miller Theatre* in the Walgreen Drama Center\, followed by lunch in the Gerstacker Grove. *Due to space restrictions in Arthur Miller Theatre\, tickets for this event are limited and will be handed out on a first come\, first served basis at the venue. Each attendee will receive a ticket to the program and a ticket for the food trucks.\n\nThe theme of this year’s event is “Celebrating Excellence and Innovation in Health Engineering”. It will feature a keynote presentation entitled “An Engineering Journey into the Neuroscience of Gut Instincts” by Todd Coleman\, an EECS alum and Associate Professor of Bioengineering at Stanford University.\n\nIn addition to the keynote presentation\, the program will include: Welcome remarks by College of Engineering Dean Mingyan Liu\, live performance of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” by Nadia Johnson (School of Music Theatre and Dance) accompanied on piano by Herbert Winful (EECS)\, reading of the Emancipation Proclamation by members of the Graduate Society of Black Engineers and Scientists\, remarks by EECS department leaders\, presentation of the ECE Willie Hobbs Moore Distinguished Alumni Lectureship award to Prof. Todd Coleman and the finale - choreographed performance of “Someday We’ll All Be Free” by Kiana Cook (SMTD-dance)\n\nThe EECS department has partnered with three food trucks – Good Eats\, Nacho Average Tostado\, and Motor City Sweet Treats\, to offer lunch in the Gerstacker Grove afterwards. \n\nJuneteenth\, celebrated on June 19th\, is a national holiday that marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston\, Texas\, announced the end of the Civil War\, and freed 250\,000 slaves in Texas. This was two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had formally freed slaves in the Confederate states. Juneteenth is considered by many as the country’s second Independence Day.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Fore-Site (Phase 2): The Stamps Gallery Pillar Project
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFrom September 2025 through November 2026\, Stamps Gallery is partnering in a curatorial collaboration with two Ypsilanti-based\, artist-run project spaces led by Stamps alumni: C.Y.N.K. Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they’ve curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\n\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA ’23) and Erin McKenna (MFA ’20)\nPhase 2 (January 12 - August 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA ’20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA ’20)\nPhase 3 (September 12 - November 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA ’21)\nPhase 2 Curatorial Statement\n\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Sally Clegg (entry pillar)\nCurated by CYNK Studios: Kim Karlsrud (courtyard pillar)\n\nArtists Sally Clegg and Kim Karlsrud wrap the Division Street pillars in highly site-specific ornament unearthed from the overlooked margins of Ann Arbor. On the Courtyard pillar\, Karlsrud scales up photographs of objects found in liminal spaces surrounding campus buildings on Green Road\, which the artist has encrusted in road salt. On the entryway pillar\, Clegg zooms in on tiny fragments of found material from UMich’s famous “rock” to celebrate nearly seven decades of student art and activism. Both artists uplift aggregate of local human activity to reveal tiny worlds of found form. \n\nSally Clegg: Sentimentary Rock\nSentimentary Rock is a composition of paint slag collected from the UMich rock monument at the corner of Washtenaw Avenue and Hill Street. This colorful composite material has been accumulating at the base of the iconic limestone boulder since the mid 1950’s\, when students began a tradition of painting it in acts of protest\, creativity\, and ritual\, sometimes multiple times per week. Akin to byproducts of industry such as “Fordite” (collectable chunks of automotive overspray sometimes called ‘Detroit agate’)\, Sentimentary Rock includes thousands of layers\, each dripped from a palimpsestic public proclamation. When processed\, sculpted\, sealed\, assembled\, and macro-photographed\, the result is this enlarged array of tiny gems\, intended to celebrate the indissoluble student voice. \n\nKim Karlsrud: What Amasses\nWhat Amasses is an assemblage of everyday found objects collected within the Miller Creek watershed\, an urbanized drainage system that encompasses much of the city of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Selected objects were immersed in a road salt solution\, allowing delicate crystalline formations to emerge. Road salt is a common material input into these hydrological networks during the winter months and exists in multiple states of refinement\, expression\, coherence\, and fragmentation. Each object was then arranged\, photographed\, and enlarged to recontextualize these materials in ways that invite deeper reflections on how infrastructure and human agency blur notions of the natural and the artificial. \nArtist Statements/Bios\n\nSally Clegg \nSally Clegg is an artist and educator from Pelham\, Massachusetts. Her studio practice is rooted in sculpture and expanded printmaking\, stemming from a fascination with human efforts to make meaning from our relationships to objects. Clegg integrates history\, popular culture\, literature and philosophy as material for artmaking\, leveraging personal anecdote and humor to reveal the complexity\, absurdity\, and theoretical richness at play in our connections to things and to ourselves. \n\nClegg holds an MFA in Art from The University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design\, and a BA in Art & English from Goucher College. She has exhibited nationally and internationally\, and her work can be found in permanent collections at Yale University\, The New York Public Library\, and elsewhere. Her artwork and writing has appeared in ASAP/Journal\, BOMB Magazine\, Sculpture Magazine\, and Hyperallergic. She is a lecturer in Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Website / Instagram\n\n\nKim Karlsrud \nKim Karlsrud is the co-founder of Commonstudio\, a collaborative creative practice that develops socio-ecological and spatial interventions\, installations\, and initiatives working with and within urban landscapes. Her work explores the space between art and design\, and is grounded in the concept of the “commons\,” that which is shared\, as well as that which is ordinary\, banal\, and commonplace.\n\nKarlsrud completed her undergraduate degree in Product Design from Otis College of Art and Design and an MFA in Art from the University of Michigan. She is currently an Assistant Visiting Professor in the College of Design at the University of Oregon\, teaching across Art and Landscape Architecture departments. She jointly received the 2014-15 Prince Charitable Trust Rome Prize in Landscape Architecture\, was a 2017 resident at the Headlands Center for the Arts\, and is the 2025-26 Fuller Fieldscape Fellow.
