SUMMARY:Presentation:Peer Writing Program Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Information session for students interested in applying to the Peer Writing Program.\n\nThe Sweetland Peer Writing Program provides undergraduate students from across the University with an opportunity to assist fellow U-M undergrads with their writing. Sweetland-trained peer writing consultants offer consulting at our Peer Writing Center.\n\nThe Peer Writing Program is an excellent way for undergraduate students from across the University to get involved in consulting with their peers about written communication. Becoming a writing consultant gives you the opportunity to work with others on their writing\, enjoying conversations about interesting topics\, helping to solve writing challenges\, and supporting effective writing processes. Once writing consultants enter the job market or go to graduate school\, many of them find that the program has given them important experience relating to people\, working collaboratively\, and engaging in rigorous thinking.\n\nApplications are accepted once a year in the Fall term. Accepted students enroll in Writing 300: Seminar in Peer Writing Consultation the following Winter which trains them to become theoretically informed and well-practiced Peer Writing Consultants. Students who excel in Writing 300 are invited to join the Peer Writing Program as paid consultants and enroll in WRITING 301: Practicum in Peer Writing Consultation. After completing 301\, students may be asked to continue on as consultants.\n\nPlease note: In order to apply\, students must have completed or be currently enrolled in a first-year college writing course. Students may also apply if they obtained first-year college writing exemption for credits already earned when they enrolled at U-M.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Shane Ward
DESCRIPTION:\n\nRaised on Detroit’s west side as one of seven children\, Shane Ward’s path to global design leadership was anything but conventional. A full academic scholarship to the University of Michigan opened doors that introduced him to the transformative power of imagination\, creativity\, and design. What began as a passion for drawing\, storytelling\, and community evolved into a career spanning more than three decades in the footwear industry\, ultimately leading to design leadership roles with some of the world’s most influential brands.\n\nAfter graduating from the University of Michigan\, Ward began his career with Adidas in Portland\, Oregon\, where he also developed a lifelong appreciation for the outdoors. Over the years\, he has designed footwear for brands including Puma\, Converse\, Keen/Fila\, Rockport\, and G.H. Bass.\n\nTogether with his identical twin brother\, Ward co-founded DETNY by Shane & Shawn\, serving as creative director for the men’s and women’s footwear line. The collection was carried by Nordstrom and Macy’s and featured in its own boutique in New York City’s Nolita neighborhood. Beyond footwear\, Ward has expanded his creative practice through large-scale paintings that reflect his love of sneaker culture and the natural world. His ongoing Metamorphosis series explores the intersection of fashion\, identity\, and impermanence through iconic sneaker silhouettes layered with cherry blossoms and butterflies. The paintings contrast the fleeting nature of sneaker trends with the enduring cultural legacy of classic designs\, using these instantly recognizable forms to examine themes of time\, memory\, social status\, and our shared perceptions of style and performance. Like the blossoms and butterflies that drift beyond our control\, the works suggest that while fashion and life are transient\, a rare few ideas and objects leave an indelible mark across generations.\n\nToday\, Ward serves as design director of footwear at Adidas\, where he leads the design team for Originals Running. His journey continues to shape his belief that design is fundamentally about optimism\, possibility\, and expanding what individuals believe is achievable for themselves and their communities.\n\nWith support from Design Core Detroit and Detroit Unesco City of Design. \n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS\, ALL ARTS\, and PBS Books. Media partner: Michigan Public.\n
