SUMMARY:Exhibition:By Means of a Pencil
DESCRIPTION:October 9 – November 5\, 2025\nOpening Reception October 9\, 5:00-8:00 pm\nClosing Reception: November 2\, 2:00-5:00 pm\n\nThe U-M Duderstadt Center Gallery presents By Means of a Pencil a solo exhibition by artist and Stamps School of Art & Design LEO Lecturer I Nathan Byrne.\n\nBy Means of a Pencil brings together a body of work centered around the quirky and enigmatic Swiss author Robert Walser. In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s  mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able  to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EEB Tuesday Seminar Series - A holistic framework to assess plants\, pollinators\, and plant-pollinator interactions given novel herbicide exposure
DESCRIPTION:Description: Worldwide pollinator declines are a growing concern amid the scientific community and the public at large. While modern agricultural practices have been identified as a major factor contributing to the pollinator crisis\, most of the research on this topic has focused on the effects of insecticide use on pollinators. In contrast\, far less effort has been invested in trying to understand the possible downstream effects of herbicide use on pollinators via their effects on the plants upon which pollinators rely for floral resources. This oversight is especially alarming because herbicides surpass insecticides as the most highly-used class of pesticide in the world\, and instances of pollution from newly-adopted herbicides\, namely synthetic auxin (“auxinic”) herbicides\, are rising. Moreover\, my PhD work has shown that low dose exposures to auxinic herbicides can disrupt the growth and flowering of plant species commonly found in agroecosystems and the root mutualism between legumes and nitrogen-fixing rhizobial bacteria. Yet\, the effects on plant-pollinator mutualisms in field-realistic scenarios are just beginning to be understood. In this seminar\, I will present the main findings from my dissertation as well as preliminary results from my ongoing postdoctoral project\, which aims to assess the effects of novel auxinic herbicide exposure on plants\, pollinators\, and plant-pollinator interactions. In doing so\, we apply a holistic framework by investigating the impact of other relevant biotic factors present in agroecosystems (e.g. herbivores and soil microbes) that might also be important for mediating the consequences of herbicide exposure for plants and pollinators.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:First-Gen Celebration Week: Agency and Affirmation: Enhancing Support for our First-Gen Trailblazers” (a special session for university faculty\, staff and UM community
DESCRIPTION:With over 5\,000 first-generation college students at the University of Michigan\, there is a critical need for comprehensive support inside and outside the classroom. This interactive session will introduce the network of campus-wide resources for first-gens\, share practical strategies\, and inspire ongoing advocacy to help you champion first-generation student success. Join us for a special virtual training session facilitated by  First-Generation Gateway Program Director Terra Molengraff and College of Engineering Director of Access\, Opportunity\, and Student Success Joseph Ballard II to explore strategies to affirm and support first-generation college students on our campus.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys. These were not only fun to play with but also taught practical skills and moral lessons. Learn about familiar and unique toys and board games throughout American history in the William L. Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display. Visit the exhibit to participate in a scavenger hunt and win a prize!
