SUMMARY:Exhibition:What We Tend: The 2026 MFA Graduate Thesis Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWhat We Tend: The 2026 MFA Thesis Exhibition is on view at the Stamps Gallery from March 20 — April 11\, 2026. The exhibition presents seven artists whose practices unfold through care—care for land\, for bodies\, for memory\, and for one another. Working across ritual\, non-linear time\, and intersectional inquiries into labor and domestic life\, these artists treat familial\, site-specific\, and sociopolitical histories as living structures rather than sealed archives. What We Tend features the work of MFA students River Forest Berry\, Michelle Cieloszczyk\, Zoë Dong\, Fiona Hoffer\, Michael ​“Modius Modi” King Jr.\, Michaela Nichelle\, and Sujay Saple.\n\nJoin us to celebrate the work of MFA graduate students at the Opening Reception on March 20 from 6 — 8 p.m. Refreshments will be served and artists will be present.\n\nPlease note: \n\nThroughout the exhibition\, visitors are encouraged to bring clean and empty aluminum cans to participate in Michaela Nichelle’s installation. \nThe exhibition will be closed to the public on Friday\, April 10.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Building Industry Partnerships Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Federal funding trends\, including from NSF\, DOE and ARPA agencies\, indicate increasing interest in translational research – supporting the pathways for fundamental discoveries to have broader societal\, economic or public impact. New funding programs might require researchers to demonstrate their research impact at the proposal stage through established partnerships with companies that signal market interest or investment\, formal commitments like licensing agreements\, and/or evidence of technology readiness levels. Researchers who build these industry partnerships in advance will have a critical edge in a competitive funding landscape.\n\nThe Office of Research Development will host a webinar series for U-M researchers that explains why and how to build industry partnerships that advance mutual R&D goals. Webinars will take place noon-1:30 pm each day\; calendar invites will be sent upon registration. \n\nFebruary 25: Discovery to Innovation - Gain a practical framework for deciding when to engage industry\, how to demonstrate impact credibly and which funding mechanisms align with research maturing and scholarly goals.\nMarch 26: Industry Engagement for Faculty: From Early Signals to Funded Partnerships - Learn meaningful engagement strategies across the research lifecycle\, emphasizing alignment with academic incentives\, research integrity and appropriate funding mechanisms. \nApril 9: Building Industry Partnerships that Last: Whom to Talk to\, What to Ask - Learn how to identify the right industry counterparts\, structure early conversations to surface meaningful research and translational opportunities and set expectations that can evolve into sustained collaboration.   \nContact RD-Support@umich.edu with questions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Powering Empire: Hydroelectricity and Highland Taiwan under Japanese Colonial Rule
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This lecture will be held in person in room 1010\, Weiser Hall. It will not be livestreamed or recorded.\n   \n   As the Japanese Empire expanded in the 1930s and 40s\, it sought to use hydroelectricity to transform colonial Taiwan into an industrial hub. This\, in turn\, relied upon controlling natural and societal conditions in remote mountain valleys. By exploring the consequences of these efforts\, this talk argues for seeing the material basis of Japanese expansion not just in extracted resources but in re-engineered landscapes and communities.\n   \n   John Kanbayashi is assistant professor of history and sociology of science at the University of Pennsylvania. His current book uses rivers and watersheds in Taiwan to understand how Japanese imperialism and its afterlives remade ecologies and societies. Other active research interests include climate science in Japan and agricultural colonization across the Japanese diaspora.\n\n*Accommodation: If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at sarachit@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.*
