SUMMARY:Ceremony / Service:Alex's Great State Race: *What's Your 64?*
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, Alex's Great State Race is an annual 64-mile relay tradition where Army ROTC cadets from the University of Michigan (U-M) and Michigan State University (MSU) carry the official football between Ann Arbor and East Lansing ahead of their annual rivalry game.\n\nThis year\, Alex’s Great State Race is evolving its long-standing tradition. For more than a decade\, MSU and U-M ROTC cadets have honored the memory of Alex Powell by carrying a game ball 64 miles between the two campuses. Alex was an MSU student who was supported by MSU’s Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities (RCPD) while receiving medical care at the University of Michigan. Following Alex’s passing\, his parents\, Steve and Juliana Powell\, established the race to honor his memory and bring the two universities together in support of students with disabilities.\n\nThis year\, instead of one 64-mile challenge\, everyone is invited to choose their own 64. Your 64 can be physical\, but it absolutely does not have to be. It could be 64 minutes of reading about disability justice\, 64 acts of kindness\, 64 pages of a book\, 64 repetitions\, 64 laps—or a donation to a disability advocacy organization. The idea is that there is no single “right” way to complete a 64. Choose it. Do it. Share it. Pass it on.\n\nThe week leading up to the event will take place at the U-M Hadley Family Recreation & Well-Being Center and will highlight the many ways our community advances disability inclusion\, access\, and opportunity. We’ll be promoting SAAS services and resources alongside U-M’s competitive adaptive sports programs\, including wheelchair basketball\, wheelchair rugby\, wheelchair tennis\, adaptive track and field\, and para powerlifting. The week will culminate in a wheelchair basketball game at the Hadley Center that members of the university will be invited to watch and/or participate in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Comics Beyond Sight
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit covers a variety of creative approaches to comics visual accessibility\, and by extension visual accessibility broadly. Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Down in Ann Arbor Town: Pictorial Maps\, Campus Traditions\, and the Women Who Made Them
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of the iconic 1926 “Down in Ann Arbor Town” map by exploring the colorful history\, campus traditions\, and detailed artistry that made it possible. Created by Jessie Horton Koessler (Class of 1901) to help fund the Michigan League building for women\, this celebrated map provides a fascinating view into 1920s campus life and the women who shaped it. Through three distinct exhibit sections\, journey from the campus history that led to the map’s creation to a broader look at early 20th-century pictorial mapmaking.\n\nWhile enjoying the exhibit\, pick up a scavenger hunt at the Clark Library desk that will inspire you to notice whimsical details in the maps discussed. Return your scavenger hunt at the desk for a small prize\, while supplies last.\n\nJoin the curators — Ava Pustulka (’28) and Anna Rohl\, map curator at Clark Library — for a presentation on September 24 (https://myumi.ch/X8y3r)\, where they will share the research that went into creating the exhibit.
