SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FEAST (Faculty Engaged Arts + Student Teams) Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Interested in joining an interdisciplinary arts research team? Join the University of Michigan Arts Initiative for a FEAST Virtual Info Session to learn how students from across U-M can get involved in faculty-led arts research projects.\n\nFEAST (Faculty Engaged Arts + Student Teams) brings together undergraduate and graduate students from different disciplines to collaborate on faculty-led research projects that integrate the arts. Students contribute their own skills and perspectives to an interdisciplinary team while earning course credit for their participation.\n\nLearn more about the program and current projects recruiting here: https://arts.umich.edu/feast\n\nDuring this informal session\, we’ll introduce the FEAST program\, share current research opportunities\, explain how to apply and what participation involves\, and answer your questions about finding a project that fits your interests.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Guerline Jozef | 2026 Wallenberg Medal and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Guerline Jozef\, the co-founder and executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance\, will receive the 2026 Wallenberg Medal on Tuesday\, September 29th at 4:30PM in Rackham Auditorium. In keeping with the tradition of the Wallenberg Lecture\, Jozef will draw on her personal experience to share with the audience her understanding of how one person can make a difference.\n\nGuerline M. Jozef\, a servant leader rooted in faith\, is a globally recognized human rights advocate\, thought leader\, and strategist who has worked to transform the conversation on migration\, race\, and justice. Jozef is the executive director of the Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA)\, a Haitian-American-women-led organization serving immigrants\, with a particular focus on Black immigrants at the US-Mexico border and beyond. With the HBA\, she has built a movement that centers people of African descent in migration while amplifying the voices of the most marginalized. She is the creator of “Tales from the Borderlands and Beyond\,” and co-founder of both the Black Immigrants Bail Fund (BIBF) and the Cameroon Advocacy Network.\n\nHer influence has been recognized nationally and internationally. She was named one of the Washingtonian’s 500 Most Influential People of 2025\, one of Politico’s 40 Most Influential People on Race\, Politics\, and Policy of 2021\, and one of the BBC’s Top 100 Women of 2024. She was honored with the Afro-Caribbean Diaspora IMPACT Award from the Caribbean Philanthropic Alliance (CariPhil)\, the 2021 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award\, the AFL-CIO’s 2024 GMLK Human Rights Award\, the 2024 Haitian Impact Awards\, and the 2023 Midwin Charles Legacy Award from the 1804 Haitian Roundtable. She has been recognized by the Women’s Refugee Commission (Voices of Courage Award\, 2024)\, The Haitian Times (Newsmaker of the Year\, 2022)\, the National Haitian-American Elected Officials Network\, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association’s Arthur C. Helton Human Rights Award among others.\n\nMs. Jozef has been featured in Forbes\, The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Time Magazine\, The Miami Herald\, The Haitian Times\, Politico\, and DemocracyNow. She has testified before the United Nations\, the United States Congress\, and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR)\, and recently brought her advocacy to the international stage during the IV International Forum of Parlamentarians in Barranquilla\, Colombia. Guerline went to the border for Haitians—but she stayed for everyone seeking safety and protection. \n\n“Guerline Jozef is a powerful advocate for the dignity and rights of migrants who has linked the experience of migration at the US-Mexico border to global human rights movements. She works tirelessly to give voice to the marginalized and to shape a more just future for all\,” said Sioban Harlow\, chair of the Wallenberg Medal Executive Committee and Professor Emerita of Epidemiology\, Obstetrics and Gynecology\, and Global Public Health.\n\nFree and open to the public. Wheelchair and ADA accessible. ASL and CART provided.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.
