SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Revealing what’s hidden: optical microscopy of plasmonic nanostructures
DESCRIPTION:Plasmonic nanoparticles have a unique ability to convert light to other forms of energy\, enabling applications as broad as biosensing\, nanomedicine\, (photo)electrocatalysis\, photothermal heating\, and more.  While colloidal syntheses are increasingly sophisticated\, even the best nanoparticle samples have inherent heterogeneity in the size and shape of the resulting structures\, leading to the need for single particle imaging strategies in order to tease out structure-function relationships. Typically\, however\, most correlated structure-function measurements are performed serially\, in which function is measured first\, followed by structure determination. This talk will introduce calcite-assisted localization and kinetics (CLocK) microscopy as a parallel\, rather than serial\, strategy for performing correlated structure-function measurements on single nanoparticles\, highlighting different strategies for obtaining structural information from all-optical images.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Cascading Crises and Prospects for Peace - H.R. McMaster
DESCRIPTION:The Ford School is pleased to present former national security advisor H. R. McMaster for the 7th annual Arthur Vandenberg Lecture. \n\nMcMaster will give his overview of of the many conflicts around the world\, the role the U.S. is playing and can play in the future\, and the prospects for peace\, followed by a conversation with professor of practice Javed Ali of the Weiser Diplomacy Center.\n\nFrom the speaker's bio:\nH. R. McMaster is the Fouad and Michelle Ajami Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution\, Stanford University.  He is also the Bernard and Susan Liautaud Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute and lecturer at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.  Upon graduation from the United States Military Academy in 1984\, McMaster served as a commissioned officer in the United States Army for thirty-four years.  He retired as a Lieutenant General in June 2018 after serving as the 25th assistant to the president for National Security Affairs. He holds a PhD in military history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  McMaster is the host of Battlegrounds: Vital Perspectives on Today’s Challenges and is a regular on GoodFellows\, both produced by the Hoover Institution. He is a Distinguished University Fellow at Arizona State University. \n\nAbout the Vandenberg Lecture:\nThe Meijer Family established the Vandenberg Fund in 2017 to honor U.S. Senator Arthur Vandenberg\, who served the State of Michigan in the U.S. Senate from 1928-1951. Senator Vandenberg forged bipartisan support for our country's most significant and enduring foreign policies of the twentieth century\, including the Truman Doctrine\, the Marshall Plan\, NATO and the creation of the United Nations. The Vandenberg Lecture Fund has since featured some of the world's leaders in foreign policy including U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Ambassador Samantha Power\, among others.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Exiting a Community-Engaged Project
DESCRIPTION:An important goal of community-engaged learning experiences is for students to have a positive\, humanizing\, and sustainable impact on the communities they work with. Students reaching the end of a community-engaged course or service project should prepare to exit a community with these goals in mind. In this interactive session\, students will explore what it means to exit a project sustainably\; discuss the outputs\, outcomes\, and impacts of their project\; identify important questions to ask their community partners in preparation for exiting a project\; and discuss and work on their exit plan.
