SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Radical and Bioinspired Approaches in Main Group and Transition Metal Catalysis
DESCRIPTION:The advancement of non-precious metal catalysis depends critically on discovering new reaction pathways and harnessing unusual oxidation states of earth-abundant metals. In this seminar\, I will describe our recent work in two areas: (a) the rational design of molybdenum-based catalysts inspired by biological C–H hydroxylases\, and (b) the exploration of aluminum(II) chemistry for small molecule activation.\n\nIn the first part\, I will outline our efforts to develop structural and functional mimics of Mo-dependent hydroxylases such as xanthine oxidase and ethylbenzene dehydrogenase. These studies aim to generate catalysts that can hydroxylate C–H bonds in complex molecules with complementary site selectivity to existing technologies.\n\nIn the second part\, I will highlight our discovery of Al–Fe bond homolysis in heterobimetallic complexes as a route to Al-based radicals—formally Al(II) species—that exploit strain-induced biphilicity or redox non-innocence. These properties enable new pathways for small molecule activation. I will also discuss our use of data science tools to guide the development of catalytic C–O bond functionalization reactions involving radical mechanisms.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Emerging Issues Lecture. Why Greenland Matters Now
DESCRIPTION:Greenland and the wider circumpolar Arctic are no longer peripheral concerns to observers of geopolitics\, but are now central sites of geopolitical\, economic\, and environmental contestation. Focusing on Greenland\, the lecture traces how debates over military basing\, mineral extraction\, Indigenous self-determination\, and environmental protection have become tightly intertwined. These overlapping pressures have produced new frictions between Washington\, Copenhagen\, Brussels\, and Nuuk\, revealing that Arctic security today is not only about hard security\, but also about trade\, governance\, and competing visions of identity and sovereignty. The lecture will situate the current drama on Greenland in the context of changes in Arctic security as a whole. The lecture will show that Greenland offers a critical lens through which to understand broader shifts in Arctic order: how alliances adapt\, how local actors navigate external pressures\, and how environmental change is transforming what “security” means in the twenty-first-century Arctic.\n\nDr. Gabriella Gricius is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Konstanz and a Fellow and the Media Coordinator with the North American and Arctic Defence and Security Network (NAADSN). She is also a Senior Fellow at the Arctic Institute. At the University of Konstanz\, she is currently working on Nordic security community formation and hybrid threats in the European Arctic region.\n   \n   She received her PhD from Colorado State University's Political Science Department where her dissertation explored the prevalence of low-tension discourse in Greenland\, Svalbard\, the Northern Sea Route\, and the Northwest Passage. Her writing is published in Foreign Policy\, International Politics\, European Security\, amongst other outlets\, and she has also been interviewed by BBC\, the New York Times\, and other major news outlets.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student Analysis Seminar: Geometric Flows of Hypersurfaces and Applications
DESCRIPTION:We will start by defining a general class of geometric flows in which there is local existence. We will then focus on specific flows to discuss global behavior and applications. This will serve as an overview meant to motivate the utility of these geometric flows.\n\nThis will include (with time-permitting) the following topics:\n\n- Mean curvature flow and the topological characterization of 2-convex closed hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. \n- Gauss curvature flow as a physical model for stone tumbling.\n- Inverse mean curvature flow and the Riemannian Penrose inequality in general relativity. \n\nSome knowledge of Riemannian geometry will be assumed.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Ultimate Financial Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Dinner provided! Registration is required for food planning purposes. \n\n***Doors open 4:45\, programming begins promptly at 5:00pm.***\n\nWe all know about the importance of self-care\, but have you ever thought about financial self-care? Financial self-care is any individual act that helps you feel better about your relationship with money\, including dealing with the emotions and feelings that come up when you interact with money. This workshop integrates group interaction\, staff guidance\, and video instruction featuring Financial Therapist\, Lindsay Bryan-Podvin\, for a comprehensive learning experience. You’ll learn how to identify what uncomfortable feelings arise when you engage with money\, get curious about where they come from\, learn how to find more emotional resilience and brainstorm ways to practice financial self-care with your peers.\n\nRecommended order to take workshops:\n\n    1 – Your Money Story\n    2 – Making Confident Financial Decisions\n    3 – Ultimate Financial Wellness\n    4 – Caring for Your$elf\n    5 – Be The Boss of Your Finances\n\nRSVP for Financial Empowerment workshops here: myumi.ch/8r6kq
