SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop for students that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\nhttps://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/19663

SUMMARY:Well-being:Heartfulness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Heartfulness Guided Meditation is a weekly\, drop-in program designed to help you Mental well-being. \n\nAll U-M students\, faculty\, and staff are welcome to participate in guided meditation practice with a trainer every Friday at noon over Zoom (details to join are provided below). No prior experience with meditation is required. \n\n*What will you learn?*\n\nThe guided meditation practice involves three simple steps: relaxation\, rejuvenation\, and meditation.\n\nRelaxation brings your body to a calm\, steady posture creating a stillness at the physical level\, and prepares the mind for meditation. We follow this with a rejuvenation method to detox the mind to let go of stress and complex emotions\, and will leave you feeling light and refreshed. Lastly\, learning to meditate by being mindful of your heart will connect you with yourself by listening to your heart’s voice. \n\n*Why Meditate?*\n\nWhile physical fitness keeps our bodies in shape\, meditation is an exercise for the mind and mental wellness. In addition to the measurable benefits mentally and physically\, many people benefit from an unquantifiable inner poise and harmony. \n\n*Please take Learn to Meditate session if you are new to the practice. These sessions are offered Monthly.* https://events.umich.edu/event/128708\n\n*Event Details*\n\nHeartfulness Guided Meditation \nFridays from 12-12:30 p.m. ET (except during university season days / holidays)\nJoin Via Zoom Meeting\nRegister to receive Passcode (see “Related links”\n\n\nThis wellness program is coordinated by ITS Teaching & Learning and provided at no cost by heartfulness.org.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Legacies: Contemporary Art Dialogues with Clay
DESCRIPTION:\n\nOn the occasion of the 2026 NCECA conference in Detroit\, Stamps Gallery presents an exhibition of new and recent work by diverse intergenerational artists working in clay locally and nationally. Collectively\, these works preserve and evolve age-old artistic traditions from weaving\, mark-making\, and pottery as contemporary forms of resistance and resilience\; recovery and regeneration that draw on diasporic and ancestral knowledge of world-building and translation.\n\nFeaturing work by Maya Davis\, Adebunmi Gbadebo\, Nicole Marroquin\, Marie Woo\, and Hedy Yang. Curated by Srimoyee Mitra.\n\nDDD Project Space\, 2857 East Grand Blvd Suite 104\, Detroit MI\n\nExhibition Dates and Hours: March 13 – 28\, 2026\n\nFri.\, March 13 and 20: 12—6 p.m.\nSat.\, March 14 and 21: 12—5 p.m.\nTue—Wed\, March 24—25: 11 a.m.—5 p.m.\nThu.\, March 26: 12—7 p.m.\nFri.\, March 27: 12—9 p.m.\nSat.\, March 28: 12—5 p.m.\n\nExhibition Reception: Fri.\, March 27\, 5:30 — 9 p.m.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:MCDB Seminar> Unlocking Circuits and Designing Cross-species tools  for Pain Discovery and Therapeutics
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will discuss key spinal neural circuitry underlying mechanical pain caused by trauma and disease\, a new organizational plan for how neuron subtypes that make up the dorsal horn should be defined across species and our use of machine learning together with multi-species multi-omics to engineer novel genetic tools for interrogating specific neuron subtypes across species and develop novel chronic pain therapies.    \n\nHost: Bo Duan

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Molecular Kinetics of Gene Regulation
DESCRIPTION:During embryonic development gene expression patterns progressively emerge as cell fates are determined and the embryo takes form. The emergence of these expression patterns is coincident with changes in the spatial distributions of transcription factors\, chromatin remodelers\, and transcriptional machinery within nuclei.  The mechanisms that drive these changes in spatial distributions and their functional implications are not well understood. I will discuss the application of high-resolution light-sheet microscopy and single-molecule tracking in live pre-implantation mouse embryos and blastoderm stage Drosophila embryos to understand the emergence and functional implications of nuclear protein distribution patterns during development.  I will show data and simulations on the molecular diffusion and binding kinetics that underlie the appearance of high-local concentrations of transcription factors\, repressive complexes\, and transcriptional machinery\, and the functional impact of these high-local concentrations on transcription regulation during development. Finally\, I will discuss how our new insights on how the molecular kinetics of regulatory nuclear proteins drive changes in their spatial distributions challenge current models of transcription regulation and nuclear organization.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:NERS Colloquium: The NERS Mural
DESCRIPTION:Michigan-based artist Devin J. Wright will present a talk exploring the NERS Mural\, a collaborative\, multi-year artwork located in the tunnel connecting the Cooley Building and the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project. The mural stands as a visual reflection of the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences\, highlighting its history\, values\, and forward-looking research through the lens of student creativity.\n\nThe NERS Mural is a living artwork composed of student-driven panels added annually through the NERS 250 Introduction to Nuclear Engineering course. Each panel is developed in close collaboration with sophomores\, who contribute their ideas through questionnaires\, group discussions\, and concept development workshops. Their perspectives shape the themes\, imagery\, and symbols that appear on the wall\, ensuring the mural is not only about the department\, but created by its community.\n\nWright will discuss the artistic process behind the mural\, including the decision for the panels to read from right to left in reference to Japanese narrative traditions. This design choice honors the department’s historical ties to Japan and underscores its global connections.\n\nThe talk will also highlight the origins of the project\, which was sparked by former department chair Todd Allen and realized through partnerships with NERS leadership and the University of Michigan Arts Initiative. Together\, the mural and its ongoing additions serve as a lasting expression of the intersection of art\, science\, and education within NERS.\n\nThe NERS Colloquia Series invites leading researchers\, industry experts\, and thought leaders from across the nuclear engineering and radiological sciences community to share their insights with students\, faculty\, and guests. Covering a wide range of topics—from cutting-edge research and emerging technologies to policy\, education\, and professional development—the weekly talks offer an opportunity to explore current issues and innovations shaping the future of the field.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Revolutionary Paine: Andy Murphy Student-Curated Class Exhibit Common Sense
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10\, 1776\, with an initial print run of just 1\,000 copies\; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8\, weekdays from 12-4 pm.
