SUMMARY:Exhibition:Watcher of the Sky: Making and Remaking the Detroit Observatory
DESCRIPTION:The Detroit Observatory was once a hub of astronomical discovery that put the University of Michigan on the map as a world-class research institution. A century later\, it was an abandoned building with an uncertain future. From cornerstone to keystone\, from the first director to the people who saved it from destruction\, explore the life of a historic observatory 170 years in the making.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is being developed by student docents at the Detroit Observatory. Presented by the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory\, part of the Bentley Historical Library.\n\n\"Watcher of the Sky\" is now on display at the Detroit Observatory (1398 Ann Street\, Ann Arbor\, 48109). View the exhibit during the Observatory's open hours:\nThursdays\, 12-5 pm\nFridays\, 12-5 pm

SUMMARY:Performance:Division Street Pipes
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a 30-minute organ recital performed by Oliver Steissberg\, master's degree student in sacred music.\n\nDivision Street Pipes concerts features talented students and faculty of the U-M Organ Department on Thursdays at 12:15pm on the Richards-Fowkes organ at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. These 30-minute performances are free and open to the public\, and audience members are invited to enjoy their lunch while listening. \n\nThe series is co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Organ Department and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in an effort to bring organ music to local audiences while connecting U-M organ students with the wider community. Concerts offer attendees the opportunity to hear the versatility of the pipe organ beyond a worship setting. The Winter 2026 concert series begins on January 15 and it will continue weekly through April 16 (with the exception of April 2).

SUMMARY:Performance:Tiffany Ng\, carillon
DESCRIPTION:University Carillonist Tiffany Ng performs on the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Carillon\, an instrument of 60 bells with the lowest bell (bourdon) weighing 6 tons.\n\nThirty-minute recitals are performed on the Lurie Carillon every weekday that classes are in session. During these recitals\, visitors may take the elevator to level 2 to view the largest bells\, or to level 3 to see the carillonist performing. (Visitors subject to acrophobia are recommended to visit level 2 only.) An optional spiral stairway between levels 2 and 3 allows for up-close views of some of the largest bells.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Bounding HSL Numbers: A Measure of the Nilpotency of Frobenius
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This thesis provides upper bounds for a certain singularity invariant\, in the case where the underlying ring is in one of a few well-known classes of rings. The Hartshorne-Speiser-Lyubeznik number or HSL number of a Noetherian local (or graded) ring is a measure of the nilpotency of Frobenius on local cohomology with support at the (homogeneous) maximal ideal. It is known that the HSL number of such a ring is finite\, but it is not known in general how to compute the HSL number for any given ring. In this thesis we present computable upper bounds for the HSL numbers of semigroup rings\, toric face rings\, and quotients of polynomial rings by monomial ideals\, and compute the exact HSL number of monomial hypersurfaces. We also relate the HSL number of a ring to the HSL number of its reduction\, provide Macaulay2 code to compute HSL numbers of quotients of polynomial rings\, and discuss the application of our results to bounding Frobenius test exponents.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Classroom Activities for Engaging with Politics\, Policy\, & Social Issues
DESCRIPTION:Across the disciplines\, we can help our students to build skills for civic and democratic engagement that will serve them throughout their careers and lives. This role can be challenging\, however\, particularly in politically polarized times. Our goal for this in-person\, interactive workshop is to strengthen instructors’ toolkits for incorporating civic skills-building in the classroom and discipline. We’ll explore specific classroom activities for class sessions discussing policy\, politics\, and social issues\, such as deliberative dialogue discussions and conversation cafes. We’ll focus on how to select and design activities well-suited for the specific skills we are seeking to foster during a class period.  \n\nOpen to faculty\, staff\, admin\, GSIs\, and post-docs. \nThis session is offered as part of the Promoting Democracy Teaching Series\, co-sponsored by CRLT and Ginsberg Center.\n\nRegistration: https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/track/event/session/105958

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899: Sjaan Koppel
DESCRIPTION:This presentation examines older driver safety through a behavioural science lens\, challenging the assumption that chronological age alone defines driving risk. Drawing on longitudinal\, naturalistic driving evidence\, it highlights the roles of functional capacity\, task demands\, and self-regulation in shaping real-world driving behaviour. The findings have important implications for assessment\, licensing policy\, and supporting safe mobility in an ageing population.
