In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886780@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251115T063204 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T132000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Director's Seminar Resume Workshop DESCRIPTION:Talk with directing students about various types of resumes.

High-elevation\, montane places\, in particular\, are being strongly impacted by warming temperatures\, changing snowmelt\, and species invasion. Though these global change processes are happening simultaneously\, we know little about how they will interact to impact carbon cycling across different temporal scales. My dissertation addresses this research gap with three interrelated field experiments in montane meadows of Colorado and New Zealand. First\, I worked in a long-term warming and dominant species removal experiment set at two elevations to measure how warming and dominant species removal impact subdominant plant biomass and the rate of biomass change across a growing season. Warming decreased subdominant plant biomass\, and dominant species removal increased subdominant plant biomass at both elevations\, consistently across the growing season. Biomass differences manifested in the first week of the growing season and persisted throughout the growing season\, with no treatment effects on the growth rate of the plants\, suggesting that early-season biomass conditions are important in determining overall plant biomass. Next\, I investigated how warming interacted with an invasive dominant species to impact carbon cycling across the growing season in a montane grassland in New Zealand. Removal of the invasive dominant species reduced the productivity of the system\, reducing the strength of the carbon sink. Though warming did not impact the productivity of the invaded plots\, warming increased the productivity of the native plant community\, suggesting that the native plant community could play an important role in maintaining productivity in future\, warmer climate scenarios. Finally\, I investigated how a shift in the early-season abiotic conditions\, earlier snowmelt\, might impact carbon cycling across the growing season in a montane meadow in Colorado. Earlier snowmelt increased the strength of the carbon sink\, though unequally throughout the growing season. With earlier snowmelt\, the growing season started earlier and increased carbon uptake through peak season. However\, the late season had a weaker carbon sink\, likely due to the earlier soil drying. Taken together\, my dissertation reveals the many ways global change is likely to impact carbon cycling across temporal scales in highly sensitive montane environments.

It functions as a managerial instrument of workplace governance within large and complex organizations. I develop the concept of orchestrated racialized displacement to specify how organizations transform legal status vulnerability into managerial control under a race-neutral compliance veneer. Based on a multiyear ethnography of Southern manufacturing\, nearly 300 interviews\, and archival research\, I trace four interlocking levers: (1) staffing agency partnerships\, (2) selective verification\, (3) performance metrics that reward speed and compliance\, and (4) job redesign. Together\, these practices are deployed to recruit and retain Latino immigrant workers without federal work authorization and establish a credible threat regime that reallocates tasks\, shifts\, and promotions\; discipline U.S.-born workers\; and narrow mobility ladders\, with disproportionate effects on Black workers. By linking shopfloor routines to organizational partnerships and local labor markets\, the analysis clarifies why standard accounts (network effects\, “race-neutral” HR\, or shifts in demand) are incomplete. The framework identifies the organizational levers\, rather than just the outcomes\, through which firms remake internal labor markets. It also formalizes a meso-level account connecting managerial practice to durable segmentation.

The changes in the grain and grain boundary structure of polycrystals highly influence the material’s properties\, including\, but not limited to\, electrical\, mechanical\, optical\, and thermal. Thus\, one of the central problems in materials science is to design technologies capable of delivering an arrangement of grains that produces a desired set of material properties.\n\nA method by which the grain structure can be engineered in polycrystalline materials is through grain growth (coarsening) of a starting structure. The evolution of the grain/grain boundary structure and associated grain growth is a very complex\, multiscale\, and multiphysics process. It involves\, for example\, the dynamics of grain boundaries\, triple junctions in 2D (triple curves/lines and quadruple points in 3D)\, and the dynamics of lattice misorientations. Therefore\, grain growth can be regarded as the anisotropic evolution of a large cellular network and can be described by a set of deterministic local evolution laws for the growth of individual grains combined with stochastic models for the interaction between them. In this talk\, we will present recent perspectives on mathematical modeling\, numerical simulation\, and mathematical analysis of the evolution of the grain boundary network in polycrystalline microstructures. Relevant recent experiments\, along with current and future research\, will be discussed as well.\n\nPart of this talk is based on the recent collaboration/work with Katayun Barmak\, Batuhan Bayir\, William M Feldman\, David Kinderlehrer\, Chang (Kamala) Liu\, Chun Liu\, Masashi Mizuno\, Thuong Nguyen\, Matthew Patrick\, and Jeffrey Rickman\, and is partially supported by the DMREF program under DMS-2118172 Award and the Simons Foundation Fellowship Award SFI-MPS-SFM-00010667.\n\nContact: Selim Esedoglu UID:135813-21877296@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/135813 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1084 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251001T135745 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T180000 SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:ASC Fall 2025 UMAPS Research Colloquium Series DESCRIPTION:This series features the Fall 2025 UMAPS fellows and their scholarly work.

Graham and Pollack showed that the determinant of D satisfies an identity that depends only on surprisingly little information of the given tree. I will explain how this identity generalizes to a combinatorial expression for the determinant of any principal submatrix of D. This new identity involves counts of spanning forests and is proved by use of potential-theoretic concepts on graphs. This generalizes further to a determinant identity for effective resistance matrices on an arbitrary finite graph. I will mention a connection to the ultra-log-concave version of Mason's conjecture\, and a strengthening for the graphic case.\n\nThis is joint work with Farbod Shokrieh and Chenxi Wu. https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.11488 UID:138702-21883638@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/138702 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 4096 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251030T100053 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T160000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:HET Seminar | Huge Operators in AdS/CFT and Matrix Models DESCRIPTION:Tbd UID:137252-21879996@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137252 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:High Energy Theory Seminar,Lecture,Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251027T003921 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T160000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Singular Cohomology of Singular Hypersurfaces DESCRIPTION:TBD UID:141168-21888277@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141168 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 2866 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260518T092015 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251031T154500 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sky Tonight DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks.

Fossils provide a critical temporal element to macroevolutionary studies\, allowing us to strengthen phylogenetic inferences\, document morphological change through time\, and directly calibrate divergence events. My past research lies at the intersection of phylogeny\, phenotype\, and time\, relying extensively on fossil specimens to detect patterns of morphological change over deep time. In one study\, using tetraodontiform fishes (pufferfishes and relatives) as a model system\, I combined phylogenomic data\, paleoclimatic records\, and body size measurements from living and fossil species to test long-standing macroevolutionary hypotheses of body size evolution. These analyses revealed that increasing body size correlates with cooling ocean temperatures through time\, providing strong support for both Bergmann’s and Cope’s rules in marine fishes. In another study\, I used 3D morphological data from exceptionally preserved fossil jaws of early bony fishes (423–359 Ma) to uncover an adaptive radiation that was driven primarily by lungfishes and coelacanths\, standing in contrast to their “living fossil” descendants of today. Together\, these studies highlight how fossils capture often unseen evolutionary dynamics and underscore the importance of paleontological data for understanding evolutionary diversification.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

The SEC aims to create new and exciting opportunities for undergrads to develop their skills in exhibition-making and installations. \nExhibition Statement\nIn the midst of contemporary chaos there is a quieter\, more isolated struggle to find meaning. As we pursue consistency within our own art making practices\, we must nurture our yearnings for a sustainable community. Fleeting connections can be found in the in-betweens of time and space—cooking with others\, commuting\, etc.\nThe Eye of the Storm is an exhibition demonstrating various forms of individual and collective peacemaking and resistance. This show explores the ways we use creative rituals within the private and public spheres: exploring self identity\, advocating for justice\, fostering care for others and social bonding. The selected artworks reflect each artist's way of staying in motion and/or finding calm amidst complicated or difficult times. \nThis exhibition is organized and juried by SEC student curators Hana Ichikawa\, BFA '26 (lead)\; Urvi Joshi\, BA '26\; Elsie Rogers\, BFA '27\; Jacqueline Vinson\, BFA '27\; and Maggie Watson\, BFA '26. \nThe Eye of the Storm will be on display in the Stamps Gallery atrium from October 17 - November 1\, 2025\, and features work by the following Stamps students:\nSage Booth\, BFA '28Rachel DeVeyra\, BFA '26McKenna Finn\, BA '26Reese Ford\, BFA '26Abigail Garcia\, BFA '27Erin Malone\, BFA '27Summer Mansi\, BFA '27Margaret (Mags) McKinney\, BFA '28Ava Muntner\, BFA '27Mia Noel\, BFA '28Eliana Pettigrew\, BFA '26Oliver Lee St Cyr\, BFA '26Jesse Strohauer\, BFA '28 UID:137209-21879959@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137209 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251003T181516 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251101T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251101T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Untold Stories\, Part II: A Stamps Faculty Exhibition DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: September 12 - December 13Opening Reception: September 18\, 6:30-8:30 p.m.\nUntold Stories: Part II is the second in a series of three exhibitions featuring the work of faculty members from the Stamps School of Art &\; Design.

Studios\, directed by Sally Clegg (Lecturer III and Student Exhibition Coordinator\, MFA ’20) and Abhishek Narula (MFA ’20)\; and Sometimes Space\, directed by Nathan Byrne (Lecturer I\, MFA ’21). Each space hosts dozens of artists annually for exhibitions\, performances\, and events\, fostering experimental work and building community. For this project\, Byrne\, Clegg\, and Narula have been commissioned to reimagine the pillars on Division Street that flank the gallery. In response\, they've curated six artists to create new work for the pillars over three cycles:\nPhase 1 (September 12 - December 12) artists: Amelia Burns (Cranbrook MFA '23) and Erin McKenna (MFA '20)Phase 2 (January 12 - April 12) artists: Sally Clegg (MFA '20) and Kim Karlsrud (MFA '20)Phase 3 (May 12 - August 12) artists: Abhishek Narula (MFA '20) and Nathan Byrne (MFA '21)\nPhase 1 Curatorial Statement\nCurated by Sometimes Space: Amelia Burns (entry pillar)Curated by CYNK Studios: Erin McKenna (courtyard pillar)\nArtists Amelia Burns and Erin McKenna reimagine the Division Street pillars through digital collages rooted in memory\, landscape and shared environments. Burns arranges fragments of her own photographs into airy compositions where these pictorial remnants become enshrined by the artist’s vision of the sacred. McKenna draws from the language of quilting\, organizing her photos of mushrooms\, moss and lichen into vibrant geometric patterns which echo Ohio textile traditions. Both artists\, Midwestern women attentive to the nuances of place\, weave personal imagery into collective meaning. Together\, their works create spaces of reverence and connection.\nAmelia Burns: GODSPROMISESRISINGHIGHGODSPROMISESRISINGHIGH contains fragments of photographs I have made over years in various locations in the United States. Each fragment holds personal meaning for me. The exalted pieces of environments float together and create a visual smorgasbord of symbols\, denoting a capitalist world\, filled with tender moments and connections\, where all objects are made holy.\nErin McKenna: Mushroom TrailMushroom Trail reimagines the Ohio Star quilt block through a collage of photographs of mushrooms\, lichen\, and moss gathered during walks in my Appalachian forest home. I created small blocks of repeating patterns to build texture and color. Inspired by the Barn Quilt Trail\, the work honors Ohio’s yard art traditions. Like other local expressions\, from chainsaw-carved bears to the front porch goose\, it fosters a shared sense of pride of place\, and community.\nArtist Statements/Bios\nAmelia BurnsThrough my travels across nearly every U.S. state\, I document not only the natural world but also its entanglement with human influence. My work speaks to the loneliness\, humor\, beauty\, pain\, and joy that coexist within these spaces. The landscapes I create—whether photographic or collage-based—are imbued with a visceral connection to the physical environments I’ve passed through. They are a reprocessing of the cultural detritus that surrounds me\, transforming fragments into vignettes that explore both the darkness and resilience of humanity.\nAt its core\, my work explores the underworld of human experience\, grappling with the visceral tension between authenticity and artifice in contemporary Americana. It reflects the disgusting horror of capitalism\, the mysticism of my Irish Catholic upbringing\, and the profound solitude that fuels my process. The resulting images are landscapes of seeking\, filled with the pain\, glory\, and quiet resistance of life.\nAmelia Burns is a photographer\, collage artist\, curator and educator exploring the cultural and physical landscapes of the U.S.\, capturing the nuances of shared environments. She earned her BFA in Photography from Pratt Institute in 2005 and later completed her MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2023. Website / Instagram\nErin McKenna Erin McKenna is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in sculpture. Her practice embraces humor\, playful misuse\, and celebration as strategies to dismantle stereotypes and complicate binaries of construction and embellishment. With a feminist lens\, she explores the space where necessity meets excess\, highlighting the subversive potential of both. Her sculptures often pair gritty building materials with tactile fabrics\, generating tension between utility and ornament. Growing up in a perpetually unfinished home—a place of sawdust\, chop saws\, and improvisation—instilled in her a respect for visible labor\, inventive problem-solving\, and imperfection. Her process follows personal rules:\nno hierarchy of materialssubvert expected usecomplicate binaries\, stereotypes and associationsmisuse\, misapplyallow for variable arrangementsrepeat\, reiterate\, reuseconsider the subversive possibilities of the excessive\, fantastic\, and necessaryalways let the labor be visible\nMcKenna earned her BFA from Columbus College of Art &\; Design in 2012 and later completed her MFA at Stamps School of Art &\; Design at the University of Michigan. She recently moved back to the forest she calls home in Southeastern Ohio\, where she serves as Exhibitions Director at The Dairy Barn Arts Center\, hunts for mushrooms with her toddler\, and makes quilts.

With the support of the Chamber Music Guest Artist Mentor Residency\, Schönberg scholar and violist\, Henk Guittart\, has worked extensively with the Telegraph Quartet and our guest artists to present the works on this program.\n\nWe'll explore two monumental works by the founder of that school\, Arnold Schönberg\, that span the full breadth of his musical journey – first with an early work form 1899\, his late-romantic and deeply expressive *Verklärte Nacht* or \"Transfigured Night\,\" a tone poem for string sextet inspired by the poem of the same name by Richard Dehmel. On the other side of his career\, the *Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte* of 1942 is a dramatic chamber music recitation\, setting Lord Byron's eponymous poem lambasting Napoleon's tyranny and defeat\, but intended by Schönberg to be a defiant statement against at the despotism and horror of Hitler's tyranny. Starting the program will be the dazzling and colorful String Quartet No. 3 by Jamaican-British composer Eleanor Alberga\, who in this specific work\, experimented with the 12-tone method invented by Arnold Schönberg\, melding that musical vocabulary into her own deeply individual aesthetic and adding yet another unique voice at the end of the century to a style that would become utterly pervasive during the 20th century.\n\nPROGRAM\nEleanor Alberga - String Quartet No. 3\nArnold Schönberg - *Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte* for String Quartet\, Piano and Reciter\n-intermission-\nArnold Schönberg - *Verklärte Nacht* for String Sextet\n\nThe award-winning Telegraph String Quartet – featuring Eric Chin and Joseph Maile (violins)\, Pei-Ling Lin (viola)\, and Jeremiah Shaw (cello) – is engaged in a three-year artist residency at the U-M School of Music\, Theatre & Dance.\n\nABOUT THE ENSEMBLE:\n\nhttps://www.telegraphquartet.com UID:137865-21880927@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/137865 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Faculty,Free,Music,North Campus LOCATION:Earl V.

Inspired by the existential absurdity of being alive\, the failures of assigned roles\, and the blurred boundaries between play and performance\, the work explores the combustible territory between childhood imagination\, adult consequence\, and theatrical illusion.\n\nWhat does it mean when children play at war\, or love\, or death – enacting dramas they barely understand? And what happens when those same dramas become real\, lived\, or staged? Is the stage any less real than the battlefield\, the bedroom\, or the family dinner table? THE LONG FALL lives in this surreal overlap\, where innocence and impact are tangled\, where performance is both survival and surrender.\n\nSet against an original electronic score by Marshall Chadbourne\, the myth of the American mission – of family\, of purpose\, of safety – fractures. No promise can truly be kept. No victory comes without shadow. And still\, we try. We fail. We try again. Our lives tumble forward in the chaotic current of time\, and even as we fall through space\, we brazenly and optimistically reach for one another. These exquisite moments of connection\, caught between descent and delay\, are the flashes of meaning against all odds.\n\nMy process begins with the body. Behavior that rises into high physicality becomes a portal into the surreal\, emotional\, and mythic. The pressure between bodies becomes a kind of truth-teller. The audience is present – not just as observers\, but as witnesses\, co-dreamers\, and sometimes accomplices.\n\nCreation is collaborative\, volatile\, and alive. I bring movement\, text\, images\, themes\, and tasks\; the ensemble brings their interpretations – wild\, grounded\, broken\, ecstatic. We construct a world from fragments and contradictions. A world that drifts between war-torn realities and absurd dream-states. Where the nuclear family is both icon and ruin. Where love is earnest and unspeakable. Where we fail beautifully\, collapsing forward\, haunted and held.\n\nTHE LONG FALL does not seek to tell a linear story\, but to inhabit a state – a falling\, looping\, breaking\, trying. It is a meditation on fragile persistence\, on the way human beings continue inside impossible conditions. How even when the promise has been broken\, the mission has failed\, the family has splintered\, we keep playing. Over and over\, bending time into childlike loops: Are we there yet?\n\nCAST & COLLABORATORS\nConcept and Direction: Shannon Gillen\nChoreography: Jason Cianciulli and Shannon Gillen\, in collaboration with the performers\nChoreographic Assistant: Katherine Kiessling\nPerformance: Jason Cianciulli\, Tzveta Kassabova\, Katherine Kiessling\, and Samy Navarez\nGuest Performance: Ruby Clay\, Audrey De Guia\, Emerson Forbes\, Leah Kropp\, Rachel McNaughton\, Ava Menzel\, Melisa Orduna\, Olga Rabetskaya\, Jessica Serres\, Caitlyn Wade\, Angelica White\nSound Score: Marshall Chadbourne with voice over by Sasha Lipinski\nLighting Design: Jess Fialko\nSet Design: Jungah Han\nOriginal Text: Shannon Gillen with excerpts from Beckett's 'Happy Days'\nBackstage Operations Manager: Tiff Crutchfield UID:139759-21886012@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139759 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Dance,Faculty,Free,Music,North Campus,Theater LOCATION:Walgreen Drama Center - Arthur Miller Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251013T121648 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251101T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251101T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:Alan Cook\, multiple winds DESCRIPTION:Graduate student in wind instruments Alan Cook performs a final masters degree recital.

Created by\, and starring Robbie Schaefer and Danielle Wertz\, the cabaret-style performance traverses decades alongside songs such as A Case of You\, Hallelujah\, Big Yellow Taxi\, Suzanne\, and many more. Both Sides Now is at once a piece of the 60’s and 70’s\, and of right now -- offering us a story about the messiness of being human\, of lives persistently lived at the edge of growth\, and of finding the courage to turn toward one another\, again and again.\n\nRobbie Schaefer:\nRobbie is a rabbi\, singer-songwriter and theatre/film artist. The guitarist and songwriter for the indie folk band Eddie From Ohio has several solo releases as well\, including the 2023 single Under the Sun.\n\nHe is currently at work on a new musical\, The Blue Poppy\, an Irish-Jewish ghost story written in collaboration with Scottish playwright Grace Barnes\, and Songs From The Wilderness\, a new album of Jewish musical midrash (interpretation)\, due for release in early 2026. \n\nDanielle Wertz:\nDanielle is a storyteller\, collaborator\, jazz musician\, composer and arranger. After being named a 2015 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition semi-finalist\, Danielle independently released her debut album\, Intertwined\, which ranked #4 on Capital Bop's list of \"Best DC Jazz Albums of 2017.\" That same year she placed 2nd in the Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition and 3rd in the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Vocal Competition.\n\nIn 2023 Danielle released her sophomore album\, Other Side. With this project she made a quantum leap as a composer and conceptualist. The album pairs her original compositions with carefully crafted arrangements of standards from the Great American Songbook. Jazziz called the album “expressive and polished” and Jazz Weekly noticed a “Joni Mitchell’d tenderness to her material.” UID:136465-21878743@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/136465 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251010T145645 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251101T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251101T220000 SUMMARY:Performance:Rocky Horror Picture Show RCP Shadowcast DESCRIPTION:Join us for the classic Residential College Players tradition of the Rocky Horror Picture Show Shadowcast!

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

In 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment.

In this exhibition poetic gestures and nods to Walser are able to flourish as visual forms and objects. The work comprises spontaneous and excessively durational works of drawing\, collage\, and sculpture.\n\nFor years\, I have been intrigued by the author Robert Walser’s mark making which he referred to as his “pencil method” where he would sketch out stories in a radically miniaturized script on diminutive paper fragments. Walser’s pencil method began when he was experiencing severe writer’s cramp and: “hideously and frightfully hated his pen.” He goes on in a letter written in 1927 describing the freeing nature of this process: “I suffered a real breakdown in my hand on account of the pen\, a sort of cramp from whose clutches I slowly\, laboriously freed myself by means of the pencil.”\n\nJust as it was with Walser “by means of a pencil” I was able to make peace with drawing by radically altering the process by which I approached the act itself. Eventually\, this became processes like my transcription drawings\, in which I write out an entire novel as a form of mark making.\n\nWhile this exhibition mines the Walser archive and the spirit of this author\, this work is just as much about me and my immersion in this “world of Walser.” It is about my own engagement with relationships between language and mark making\, language and sculpture\, language and longing.\n\nThis project was made possible by the generous support of Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan.\n\nPoster design by Sky Christoph.\n\nHours: 12 – 6 pm\, Tues. – Fri. & Sun.\n\nLocation: 2281 Bonisteel Blvd\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109 UID:140228-21886782@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/140228 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Arts Initiative,Exhibition,Visual Arts LOCATION:Duderstadt Center - Gallery 1019 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260324T094536 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251102T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251102T160000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Creating the Future of Medicine for 175 Years DESCRIPTION:As the Medical School celebrates the anniversary of its opening in the fall of 1850\, and Michigan Medicine marks the 100th anniversary of the opening of the \"Old Main\" University Hospital that served as its flagship from 1925 to 1986\, a free museum exhibit explores 175 years of medical education\, research and clinical care. \n\nOpen to the public at the Museum on Main Street operated by the Washtenaw County Historical Society\, the exhibit includes artifacts\, photos and facts about how U-M's medical community grew from humble beginnings on the Diag to become one of the nation's largest and most respected academic medical centers.

At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

Jinyong’s research examines human trust and performance in AI-assisted decision-making under uncertainty\, with healthcare as a primary application. In this seminar\, Jinyong will present collaborative work with pharmacists\, examining how communicating AI uncertainty information influences trust and performance in medication verification. Expanding this applied research\, Jinyong developed a theoretical human-AI error categorization framework that moves beyond binary decision frameworks to capture complex\, multi-class AI error patterns. Together\, these studies advance both the theoretical understanding and practical guidance for designing trustworthy\, human-centered AI systems.\n\nPresenter Bio:\nJinyong Kim is a PhD Candidate in Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan\, advised by Dr. Jessie Yang. His research is centered on human trust and performance in AI-assisted decision-making\, with a primary application in healthcare. He aims to extend this agenda to guide the design of AI that supports safe decision-making. Jinyong contributes to the IOE community through service on the Graduate Application Mentoring Program (GAMP) planning committee\, the IOE Community Engagement committee\, and the IOE Student Leadership Board.

This mystery exists in both online dating contexts and offline first dates. \n\nIn this talk\, Tatum Jolink presents a new theoretical framework for conceptualizing initial romantic interactions (i.e.\, online matches\, first dates). Specifically\, she draws upon the biopsychosocial model of challenge and threat and propose that we may be able to progress the science of compatibility by considering early dating interactions as motivated performance situations. Based on the BPS model\, she theorizse that when a dater’s available resources meet or exceed situational demands (i.e.\, challenge response) that might enhance perceived compatibility with a potential partner during an initial romantic interaction. \n\nThis talk presents preliminary data from three studies that test the framework’s core ideas. First\, in two online correlational samples\, 340 participants retrospectively recalled a recent first date experience\; Jolink examines the association between recalled appraisals of demands and resources ahead of this first date and reported performance and perceived compatibility after the date. Then\, Jolink rigorously and robustly tests this framework in the real world\, using a dating app\, Revel\, built by relationship scientists for research purposes. In the first nine months of pilot testing\, almost 1\,000 participants made over 61\,000 swipe decisions\, which lead to over 850 matches and more than 11\,000 messages. Ahead of joining Revel\, participants reported their dating resources (i.e.\, confidence) and demands (i.e.\, perceived effort).\n\nJolink tests the hypothesis that those with challenge responses (resources>demands) will be more engaged and have greater dating success on Revel than those with threat responses (resources 0. Let I be a proper ideal of R\, and let d denote the order of vanishing of I at the maximal ideal. Takagi and Watanabe showed that the F-pure threshold fpt(I) is bounded below by 1/d\; we classify pairs (R\, I) for which this bound is sharp.

For example\, they have a theory of Fourier expansions where the Fourier coefficients are indexed by totally real cubic rings. For quaternionic modular forms on G_2 associated via functoriality with certain modular forms on PGL_2$\, Gross conjectured in 2000 that their Fourier coefficients encode L-values of cubic twists of the modular form (echoing Waldspurger's work on Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms). This talk will report on recent work proving Gross's conjecture when the modular forms are dihedral\, giving the first examples for which it is known.

Under standard spectral and local energy decay hypotheses for perturbations of black-hole backgrounds\, we show a clean dichotomy: cubic nonlinearities generate a nonlinear t^{-2} tail with an explicit coefficient\, while for powers p \ge 4 the linear Price's law t^{-3} decay holds with a modified coefficient\; in both regimes we identify the leading term throughout the forward causal domain via a blend of radiation-field methods and low-energy resolvent analysis.

It helps set the foundation for those who participate in gaming to do so in a responsible manner by viewing gaming as budgeted entertainment rather than a way of making money.\n\nFeatured speaker:\nBobby Scales\, U-M School of Kinesiology alum and the event's featured speaker\, has an extensive background in US sports\, having played with several organizations in the minor leagues before spending two seasons in the Major Leagues with the Chicago Cubs. Additionally\, he finished his career with two seasons in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball.

At first glance\, these works each possess striking beauty. However\, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one’s perceptions. \n\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning\, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques\, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change\, habitat loss\, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \n\nCampbell’s captivating “Heatscape” series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands”\, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\n\n“Heatscape” invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world\, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment\, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\n\nSnider’s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization\, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art\, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence\, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone\, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately\, Snider’s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity\, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\n\nSandra Osip’s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures\, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact\, while Osip’s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss\, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms\, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\n\nCassells’ work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art\, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems\, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \n\nBy delving into these themes\, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so\, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues\, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \n\nShanna Merola’s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching\, wandering\, photographing\, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation\, and global corporatism\, and community response.\n\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as “wilderness-based\, science-inspired”\, serves as a bridge\, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so\, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work\, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment\, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\n\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives\, including cultural\, social\, and scientific viewpoints. \nFurthermore\, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.

Over a century\, scholarly printers competed to produce carefully edited editions. As they produced more and more\, they developed methods\, such as page-layout and indices\, to make their books easy to read\, and they created dictionaries and reference books so a reader could get more from their books.\n\nThe Estienne family of printers are among the most renowned and long-lasting printing houses of the era. Family links and investment in scholarly training helped them to sustain a business in the print trade for six generations in France and Switzerland.\n\nThe Special Collections Research Center holds nearly 80 imprints dating from the first years of the sixteenth century into the reign of Louis XIV. View nineteen examples chosen to show the breadth of the Michigan Estienne collection in an era of amazing change.\n\nImage: Detail from \"Polemōnos\, Himeriou\, kai allōn tinōn meletai\,\" by Henri Estienne\, Paris 1567. The Olive tree device is the best-known emblem of the Estienne house\, surviving in over a dozen forms. First used by Robert I in 1526\, it refers to a passage in Romans 11 that praises humility in the face of divine will.

She focuses on expressing gratitude\, compassion\, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil\, acrylic\, and watercolor\, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants\, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette\, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\n\nIn her collages\, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes\, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts\, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\n\nRecently\, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting\, drying\, and weaving leaves\, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving\, twining\, and basketry techniques\, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood. This integration of materials with form and subject in her work evokes a serene wholeness that reflects nature's inherent wisdom. Additionally\, her journey has sparked a curiosity to explore the historical uses and roles of plants throughout history.\n\nCathy Barry is an artist and instructor living and working in Ann Arbor\, Mi. She is a Lecturer in the University of Michigan (UM) Stamps School of Art and Design\, the UM Program in the Environment and the UM Biological Station.

This project comprises qualitative public health research conducted in impacted communities and visual arts generated from the research outcomes. Research teams of graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Michigan\, led by Professor William Lopez\, and the University of Iowa\, led by Professor Nicole Novak\, collaborated with a range of community members and organizers at sites of six large-scale immigration worksite raids that occurred in 2018 in Iowa\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, Tennessee\, and Texas. The researchers visited these sites\, spoke to advocates\, detainees\, their families\, and other community members. In conversation with the seventy-seven interviews\, artists Dalia Harris and Carolina Jones Ortiz generated ten images that comprise ICE in the Heartland. On display with the artworks are community member testimonies\, analysis on the public health detriments to immigration worksite raids and deportation\, insights to the artists’ methods\, and the curricular materials used in public outreach programs. \n\nHosted and sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies\, U-M.

In 2014\, using macro photography to explore his backyard garden\, he unknowingly began walking a naturalist’s path and documenting native pollinators and invertebrates. His large format prints of local invertebrates are currently on exhibit outside of the Belle Isle Nature Center\, with other works on exhibit inside the Center. With them\, he seeks to inspire viewers to take a closer look at the tiny world around us.\n\n \n\nArtist Statement\n\nTo me\, the little things matter.\n\nThrough my work as a photographer\, I share the unseen and overlooked world of nature that surrounds us. My focus is exploring the world of invertebrates and showcasing these creatures in their natural habitat.\n\nMy creative process has evolved into a moving mediation\, as I Slow down to observe\, document and connect with my subjects as we interact in the environment. Ultimately\, I seek to capture the unique beauty of creatures not usually perceived as beautiful and aim to create images that evoke emotion and curiosity. In so doing I strive to raise awareness of the importance of these creatures in our world and dispel any fears the viewer may have.\n\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/josephferraro/\n\nWeb: https://www.joseph-ferraro.com UID:141375-21888723@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/141375 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Free,garden,matthaei,matthaei botanical gardens,Sustainability,Visual Arts LOCATION:Matthaei Botanical Gardens CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20251016T112628 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20251104T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20251104T140000 SUMMARY:Fair / Festival:Fall Housing Fairs DESCRIPTION:The fall housing fair events offer students a great opportunity to learn more about off-campus housing options in and around Ann Arbor.
