If still having issues, click this link.\u00a0\nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required, in-person, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!!\u00a0First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n\u201cHow many workshops do I have to sign up for?\u201d\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training.\u00a0\n\u201cI see that there is more than one session, does it matter which one I sign up for?\u201d\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops.\u00a0\n\u201cIs this workshop required?\u201d\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n\u201cI\u2019ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.\u201d\u00a0\nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment, communication, and boundary setting. However, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n\u201cWhat if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I\u2019m an active learner.\u201d\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles, including time for self-reflection, small group sharing, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive.\u00a0\n\u201cCan I request accommodations?\u201d\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions.\u00a0\n\u201cI missed my workshop, what should I do ?\u201d\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule.\u00a0\n\u201cI have had gender-based violence training before, can I get this requirement waived?\u201d\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student.\u00a0\n\u201cI\u2019m a commuter\/non-traditional student, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n\u201cI still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"149176-21906066@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/149176", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Kalamazoo Room (League, 2nd Floor)", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/17177", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Sessions @ Michigan", "group_id":"4791", "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":72, "first_occurrence":21906064 } , "102102-21914770": { "datetime_modified":"20261022T222132", "datetime_start":"20261025T140000", "datetime_end":"20261025T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-25", "date_end":"2026-10-25", "time_start":"14:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Maize & Blue Cupboard Volunteering", "occurrence_title":"MBC Operating Hours", "combined_title":"Maize & Blue Cupboard Volunteering: Multiple conference events and sessions: MBC Operating Hours", "event_subtitle":"Multiple conference events and sessions", "event_type":"Conference \/ Symposium", "event_type_id":"5", "description":"Come help us during normal operating hours; as well as, unload our weekly Food Gatherers deliveries and stock our shelves!\u00a0If you are outside the U-M community, please reach out to maize.blue.cupboard@umich.edu to sign up.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"102102-21914770@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/102102", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Maize and Blue Cupboard inside Betsy Barbour", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/3152", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Sessions @ Michigan", "group_id":"4791", "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":8, "first_occurrence":21914755 } , "150256-21914408": { "datetime_modified":"20261022T222130", "datetime_start":"20261025T140000", "datetime_end":"20261025T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-25", "date_end":"2026-10-25", "time_start":"14:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"North Quad (2026-2027) (Housing)", "occurrence_title":"GSP Cider Mill Trip", "combined_title":"North Quad (2026-2027) (Housing): Multiple conference events and sessions: GSP Cider Mill Trip", "event_subtitle":"Multiple conference events and sessions", "event_type":"Conference \/ Symposium", "event_type_id":"5", "description":"", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"150256-21914408@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/150256", "building_id":"", "building_name":"", "campus_maps_id":"", "room":"", "location_name":"Meet at the NQ Community Center", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Sessions"], "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/p\/track\/17102", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Sessions @ Michigan", "group_id":"4791", "website":"https:\/\/sessions.studentlife.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":15, "first_occurrence":21913762 } , "85717-21628394": { "datetime_modified":"20261016T121952", "datetime_start":"20261025T140000", "datetime_end":"20261025T150000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-25", "date_end":"2026-10-25", "time_start":"14:00:00", "time_end":"15:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Public Art Walking Tour", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Public Art Walking Tour", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Tours", "event_type_id":"25", "description":"From bold new installations to familiar favorites, the University of Michigan's campus is full of art waiting to be explored.

Guest artist Jonathan Lehrer, University Carillonist of Grand Valley State University and Michigan State University, will perform the rededication recital, beginning with the first full performance of \"The Victors\" on the Baird Carillon since the 2017 U-M Bicentennial as a duet with U-M University Carillonist Tiffany Ng. \"The Victors\" will also be livestreamed to SMTD's YouTube channel.\n\nLehrer's program includes \"To The Sun,\" an interactive 10-minute performance for carillon and audience cell phones celebrating data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe. The U-M Frankel Detroit Observatory will coordinate a solar observation station at the base of the carillon throughout the recital, weather permitting. Their solar telescope provides magnificent views of sunspots, prominences, and more.\n\nThe outdoor audience listening space is Ingalls Mall, and listeners are advised to dress for the weather. Tours of the bell chamber will begin after the conclusion of the recital around 4:00 pm. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs, and is not ADA accessible. During the tours, prolific LEGO builder David Lorch (U-M Medical School) will be exhibiting his scale LEGO model of Burton Memorial Tower inside the tower lobby, which is ADA accessible from Ingalls Mall.\n\n*This event is supported by an Arts Initiative Project Support (AIPS) grant.*\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nJON LEHRER is the sixth University Carillonist of Michigan State University and the second University Carillonist of Grand Valley State University. A laureate of five international competitions for carillon (including the Queen Fabiola, the Nederlandse Klokkenspel Vereniging, and the Alexius Julien Baroque competitions), he is now a prolific soloist on the global stage, with a CV that includes touring overseas on behalf of the Canada Council for the Arts, teaching masterclasses at Universities across the nation, and performing hundreds of shows on the North American renaissance festival circuit. Jon studied carillon with Geert D\u2019Hollander, Eddy Marien, Koen Cosaert, and Ellen Dickenson and holds degrees from Yale University and the Royal Carillon School of Belgium. Having recently retired from data science and cancer research, he is focused on creating moments of beauty for busy university communities, growing the carillon art, and helping to train the next generation of expressive carillon virtuosi. Jon lives in Michigan with his partner Christy and their two cat-caf\u00e9 adoptees, Henry and Juliet.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"152780-21914514@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/152780", "building_id":"1000155", "building_name":"Burton Memorial Tower", "campus_maps_id":"25", "room":"", "location_name":"Burton Memorial Tower", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"Free - no tickets required", "tags":["Interdisciplinary","Free","Music"], "website":"https:\/\/smtd.umich.edu\/live-stream-burton\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"School of Music, Theatre & Dance (SMTD)", "group_id":"155", "website":"http:\/\/smtd.umich.edu\/events" }, { "group_name":"Arts Initiative", "group_id":"4583", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory", "group_id":"5385", "website":"https:\/\/detroitobservatory.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21914514 } }
