Virtual Taize Prayer Service (February 4, 2020 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71770 71770-17890217@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 4, 2020 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: UKirk@UMich

Join us for a monthly Taizé Prayer Service with First Pres Ann Arbor, now held virtually.

What is a Taizé Service?

This style of worship was developed at Taizé, a monastic community located in Taizé, France, founded in the 1940’s by a Swiss named Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche or Brother Roger. The “brothers” of the community have taken a vow of celibacy and are committed to a lifetime of simplicity, service, and community. There is an ecumenical emphasis at Taizé, which says the community “wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.”

A Taizé worship service involves sung and chanted prayers, meditation, a period of silence, liturgical readings, and icons. There is no preaching. The style of prayer practiced at Taizé has attracted many worshipers from around the globe and from many different denominations. The prayers consist of “short chants, repeated again and again,” according to an introduction in a Taizé songbook. “The words are sung over many times.”

Taizé Services have been a practice of worshipping here at First Pres on Ash Wednesday. All are welcome!

Sarah Goddard Power Award and Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Ceremony (February 12, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71014 71014-17768629@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 12, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Michigan League

February 12, 2020 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Koessler Room, Michigan League

Please join us for the annual Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards Ceremony.

The Sarah Goddard Power & Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Awards are presented by the Academic Women’s Caucus, which was founded in its current form in 1975. Its initial charge was ” …to develop an inclusive organization of all women faculty members of the Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint campuses of the University of Michigan which will serve as a forum for the exchange of information about the status of faculty women at the University and as a focus for action necessary to the investigation and resolution of their special concerns.” To this end, the Caucus has met regularly during the academic year since 1976. It has responded to the concerns of its members by sponsoring informational and problem-solving sessions of various kinds and has provided support and a mechanism for exchange of ideas and action proposals.

2020 SARAH GODDARD POWER AWARD
Sarah Goddard Power was widely acclaimed as a major contributor to the advancement of higher education, an advocate for affirmative action and human rights, and a champion of freedom for the international press. As a Regent of the University of Michigan for more than 12 years, Sarah Goddard Power worked tirelessly to advance the position of women and minorities in faculty and administrative roles.

Regent Sarah Goddard Power originally suggested that the Academic Women’s Caucus present awards to such individuals. In 1984, an Awards Committee was established to select the first recipients of the Academic Women’s Caucus Awards. Thus, it seemed appropriate that the Academic Women’s Caucus Award be renamed to honor Regent Power. In 1988, Regent Philip H. Power graciously consented to allow the Caucus to rename its awards the Academic Women’s Caucus Sarah Goddard Power Award. In 1998, President Lee Bollinger enabled the Award to be offered with an accompanying stipend. Each year, nominations are selected for the Sarah Goddard Power Awards.

2020 Sarah Goddard Power Award Recipients:

Cathleen Connell, Professor, Department of Health Behavior and Health Education, is being honored for her significant achievement in addressing current challenges faced by women through distinguished leadership at the University of Michigan. Dr. Connell began her academic career as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Behavior and Health Education in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan in 1989, and rose through the ranks to become Professor in 2003. She has served in many leadership roles in her tenure at the University, including associate and senior associate dean of academic affairs, department and associate chair, and directorships. “Cathleen brings true kindness, empathy and graciousness to her leadership roles. With her attitudes and actions, she has helped make the Department and School a place where female scholars feel comfortable and can thrive personally and professionally,” said Mary Janevic, Ph.D., MPH, in a nominating letter. “Cathleen embodies the characteristics of an inspired leader. A patient listener, she has an innate ability to motivate teams to institute changes, meet goals, and achieve success,” Angela Beck, Assistant Dean for Student Engagement and Practice, School of Public Health, wrote.

Allison Steiner, Professor, Department of Climate and Space Science and Engineering, has provided breakthrough contributions towards developing a diverse and inclusive workforce both at the University of Michigan and in her own scientific field at a national and international level. She receives the Sarah Goddard Power Award for her tireless advocacy towards the advancement of women in Earth Sciences worldwide, and her leadership role in promoting equality for female faculty in the College of Engineering. Allison co-founded the Earth Science Women’s Network (ESWN), an international peer-mentoring network of women in the Earth Sciences, whose mission is to promote career development, build community, provide opportunities for informal mentoring and support, and facilitate professional collaborations. At the University and within the College of Engineering Steiner plays active leadership roles in a variety of programs and efforts to develop and implement strategies and plans to support diversity, equity and inclusion. She chaired the Dean’s Advisory Committee on Female Faculty, is a member of the CoE ADVANCE Advisory Committee and Co-Chaired last year’s NextProf Committee. “Looking through the list of the last few years Sarah Goddard Power Award winners is inspirational… Prof. Allison Steiner’s significant achievements in contributing to the betterment of current challenges faced by women through her leadership and community building roles clearly place her in the same company,” wrote Mark Moldwin, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor and Professor of Space Sciences and Engineering, in a nominating letter.

2020 RHETAUGH G. DUMAS PROGRESS IN DIVERSIFYING AWARD
The Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award supports a long-standing vision of increasing the number of diverse women in the academy. Named after late Vice Provost Rhetaugh Dumas, it recognizes outstanding institutional initiative in demonstrating notable progress by academic units in achieving ethnic, racial and gender diversity among those pursuing and achieving tenure as professors, clinical professors, research professors, and research scientists.

Rhetaugh Dumas was an esteemed leader with vision, insight, and wise counsel who had a major impact in the advancement of nursing, healthcare, and academic programs at U-M. Vice Provost Dumas was only the second African-American to hold the position of a Dean at the University of Michigan when she was appointed in 1981, and the first African-American to be named a Dean. She was reappointed Dean of Nursing in 1986 and 1991 to second and third terms. Prior to that appointment, she was the first woman and first nurse to serve as a deputy director of the National Institute of Mental Health. Dumas was Deputy Director, Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration (1979-1981) and before that Chief, Psychiatric Nursing Education Branch of the Division of Manpower and Training Programs (1972-1976). She was also a founding member, a Charter Fellow, and a former president of the American Academy of Nursing. Dumas served the University of Michigan for over 20 years with vision and a commitment to excellence.

2020 Rhetaugh G. Dumas Progress in Diversifying Award Recipient:
The U-M Women’s Studies Department has been selected for the Rhetaugh Dumas Award for its continued commitment to hiring and promoting a diverse faculty. In the fall of 2019, 50% of Women’s Studies faculty were black and/or people of color. Over the past five years, leadership in Women’s Studies has embodied and practiced an “institutional commitment to change.” Two recent department chairs ­- Elizabeth Cole and Rosie Ceballo, African American and Latinx, respectively – during those five years have moved on to Assistant, Associate, and interim dean positions at the College of LSA. Beyond their own leadership positions, they also made the effort to hire black women and/or women of color.

Organized By: University Students Against Rape/Take Back The Night (USAR/TBTN)

University Students Against Rape, Standing Tough Against Rape Society, and Literati Bookstore are delighted to welcome Jaclyn Friedman to the downtown branch of the Ann Arbor District Library for a reading and signing in support of her latest publication, Believe Me: How Trusting Women Can Change the World. This event is free and open to the public. A Q&A and book signing will follow the reading.

About the book:

In Believe Me, contributors ask and answer the crucial question: What would happen if we didn’t just believe women, but acted as though they matter? If we take women’s experiences of online harassment seriously, it will transform the internet. If we listen to and center survivors, we could revolutionize our systems of justice. If we believe Black women when they talk about pain, we will save countless lives. With contributions from many of the most important voices in feminism today, Believe Me is an essential roadmap for the #MeToo era and beyond.

Jaclyn Friedman is a writer, educator and activist, and creator of four books Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape (one of Publishers’ Weekly’s Top 100 Books of 2009), What You Really Want: The Smart Girl’s Shame-Free Guide to Sex & Safety, Unscrewed: Women, Sex, Power and How to Stop Letting the System Screw Us All, and her latest, Believe Me: How Trusting Women Can Change the World. Her podcast, also called, Unscrewed, is paving new paths to sexual liberation, and was named one of the Best Sex Podcasts by both Marie Claire and Esquire.

This year’s award will be presented to Professor Daniel Washington (voice). Dr. Washington is being recognized for his significant support and advocacy on behalf of diverse students and faculty artists at U-M and innovative diversity and inclusion impact on U-M and beyond through his performances and service.

The Shirley Verrett Award was created in 2011 by the Office of the Senior Vice Provost in honor of the late Shirley Verrett, a teacher who “would have walked the world over for her students.” The award is administered by the U-M Women of Color in the Academy Project at the Center for the Education of Women and recognizes a faculty member whose teaching, performance, scholarship or service supports the success of female students or faculty in the arts who come from diverse cultural and racial backgrounds. Verrett was a James Earl Jones Distinguished University Professor of Voice at the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance, as well as an internationally acclaimed opera singer who was one of the pioneering leaders in the generation of black opera singers. She performed more than 40 roles all over the world during the course of her four-decade career.

Virtual Taize Prayer Service (April 14, 2020 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/71770 71770-17890219@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 14, 2020 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: UKirk@UMich

Join us for a monthly Taizé Prayer Service with First Pres Ann Arbor, now held virtually.

What is a Taizé Service?

This style of worship was developed at Taizé, a monastic community located in Taizé, France, founded in the 1940’s by a Swiss named Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche or Brother Roger. The “brothers” of the community have taken a vow of celibacy and are committed to a lifetime of simplicity, service, and community. There is an ecumenical emphasis at Taizé, which says the community “wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.”

A Taizé worship service involves sung and chanted prayers, meditation, a period of silence, liturgical readings, and icons. There is no preaching. The style of prayer practiced at Taizé has attracted many worshipers from around the globe and from many different denominations. The prayers consist of “short chants, repeated again and again,” according to an introduction in a Taizé songbook. “The words are sung over many times.”

Taizé Services have been a practice of worshipping here at First Pres on Ash Wednesday. All are welcome!

While all Ph.D. students produce dissertations of quality, some students write dissertations that are truly exceptional for the high caliber of their scholarship and for the significance and interest of their findings. Each year we invite faculty to nominate the dissertations produced in their programs that were outstanding. The nomination dossiers submitted are then read and discussed by a review panel of faculty members who identify the finalists. Members of the Michigan Society of Fellows read the finalists’ dissertations, review the merits, and select the winners. We recognize these exceptional dissertations with the ProQuest Distinguished Dissertation Awards.

Organized By: Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives (OAMI)

The Middle Eastern/North African Student (ME/NA) Celebration is the celebratory program that highlights ME/NA graduates at the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor, Dearborn, and Flint at the conclusion of every academic year. The ceremony was born out of a need to recognize the large population of previously unrecognized Middle Eastern/North African student graduates. The mission of the program is to recognize them, their achievements, and the cultural significance of the ME/NA community, while providing incentive to future students to reach the ultimate goal of graduation.

On this day, join us as we come together to celebrate the accomplishments of our graduating seniors, as well as show respect to everyone who helped them make this possible, including friends, faculty, staff, administrators, and family members.

Join us for a monthly Taizé Prayer Service with First Pres Ann Arbor, now held virtually.

What is a Taizé Service?

This style of worship was developed at Taizé, a monastic community located in Taizé, France, founded in the 1940’s by a Swiss named Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche or Brother Roger. The “brothers” of the community have taken a vow of celibacy and are committed to a lifetime of simplicity, service, and community. There is an ecumenical emphasis at Taizé, which says the community “wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.”

A Taizé worship service involves sung and chanted prayers, meditation, a period of silence, liturgical readings, and icons. There is no preaching. The style of prayer practiced at Taizé has attracted many worshipers from around the globe and from many different denominations. The prayers consist of “short chants, repeated again and again,” according to an introduction in a Taizé songbook. “The words are sung over many times.”

Taizé Services have been a practice of worshipping here at First Pres on Ash Wednesday. All are welcome!
