Speaking American English: A Workshop for English Language Learners (December 2, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/76793 76793-19743088@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 3:00pm
Location:
Organized By: University Center for Language and Literacy

The University Center for Language and Literacy is offering a workshop designed to help you reach personal communication goals. *Speaking American English: A workshop for English Language Learners* offers a supportive environment where you have the opportunity to practice the language skills that are important to you.

Our certified Speech-Language Pathologists use techniques to help non-native English speakers feel more confident in their communications – whether that’s giving a presentation, or taking notes in a class with a native speaker who speaks fast. The goal of the program is not to eliminate a client’s accent, but to build confidence in any communication or setting.

Participants set their own individual goals at the start of the workshop and will work to achieve those goals using a combination of small group activities and one-on-one interaction. The workshop typically runs for 10 weeks, but will depend on when it begins. If the group workshop does work with your schedule, please contact us; individual consultations are available.

What to Expect
* An initial meeting focusing on setting your personal goals and objectives
* Both group and individual activities
* Exercises for improving articulation, rate control, and projection
* Increased confidence in social and professional interactions
* Guidance from a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist

Contact UCLL at (734) 764-8440 or visit LanguageExperts.org for more details and to register.

- A liberal arts and sciences (LSA) student

What you’ll gain by attending:
- Gain clarity on what type of work you find viable, meaningful, and enjoyable
- Get ideas from coaches and peers on the various ways to meet your career goals
- Gain access to always-on resources on Canvas for deeper career exploration and career development

By taking these online Canvas modules, you will:
- Identify your pre-existing skills and determine competencies you want to cultivate

- Learn how to research career options that match your values, skills, and interests

What’s in a number? In the case of the U.S. Social Security number, the now-familiar nine digits hold a fascinating story about modern citizenship, governance and data. Starting in 1936, the SSN was affixed to more and more American lives, spurring new uses of punch cards and filing systems as well as novel dilemmas about personal data. This talk gives a brief history of the SSN and what it reveals about the changing state of “our” information.

Speaker: Sarah Igo, acclaimed author and historian

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Multi Ethnic Student Affairs - MESA

For Black History Month, MESA is proud to present, "A Conversation with Thought Leader and Change maker LaTosha Brown!" Co-sponsoring this event is U-M Ross Buisness + Impact, Central Student Government, LSA-English Language and Literature, Michigan Law, Center For Engeneering Diversity and Outreach, and the School of Music, Theatre & Dance. This conversation will be moderated by Associate Professor from the Department of Theatre & Drama, School of Music, Theatre & Dance Dr. Antonio C. Cuyler (Kyler) (He). He will be joined by the following panelist (BSU Vice Speaker Cydney Gardner-Brown, Turn Turn Out President Josiah Walker, and Vice Provost for Equity & Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer Office of the Provost Dr. Robert Sellers).

Ms. Brown is a 2020-2021 Hauser Leader at the Center for Public Leadership and a 2020-2021 American Democracy Fellow at Harvard’s Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History. Throughout the 2020 U.S. election, Ms. Brown led the We Got the Power bus tour across the U.S. South to register people to vote and galvanize Black voter participation. In a recent interview, Ms. Brown said “We wanted people, we wanted Black voters in particular, to feel a sense of their power and their agency, and in spite of all odds, what we could do in pushing this country forward.

Ms. Brown is also an award-winning thought leader, social strategist, philanthropic consultant, jazz singer, and catalyst for change. As co-founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund, Ms. Brown is dedicated to increasing the political power of Black people. She has more than twenty years of experience working in the non-profit and philanthropy sectors on issues related to political empowerment, social justice, economic development, leadership development, wealth creation and civil rights. A regular contributor to The New York Times and a fellow at the Institute of Politics at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, Ms. Brown is a recipient of the 2010 White House Champions of Change Award, 2006 Spirit of Democracy Award, and the Louis Burnham Award for Human Rights.

She will share thoughts on her lecture, “The Death of Democracy: Voter Suppression in the 21st Century,” and she will discuss how storytelling and strategic messaging can build political power. The role of women, young voters, and people of color in American politics will be a key area of discussion as it relates to civic engagement protests and student activism.

Tools for Futurist Thinking in the Social Sector with Deloitte’s Monitor Institute (February 3, 2021 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/81412 81412-20893776@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 3, 2021 3:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Business+Impact at Michigan Ross

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an environment of hyper-uncertainty for social sector organizations, as the economic crisis has weakened funders and nonprofits even as the demand for their assistance is skyrocketing. Many funders and non-profits have completed their initial round of emergency response to the crisis, but they are struggling to contemplate what they should do next.
To help social sector leaders confront this challenge, the Monitor Institute by Deloitte is using the tools of scenario planning—the well-tested methodology for thinking about the future pioneered by Deloitte’s Global Business Network group—to help both funders and operating nonprofits get on their front foot in preparing for the landscape on the other side of the COVID-19 crisis. While it isn’t possible to predict the future, this session will provide funders and operating non-profits with an understanding of the tools that can help them think about the critical uncertainties of the moment, reckon with the new “certainties” emerging from the pandemic, and think about how their strategies might (or might not) fit the different possible futures that may emerge in the coming months and years ahead.

ere.

Arts institutions, such as museums, were founded on colonialist ideas – white Europeans collected the rest of the world during their conquests and travels, establishing places to promote one set of cultural ideals at the expense of others. Though they have reexamined their origins, shifting their missions toward education and visitor experience, museums and other arts institutions carry the baggage of their historic trajectory. For our arts institutions to be truly useful to future audiences, our panelists ask, can we rethink and repair these institutions to make them more relevant? Or, should we knock them all down and rebuild new institutions?

Moderated by Tina Olsen, Director of the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

Panelists:

Maurita Poole is director and curator of the museum at Clark Atlanta University, an HBCU, whose collection focuses on Black artists of the mid-20th century. Her PhD from Emory University is in anthropology; she has worked as a curator at Williams College Museum of Art, The Walters Art Museum, The Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, and Spelman College Museum of Fine Art.

Terence Washington is program director at NXTHVN, a model to advance the careers of artists and curators of color through mentorship and professional development. He worked in the Education Department at the National Gallery of Art after receiving his master’s degree in art history from Williams College.

Anya Sirota is Associate Professor of Architecture Associate Dean of Academic Initiatives at Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Through her design firm, Akoaki, she explores the intersection of design and social enterprise to rethink the urban landscape. She received her Master in Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

The Future of Art Series is hosted by the U-M Arts Initiative as part of a two-year startup phase.

Alum Connection: Celebrity Personal Assistant & Tour Manager Heather Adelman Gladstein and Trial Lawyer Seth Gladstein

Are you wondering what being a trial lawyer has in common with being a celebrity assistant and concert tour manager? Beyond their love for U-M, Heather (Econ, Music ’99) and Seth (PoliSci ’97) are husband and wife, successful entrepreneurs in their respective fields, and business owners. Both credit their LSA experience, along with mentors and internships, and their ability to think critically, to find careers that combine each of their passions and skills, and to create businesses that serve unmet needs in their respective fields.

Join Heather and Seth for an upbeat, insightful conversation about pursuing your interests, making career changes along the journey, and everything in between!

About Heather Adelman Gladstein:

As a Celebrity Assistant, Consultant and Tour Manager, Heather works with some of the world’s top classical music and theater stars, including Broadway legend Audra McDonald. Before establishing her own business in 2005, Heather worked in New York for six years as the Director of Artist Services in the Vocal Division of IMG Artists, the premier classical music management agency. A geographical change prompted Heather to consider a potential career shift. She recognized that artists at the highest level of their craft needed more direct support and she started her business to provide these services. In 2019, Musical America recognized Heather as a “Professional of the Year” for having created a unique business and for being an industry innovator, independent thinker and entrepreneur. Heather graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts where she double majored in Music and Economics.

About Seth Gladstein

Seth is a medical malpractice and trial lawyer in Louisville, Kentucky. Seth is AV-rated by Martindale Hubbell and has been selected as a Kentucky Super Lawyer for six consecutive years. While at Michigan, Seth majored in Political Science, and served on the LSA Student Government during his junior year. He interned for one of Kentucky’s United States Senators in Washington, D.C and after graduating from Michigan in 1997, taught English in Prague, Czech Republic. Seth received his J.D. from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2001 and practiced medical malpractice defense for four years in New York City before returning home to Louisville. In 2011, Seth opened his solo practice, which has a singular focus of giving a voice to injury and malpractice victims throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In January 2022, Seth will begin his term as President of the Louisville Bar Association.

No matter your role, there are universal job skills that will help you succeed and advance in your career. Despite their importance, there's not a lot of opportunities to learn how to manage your manager, understand corporate culture, find ways to add more value, and deal with office politics. Each of which can help you be seen as a key contributor, or can undermine your career if not handled correctly. In this workshop, presented by Mark Herschberg, you will learn how to build these skills so you can make the most of any professional opportunity.

The workshop will be conducted via this Zoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/93430894629.

Alum Connections: Dr. Gina Fundaro (April 9, 2021 12:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/83335 83335-21344238@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, April 9, 2021 12:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: LSA Opportunity Hub

Alum Connection: Women’s Health leader & Entrepreneur, Dr. Gina Fundaro

In January 2020, Dr. Gina Fundaro found herself at a crossroads. She was a successful breast imaging radiologist with Henry Ford Health System, while her children were also succeeding athletically in their early teenage years. After a twenty-year career impacting patients’ lives, Gina made the decision to stop practicing medicine and open three Goldfish Swim Schools in Virginia. Just over a year later, Gina is back working with patients part-time. A proud U-M Dearborn graduate, Gina attributes her liberal arts education for giving her both a desire to serve others through her medical vocation and the agility to pivot into entrepreneurial pursuits. Join Gina for a conversation about exploring a medical career in service to others--and having the courage to make life changes as an established adult and professional.

About Dr. Gina Fundaro:
A lifelong native of Michigan, Dr. Gina Fundaro spent the majority of her career at Henry Ford Health System. She was also the site director of the Henry Ford Fairlane Breast Center. Prior to this, she worked at the Alexander Walt Comprehensive Breast Center of the Karmanos Cancer Institute from 2005 to 2007. She specializes in breast imaging and breast interventional procedures. She joined a private group, Regional Medical Imaging in January 2021.

Her passion for women’s healthcare arose while in college following her grandmother’s death from preventable breast cancer. It highlighted the need to catch breast tumors early, spurring her to enter radiology and help women fight the disease.

Being a physician, it was important to Gina that her kids learned how to swim. This passion also drove Gina to learn how to swim at age 39, and in 2012, she completed an Ironman Triathlon. Two years later, Gina and her husband opened their first of three Goldfish Swim Schools in Northern, VA.

You should attend this session if you are:
A UM Literature, Science, and the Arts undergraduate student with interests in working in the field of healthcare
Interested in medical school and/or pursuing a career in medicine, specifically radiology
Hoping to learn from an alum about navigating life in medical school, as well as finding work-life balance as a practicing physician

What you’ll gain from attending this session:
Get insights from an experienced physician who currently sits on the Mott Hospital Council and Women's Health Leadership Council at Michigan Medicine
Learn about the career possibilities within medicine prior to applying to medical school.
Gain critical advice about pursuing both a lifelong career but also shorter professional pursuits

RSVP now to be part of the conversation. The link to join this Alum Connection will be emailed to you after you RSVP.

How has this unprecedented time of disruption affected leaders and employees? How are they engaging in their work, and with each other? Although the current climate has posed many challenges, it also leaves room to reengage and reimagine organizational strategies. Companies have the opportunity to adopt creative and more agile work methods; renew discussions surrounding DEI; implement a stronger commitment to racial justice; and improve employee engagement. Leaders have the potential to create supportive structures, practices, and cultures that foster connection, while employees have the potential to self-discover and drive a mindful and meaningful connection to their work. All can act in harmony to connect with an organization’s purpose-driven mission.

Join us for the virtual Michigan Ross Positive Business Conference, May 13-14, 2021, where we’ll share new practices, tools, and real-world examples for how to build stronger, more connected teams and companies. Leading faculty and industry experts from Cisco, IDEO, Masco, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and more, will explore this year’s theme of “Meaningful Engagement in a Fragmented Time: Connecting with Self, Others, and Society.”

RSVP here: http://www.cew.umich.edu/events/wctf-2021-juneteenth-celebration

Join the Women of Color Task Force for its 2nd annual Juneteenth observance event. The theme for our event is “Improving Intercultural Race Relations to Develop Intercultural Solidarity.”

Juneteenth, also called Jubilee Day, Freedom Day, Liberation Day, or Emancipation Day, is the designated holiday commemorating the freedom of the slaves in the United States, traditionally observed annually on June 19th. President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation had officially outlawed slavery in Texas and the other states in rebellion against the Union almost two and a half years earlier on January 1, 1863. Enforcement of the Proclamation generally relied on the advancement of the Union troops. The anniversary of the June 19, 1865 date recognizes the day that the announcement by Union Army Major General Gordon Granger, proclaiming freedom from slavery and the end of the Civil War was delivered to Galveston, Texas.

The Juneteenth holiday is celebrated on Saturday, June 19, 2021, but we invite you to join us for our celebration on Friday, June 18th, from 8:30 am - 1:30 pm.

Share your photos from past Juneteenth celebrations and events organized by your community and/or family!! If you have a picture to share, you may upload your photo by midnight on June 4th into this Google form: https://forms.gle/bMZ46tGH1YedgE1a7. Submissions will be reviewed, and selected photos will be included in a slideshow that will be shown at the virtual Juneteenth event.

Speaker:
Philip R.O. Payne, PhD, FACMI, FAMIA, FAIMBE, FIAHSI
Janet and Bernard Becker Professor and Director, Institute for Informatics (I2), Associate Dean for Health information and Data Science, Chief Data Scientist, at Washington University in St. Louis

This presentation will explore the ways in Biomedical Data Science and Informatics research are helping to realize the potential of EHR technologies in the context of creating an LHS, from the optimization of workflow and human factors, to the generation of reproducible and systematic clinical phenotypes, to the delivery of emergent knowledge to both providers and patients via advance clinical decision support systems.

Presentation 2
Techniques and Challenges for EHR Phenotyping

Speaker:
Lisa Bastarache, MS
Research Associate Professor Department of Biomedical Informatics,
Vanderbilt University

Electronic health records (EHR) contain a wealth of real world data that can be used for research purposes. However, extracting phenotype information from EHRs can be challenging. EHR phenotyping can be divided into two types: (1) Fast phenotyping which seeks to capture a broad swath of the medical phenome, and is often accomplished using coded EHR data (e.g. billing codes) and (2) slow phenotyping that seeks to achieve high precision and recall for a single phenotype, and often uses multiple EHR data types (e.g. medications, text, lab results). This talk will describe specific use-cases for both fast and slow phenotyping, and review challenges that are commonly encountered in creating research-grade EHR phenotypes.

You should attend this workshop if you are:
A liberal arts and sciences (LSA) student
Exploring academic majors and minors, career interests, and professions
Looking for internship opportunities that can help clarify your career options
Interested in developing professional skills that will make you career-ready

Unlike structured data, unstructured data are often buried within free text clinical narratives that are difficult to analyze and interpret to derive useful insights. Free text cannot be easily categorized in the same way that a structured, numerical data point can, and unstructured data often have nuances that are not easily captured or represented in structured data.

This session will cover methods and techniques for interpreting and converting unstructured text into useful research data using two related, but distinct approaches: (1) Natural Language Processing (NLP), a specialized branch of AI focused on the interpretation and manipulation of human-generated spoken or written data; and (2) information retrieval, which often underlies many search engine technologies. This session will also highlight EMERSE, an open-source information retrieval tool that has been designed to help everyday users work with the free text documents (i.e., clinical notes) in medical records that is now being adopted by other academic medical centers.

Finally, attendees will hear directly from researchers about how they have used these methods and tools to enhance their research by accessing and harnessing the power of unstructured data.

WSN Leader Application (November 4, 2021 12:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/89125 89125-21660533@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 4, 2021 12:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Wolverine Support Network

Wolverine Support Network is currently accepting applications to become a peer support group leader for the Winter 2022 semester! Leading a WSN group is a great way to hone skills in communication, group management, and accountability while creating a space on campus for honest conversations about mental health.

Leaders facilitate a weekly group that is scheduled around their availability, attend weekly leader training meetings from 6:00-7:15 PM ET on Mondays, attend community-building events, and help with marketing efforts on campus. The overall time commitment is ~3 hours/week, and it is super rewarding. All students interested are encouraged to apply regardless of whether or not they have attended a WSN group. Applications are open to both undergraduate students and graduate students who will be enrolled at U-M in the winter.

The application can be found at bit.ly/W22-Leader-Application or on our website at umichwsn.org/leader-application. If you have any questions regarding the application process or the position itself, please contact the Director of Leader Development, Courtney Jones (courtj@umich.edu).
