Give it. Get it. Expect Respect (August 8, 2017 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41466 41466-9269830@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, August 8, 2017 2:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: LSA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

High quality relationships are born and sustained in an environment of respect. Respect provides the safety needed to grow trust in relationships. Where there is trust, individuals are free to step into their higher capacities, create together what has not existed before and are more inclined to willingly and graciously tent to the needs of others; be it their students, families or co-workers.


This presentation will renew the concept of respect for individuals and provide tools as to how to practice this everyday. The LARA method of effective listening and communication in conversations will be introduced.

Organized By: Center for Entrepreneurship

Entrepalooza 2017 will focus on the nuts and bolts of entrepreneurship - what does it really take to start a business? While a bold idea, unflagging determination and patient financial backers are all crucial to successful start-ups, entrepreneurs must also focus on less dramatic aspects of running a company. From the start, entrepreneurs must think about their approach to partnering, financing, marketing, hiring and operating. Entrepalooza 2017 will introduce budding entrepreneurs to the personal implications and practical aspects of being an entrepreneur - identifying, starting and running a business.

As global demands for ever-higher proficiency outcomes continue to rise, and local resources for domestic instruction diminish, language educators strive to create environments and curricula that can produce proficient students within economic and pedagogical constraints. Drawing on the experience of the National Language Flagship model and research in intensive instruction, this paper presents a model of instruction that incorporates standards-based reverse curricular design, flipped classroom, and a multi-tiered instruction/assessment plan that attempts to address issues of time/budgetary constraints and proficiency. Examples of in-class and out-of-class materials will be provided, as well as samples of student outcomes from this kind of curriculum.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

Though the University of Michigan aspires to cultivate a climate that is welcoming to the members of its diverse student, faculty, and staff bodies, we know that the lived experiences of many in our communities don't always align with these aspirations. Join the CRLT Players for Cuts: Responding to Student Climate Concerns, a two-session series, that invites participants to think together about the many forces that can shape campus climate both positively and negatively. Built around a series of vignettes that explore students' experiences of marginalization, each session offers a space where participants can practice engaging in difficult conversations about and across differences in identity while also reflecting on their personal responsibilities to cultivating inclusive and equitable spaces within and outside of the classroom.

In the first session, participants will:

- Analyze a series of bias incidents from the perspective of a targeted student

- Reflect on their own experiences of marginalizing behavior-- as target, aggressor, or bystander

- Explore strategies for intervening effectively when they observe marginalizing behavior and for responding productively when a concern about their own behavior is raised

Mind-Body Awareness: Traditional Chinese Kung Fu Philosophy and Practice with Grandmaster Sam F.S. Chin (November 5, 2017 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46017 46017-10353060@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, November 5, 2017 12:00pm
Location: Michigan Union
Organized By: Confucius Institute at the University of Michigan

Grandmaster Sam Chin will share with you his experience and how practicing the path of I Liq Chuan could help with daily activities such as your work and studies, as well as person living with physical disabilities specifically cerebral palsy.

Grandmaster Sam Chin was born in Malaysia and trained martial arts since childhood by his father – the founder of I Liq Chuan, Chin Lik Keong. During the 1980’s, GM° Sam Chin won numerous competitions, as well as the state heavy weight kickboxing championships of Malaysia, Selangor in 1978.

After he immigrated to the United States with his family in the early 1990’s, he then spent the next ten years working and teaching martial arts at the famous Chuang Yen Monastery in Carmel, New York. There, Master Sam F.S. Chin was exposed to numerous dharma and meditation masters. A breakthrough came about when he attended a dynamic mindfulness and awareness retreat taught by a well known Thailand monk – Ven. Achan Tong. Master Sam Chin developed the ability to observe the vicissitudes of the mind and physical body, realizing back to simplicity and the base of origin. This started his inquiry into the neutral path, which later became The Path of I Liq Chuan (pronounced Yi Leek Chi-uan), and eventually lead to the founding of Zhong Xin Dao in early 2016. With this penetrating clarity, he introduced Zen philosophy into his family art. Master Sam F.S. Chin began to distill unifying principles, further clarifying the essential body mechanics and sensory experiences, and their relationship to mental awareness.

In August 2009, at the age of 55 Grandmaster Sam F.S. Chin is officially named the Gate Keeper / Lineage Holder of the art by his father, founder of I Liq Chuan, Chin Lik Keong.

He was also recognized by the USA Wushu Kung-Fu Federation, an official member of the International Olympic Committee, as a Hall of Fame Outstanding Master.

In January 2016, China’s largest national television network CCTV aired a near 90 minutes documentary on Master Sam F.S. Chin and his family art. The documentary shows the scope of the I Liq Chuan’s invaluable teachings through Zhong Xin Dao philosophies of the neutral path, enhancing the lives of people living with blindness, physical handicaps, and the elderly.

Master Sam F.S. Chin passion shows through his teachings as he shares his family art selflessly for those seeking self-improvement. He created the grading system to ensure the art is transmitted transparently for years to come. There are now certified instructors and authorized group leaders in over 20 countries and credited courses in universities helping students learn how to learn.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: CEW+

CEW is leading a one-day Spectrum of Advocacy and Activism Symposium: Finding Your Voice focused on advocacy and activism training. This event will demonstrate how a person’s activism can change over time, how advocacy is tied to a person’s context and situational power, and how partnering with diverse perspectives can strengthen advocacy and activism efforts. Health outcomes has been selected as the theme for this year’s symposium because of increasing uncertainty surrounding health care in America, including coverage for women’s health care (mental health, mammograms, birth control, maternity care, etc.).

The goals for this one-day symposium are:
-to engage students, practitioners, and researchers who are interested in advocacy and activism
-to equip symposium participants with advocacy training that can be applied to their area(s) of interest
-to develop a network among attendees for potential partnerships beyond the symposium
-to highlight the value of diverse perspectives in advocacy work.

The symposium includes presentations by local and national advocacy experts who have taken varied approaches to advocacy in ways that best leverage their current context (power, privilege, and identity). Training sessions will feature capacity-building workshops on a range of topics from community organizing to bystander intervention to running for political office. Afternoon panel discussions will offer practical strategies that attendees can apply to their own work as advocates and activists. At the end of the day, participants will be presented with a common challenge that they will address in small groups comprised of individuals from campus and community.

The day will close out with a surprise special keynote speaker to be announced soon!

This free event will take place on Wednesday, November 15, 2017 at the Michigan League. Space for the symposium is limited to 350 people, however, the free keynote lecture will be open to the public.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Rackham Graduate School

The goal of the Mentoring Plan Workshop is to enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and research faculty mentor/advisor. During this workshop, students and faculty will have the opportunity to develop a mentoring plan. A mentoring plan is a two-way agreement about goals, needs, and expectations; it is co-written by the student and research faculty mentor/advisor. It is an excellent way to establish and support mentor-mentee relationships.

Because this program is aimed to enhance the mentoring relationship, mentors and students are expected to attend the workshop together. (Please note: If a faculty mentor has previously attended, he/she may opt to only attend the mentor-student team meeting time to develop the mentoring plan.)

Pre-registration is required of both the student and faculty mentor at https://goo.gl/forms/Tl3wUziXy7IexAy82).

Join us and learn about various summer opportunities from four different offices: International Programs in Engineering, Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program, the Engineering Advising Center and the Engineering Career Resource Center. Following brief presentations from each office, our peer advisors will engage in a panel discussion to share their individual experiences. The evening will conclude with an open house, which will give you a chance to speak with office reps and participating students individually to get answers to your unique questions.

We'll also provide tips for making the most of your experience, whatever you decide to pursue! Learn to fully engage in your experience and practice career readiness skills (communication, teamwork, problem solving, etc.) that employers value most when evaluating candidates. By applying intention to your actions and seeking opportunities to contribute and stretch outside your comfort zone, you'll also be preparing yourself for future opportunities.

Snacks and beverages will be provided, please register through the Events section of Engineering Careers if planning to attend. This is a College of Engineering event that will be hosted by the ECRC and the EAC/ECRC Peer Advisors.

The goal of CSAAW is to support graduate students interested in complex systems research. Through our regular meetings, students discuss their own work and receive feedback from other students, faculty, and researchers. For some meetings, students present "tutorials" on various complex systems related topics or methodology. Other meetings consist of talks by and discussions with invited speakers who are active in complex systems research.

Professor Patrick Grim has taught for Complex Systems for several years, and organizes many research groups with students - a great mentor to our Complex Systems flock. Professor Grim is a retired Emeritus Philosophy Professor from SUNY at Stoneybrook.

Organized By: Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (50+)

We will read and write with the objective of bringing places to life. This course for those 50 and over is open to novel writing, short stories, memoir and life writing, as well as
poetry.

Whether writing of home or places of exile -- we will move through time with characters and through ideas -- by the examination of setting. Whether you bring material or an idea, or neither-- we will get ‘there’. We may generate new work or prioritize workshop activity (and we’ll be reading a variety of excerpts for inspiration). Be open. Be willing. Be kind.

Instructor Clarisse Baleja Saidi, a novelist and recent graduate of the Helen Zell MFA Program at the University of Michigan, will conduct these 90 minute sessions on Tuesdays from January 23 through March 27.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: English Language Institute

Are you a graduate student with a virtually impossible reading load? You are not alone. While it is possible to read and understand text more quickly, real reading efficiency comes from reading text more strategically. In this workshop, we will learn about strategies for prioritizing attention, understanding and remembering what we read, and aligning reading strategy with our purpose for reading (e.g. preparing for seminar discussion, developing a literature review, refining our research methods, or writing a response paper). Bring a paper or electronic copy example of the kind of text you’re trying to read more efficiently.

Science for the People: Then and Now (February 2, 2018 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49507 49507-11465095@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, February 2, 2018 6:30pm
Location: Chemistry Dow Lab
Organized By: Science for the People

Organizers from the original and current Science for the People will discuss the history of the radical science movement, the consequences of apolitical science, and the challenges the revitalized Science for the People faces. The event consists of three 30-minute presentations by the speakers, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Speaker Bios:

Ben Allen is a biologist and activist in east Tennessee. He is an organizer for the revitalized Science for the People and was a member of the Science for the People Research Collective. He works as a contractor on computational biology projects related to energy and environment.

Dr. Sigrid Schmalzer is a professor in the History Department and an officer in the faculty union at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her publications include two books, The People's Peking Man: Popular Science and Human Identity in Twentieth-Century China (2008) and Red Revolution, Green Revolution: Scientific Farming in Socialist China (2016). She was also the lead organizer for the 2014 conference "Science for the People: The 1970s and Today,” and she is co-editor, with Alyssa Botelho and Daniel S.

He has authored 15 books, mainly concerned with agroecosystems and more than 200 publications in theoretical ecology, tropical ecology and agroecology. He is a founding member of the New World Agriculture and Ecology Group. He is currently a professor of ecology at the University of Michigan. ​

*************

This event kicks off Science for the People's weekend-long convention. During the convention, we will be making collective decisions about our organizational structure, ratifying our foundational principles and bylaws, and developing national projects, we plan to include time to get to know one another, to learn from each other, and to further our political self-education. The original Science for the People arose in 1969 out of the anti-war movement and lasted until 1989. With radical analysis and non-hierarchical governing structure, Science for the People tackled the militarization of scientific research, the corporate control of research agendas, the political implications of sociobiology and other scientific theories, the environmental consequences of energy policy, inequalities in health care, and many other issues.

Its members opposed racism, sexism, and classism in science and above all sought to mobilize people working in scientific fields to become active in agitating for science, technology, and medicine that would serve social needs rather than military and corporate interests. They organized in universities and communities, published a magazine offering sharp political analysis, and sought meaningful scientific exchange internationally in Vietnam, China, Cuba, Nicaragua, and other countries.

Some of the issues we face today have changed in important ways, but fundamental questions of power, ideology, and democracy in science remain.

The 2018 U-M Management Conference provides a forum for the university’s managers, at all levels, to learn best practices, hone managerial skills and increase self-knowledge. It includes a keynote, breakouts and a panel session.

Keynote Speaker:
Jacob Morgan

Keynote:
The Future of Work is all About Employee Experience

We invest a great deal of time and money to improve employee engagement, yet our efforts often seem to miss the mark. How can that be? Jacob Morgan, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the future of work and employee engagement, uses his ongoing research of 252 organizations to show how short term “adrenaline shot” programs such as job sharing or working from home, aren’t necessarily the answer. He will demonstrate how the world’s top organizations are redesigning work around their people by focusing on three environments: culture, technology, and the physical workspace. He will share why employee experience is the next big area of investment, what the top organizations are doing, and how you can go about creating an Experiential Organization.

On behalf of the MUSE Organizing Committee*, you are cordially invited to participate in the 2018 Michigan University-wide Sustainability and Environment (MUSE) Conference.

- The annual flagship event of the MUSE Initiative, the MUSE Conference provides a unique venue for sharing research, building new connections, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among all members of the University of Michigan community engaged in the broad range of sustainability and environment-related research. We welcome the involvement of U-M graduate students, as well as University leadership, faculty, and research fellows from all disciplines, including those in arts, humanities, engineering, and natural and social sciences. The 2018 MUSE Conference will consist of interdisciplinary lectures by speakers including Susan Scotti Parrish, author of The Flood Year 1927: A Cultural History, and Claire Vaye Watkins, author of Gold Fame Citrus, as well as panel discussions, a poster session, network-and skill-building workshops, and a public keynote address and reception at Zingerman’s Greyline event space.

- Participants will have opportunities to present both preliminary and final research findings. Thematic facilitated workshops will engage participants at all career stages in structured collaboration and discussion about emerging developments and debates in cross-cutting research topics.

- Please consider participating in the 2018 MUSE Conference by submitting a short abstract. Abstracts on topics related to sustainability and environment may include (but are not limited to) human behavior, environmental history, policymaking and governance, corporate social and environmental responsibility, public health, built environment and infrastructure, land use, energy, water, climate, and ecosystems. Themed interdisciplinary sessions will be designed once abstracts have been reviewed by a selection committee. We encourage submissions to present either specific research outcomes or broader themes related to your research interests.

- Both oral and poster presentation opportunities are available. Short-form oral presentations may be used to share preliminary results or brief research summaries, while longer presentations allow for more depth. When submitting an abstract, you may also opt-in to facilitate a workshop discussion and/or be considered for a brief Up-goer 5-style presentation at the public reception (explaining your research using the “ten hundred” most-used English words).

- The deadline for abstract submission is Thursday, November 9. Please see link for abstract registration. For more information, please go to our conference website:
