Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Mary A. Rackham Institute

The University Center for the Child and Family (UCCF) offers monthly free Parenting Through Separation and Divorce workshops. The link to access the online workshop is provided to participants after registration. All Fall 2022 sessions are scheduled for 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Tuesdays via Zoom.

Session Dates:
- October 11
- November 8
- December 13

Separation or divorce is difficult to handle in general — when children are in the mix, it becomes that much more complex. Many parents are concerned about the well-being of their children during this time of change.

This University Center for the Child and Family workshop delivers practical parenting advice in a collaborative, caring environment for those going through change. We help parents understand their children’s needs during the transition and offer specific suggestions for creating the most beneficial post-divorce parenting relationships.

The program is an approved alternative to the SMILE Program by the Friend of the Court.

What to Expect
- Practical, actionable advice for couples going through a temporary or permanent split.
- A caring and collaborative environment for attendees facilitated by UCCF staff members.
- Guidance to help parents understand their children’s needs during what can be a tumultuous time of change and uncertainty.
- A certificate of participation once the workshop is over.


While it is free, workshop participants must register via Eventbrite. You will be provided the link once your registration is confirmed.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Information and Technology Services (ITS)

The adoption of home devices connected to the internet is growing and so are concerns about child physical and digital safety and privacy in the smart home. The U-M community is invited to join us on Zoom for a presentation and Q&A with Kaiwen Sun, U-M School of Information Ph.D. student, as she explores the discrepancies between marketing depictions and device features, and discusses considerations for keeping children safe in the smart home.

Kaiwen Sun’s research focuses on the intersection of children’s privacy and safety and understanding parents’ perceptions and behaviors around privacy and safety in the context of smart home technologies.

This event is open to the U-M community (umich login required) and will be especially relevant to parents, grandparents, guardians, and others who interact with children in their homes.

Cow Eye Dissection
Have you ever wondered how we see? To take a closer look at the organ that helps us see the world, join UMMNH staff in dissecting a cow’s eye. How is it similar to and different from our eyes, and those of other animals? Learn the parts of the eye and how they work together. While exploring the lens, we’ll also talk about why some of us need glasses and how we can keep our eyes and our vision healthy.

Location: Museum of Natural History
Organized By: Planetarium & Dome Theater at the Museum of Natural History

Intended for young children, Larry Cat In Space is a playful, imaginative cartoon presentation about an inquisitive cat who takes a trip to the Moon. Through Larry's eyes, we observe his human family, and his owner Diana. Larry hides in Diana’s suitcase as she travels to her job on the Moon and experiences weightlessness. Once on the Moon, Larry observes how the Earth looks a lot like the Moon did from his porch back home.

The state-of-the-art Planetarium & Dome Theater at the U-M Museum of Natural History transports visitors beyond distant stars and back in time from the comfort of reclining seats. Tickets $8. Tickets are available on the day of the show at the Museum Store.

Cow Eye Dissection
Have you ever wondered how we see? To take a closer look at the organ that helps us see the world, join UMMNH staff in dissecting a cow’s eye. How is it similar to and different from our eyes, and those of other animals? Learn the parts of the eye and how they work together. While exploring the lens, we’ll also talk about why some of us need glasses and how we can keep our eyes and our vision healthy.

Read and Look | Cleo and Cornelius: A Tale of Two Cities and Two Kitties (March 4, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104617 104617-21809732@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 4, 2023 2:00pm
Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

In this special program just for our younger visitors, we’ll read a kid-friendly book and explore a related part of the exhibit. This is a great way to discover the ancient world and connect our daily lives to the lives of families in the past. The program is a great first trip to the museum! Best for ages 4-7.

The book this month is Cleo and Cornelius. Adventurous Cleo and couch potato Cornelius live in ancient Egypt, where cats are worshiped like gods and goddesses. After Cornelius accidentally boards a boat departing on a voyage across the sea, Cleo and Cornelius find themselves in the faraway city of Rome, a place where dogs are treated like kings. In Rome, the activities never end! Cleo and Cornelius race chariots, play games, perform in a theater, and more. Do they even want to return to Egypt? A spin on Aesop’s classic fable “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse,” Cleo and Cornelius is teeming with hungry hippos, toga-clad dogs, and dancing cat mummies, bringing new excitement to a timeless tale.

This event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event, please visit our accessibility page or contact the education office (734-647-4167). We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Microorganisms, or microscopic organisms, live where no other life can live- like at the bottom of the ocean, in geysers, and in the Dead Sea. But did you know your local ponds are also teeming with microbial life? Roll up your sleeves and prepare to look at these pond water microbes using a microscope. What types of microbes live in ponds, and what purpose do they serve? Get ready to draw, color, and identify microbes in this hands-on activity.

Microorganisms, or microscopic organisms, live where no other life can live- like at the bottom of the ocean, in geysers, and in the Dead Sea. But did you know your local ponds are also teeming with microbial life? Roll up your sleeves and prepare to look at these pond water microbes using a microscope. What types of microbes live in ponds, and what purpose do they serve? Get ready to draw, color, and identify microbes in this hands-on activity.

CREES Noon Lecture. Media for the "Modern Child": Studying Children and Cinema during the Cold War (March 29, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/102691 102691-21804987@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 29, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

This talk considers an enduring question in media theory and practice: how have adult imaginings of childhood perception shaped moving image aesthetics, thought, and culture? It does so through the intertwined histories of a series of institutions founded after World War II to study children’s relationship to the moving image and to make films for young audiences: Yugoslavia’s “Film and Child” commission, the East German National Center for Children’s Film and Television, France’s Institute of Filmology, and Iran’s Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (Kanoon). Via research by sociologist Edgar Morin and “film pedagogue” Miroslav Vrabec, and films by directors Dušan Vukotić and Abbas Kiarostami, the talk illuminates the links between social-scientific investigations of the “modern child” and formal techniques frequently associated with the avant-garde.

Alice Lovejoy is a media and cultural historian and comparatist whose research examines governmental and institutional media in transnational perspective. Her first book, *Army Film and the Avant Garde: Cinema and Experiment in the Czechoslovak Military* (Indiana University Press, 2015), was named co-winner of the Modern Language Association’s 2018 Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Studies in Slavic Languages and Literatures. With Mari Pajala, she co-edited *Remapping Cold War Media: Institutions, Infrastructures, Translations* (Indiana University Press, 2022), and she has published widely on East European, particularly Czech and Slovak, film and literature. Lovejoy has worked as a film critic, curator, and filmmaker, including as an editor at *Film Comment* magazine. Her research has been supported by, among others, an American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) postdoctoral fellowship, a Fulbright-Hays DDRA Fellowship, two Fulbright fellowships, and the University of Minnesota's McKnight-Land Grant Professorship and Talle Faculty Research Award.

This lecture will be presented in person in 555 Weiser Hall and on Zoom. Webinar registration required at http://myumi.ch/e6RAV

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at weisercenter@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: UNICEF at the University of Michigan

This year, for our second annual gala, UNICEF-UM is focusing on ending child marriage in the United States of America. UNICEF defines child marriage as "a harmful practice and a violation of child rights and believes that marriage under age 18 should be prohibited in all circumstances, everywhere." Both UNICEF and the United Nations declare child marriage a human rights violation.

While our gala seeks to celebrate the work of our incredible members over the past academic year, and recognize and send off our seniors, we also hope to inspire our university community to take action with us in an effort to protect children.


UNICEF at Michigan also welcomes three special guests:

Dr. Fatma Müge Göçek: Dr. Göçek is UNICEF UM's faculty advisor and Professor of Sociology at the University of Michigan.

Her research focuses on the comparative analysis of history, politics, and gender in the first and third worlds. She critically analyzes the impact of processes such as development, nationalism, religious movements, and collective violence on minorities. She is currently working on a theory book, constructing social theory from the vantage point of minorities. Learn more here.

Paul Callejas: Paul is a Community Engagement Associate for the Midwestern United States and has become an integral connection for UNICEF UM's members who are eager to take their commitment to UNICEF USA to the next level.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Mary A. Rackham Institute

Separation or divorce is difficult to handle in general — when children are in the mix, it becomes that much more complex. Many parents are concerned about the well-being of their children during this time of change. This University Center for the Child and Family workshop delivers practical parenting advice in a collaborative, caring environment for those going through change. We help parents understand their children’s needs during the transition and offer specific suggestions for creating the most beneficial post-divorce parenting relationships.

The program is an approved alternative to the SMILE Program by the Friend of the Court.

What to Expect
+ Practical, actionable advice for couples going through a temporary or permanent split.
+ A caring and collaborative environment for attendees facilitated by UCCF staff members.
+ Guidance to help parents understand their children’s needs during what can be a tumultuous time of change and uncertainty.
+A certificate of participation once the workshop is over.

While it is free, workshop participants must register via Eventbrite. You will be provided the link once your registration is confirmed.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Mary A. Rackham Institute

This free virtual workshop is designed to help parents or guardians. Your child may have received a formal diagnosis already, or you may suspect they have ADHD or a similar learning challenge.

Participants learn more about what ADHD is, what it “looks” like in children, how it differs from what you might expect/how it is presented in media, and where to go from here.

The workshop is free, but participants are required to register and will receive the Zoom link to access the online event during the registration process.

Upcoming Dates:
- April 11 - Focus on High School-Age
- May 9

Participants can expect to learn:
+ What causes ADHD.
+ What ADHD looks like in children.
+How to support a child with ADHD at home, school, and with friends.

This workshop includes interactive components and a Question-and-Answer session at the end. To help us better prepare and tailor the content of each workshop, we ask participants to provide their most pressing questions in writing when they register.

Location: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Organized By: Kelsey Museum of Archaeology

Join us for our “Read and Look” program in the museum galleries on select Saturdays. We will take over a corner of the museum to read the book “Greece! Rome! Monsters!” by John Harris, then find related artifacts and art on display. This tour is great for our younger visitors, ages 4–8. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Everybody’s heard of a centaur, but not everyone has seen a blue centaur dressed to head out to a disco! He’s one of the updated mythological creatures who populate “Greece! Rome! Monsters!”. This book presents twenty creepy creatures—from harpies to Medusa herself to the fire-breathing Chimera—in jazzy retellings by John Harris, with eye-popping illustrations by Southern California illustrator Calef Brown. Together, the words and pictures provide children (and grownups!) with close encounters of the mythological kind.

This event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event, please visit our accessibility page (https://lsa.umich.edu/kelsey/visit/accessibility.html) or contact the education office (734-647-4167). We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Parenting Through Separation and Divorce Virtual Workshop – Spring 2023 (May 9, 2023 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/106606 106606-21814561@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, May 9, 2023 11:00am
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Mary A. Rackham Institute

Separation or divorce is difficult to handle in general — when children are in the mix, it becomes that much more complex. Many parents are concerned about the well-being of their children during this time of change. This University Center for the Child and Family workshop delivers practical parenting advice in a collaborative, caring environment for those going through change. We help parents understand their children’s needs during the transition and offer specific suggestions for creating the most beneficial post-divorce parenting relationships.

The program is an approved alternative to the SMILE Program by the Friend of the Court.

What to Expect
+ Practical, actionable advice for couples going through a temporary or permanent split.
+ A caring and collaborative environment for attendees facilitated by UCCF staff members.
+ Guidance to help parents understand their children’s needs during what can be a tumultuous time of change and uncertainty.
+A certificate of participation once the workshop is over.

While it is free, workshop participants must register via Eventbrite. You will be provided the link once your registration is confirmed.

This free virtual workshop is designed to help parents or guardians. Your child may have received a formal diagnosis already, or you may suspect they have ADHD or a similar learning challenge.

Participants learn more about what ADHD is, what it “looks” like in children, how it differs from what you might expect/how it is presented in media, and where to go from here.

The workshop is free, but participants are required to register and will receive the Zoom link to access the online event during the registration process.

Upcoming Dates:
- April 11 - Focus on High School-Age
- May 9

Participants can expect to learn:
+ What causes ADHD.
+ What ADHD looks like in children.
+How to support a child with ADHD at home, school, and with friends.

This workshop includes interactive components and a Question-and-Answer session at the end. To help us better prepare and tailor the content of each workshop, we ask participants to provide their most pressing questions in writing when they register.

Friday Night AI: “ChatGPT: What is it and what are its abilities and limitations?” (May 12, 2023 6:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/108003 108003-21818787@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, May 12, 2023 6:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

Free and open to the public

The event will include an interactive activity run by PhD student Naihao Deng to explore the inner-workings behind ChatGPT. Activity appropriate for children and adults alike.

Human: What are you and what kind of applications can you enable?

ChatGPT: I am ChatGPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI. I have been trained on a massive dataset of human language, allowing me to generate responses to prompts and questions in a way that can mimic human conversation. Some of the applications for my technology include customer service chatbots, virtual assistants, language translation, and content generation.

While I can be a useful tool for a wide range of tasks, it’s important to remember that my abilities are still limited and I am not a perfect substitute for human expertise.

Join us for a conversation with Michigan AI experts discussing the technology behind ChatGPT and the main ideas that led to its current performance. We will also address questions such as:

What are ChatGPT’s main abilities and limitations?

What applications can it enable?

How it handles controversial topics, and what ethical concerns it raises?

What are the societal implications, and what changes do we need to start thinking about as technologies like ChatGPT will start being deployed at scale?

About the speakers:
