This course consists of eight online modules that the student can complete independently. An instructor will meet virtually with the students weekly to review each module topic and answer questions. Expect to spend study time reviewing each module topic outside of the review class. A student who completes all the modules, works through the quizzes, and studies the resource materials independently should be able to pass both the written and oral state exam successfully.

Appointments are required, please contact our community health worker, Rosa Agosto, at 959-258-0468 to schedule or with any questions.

This symposium will explore the developments that threaten the news media's ability to function in its historic role as the "Fourth Estate" and will ask whether the law can be used to address these challenges. For example, do current laws (e.g., defamation, broadcast) adequately protect the news media and First Amendment rights? Can social media be regulated or managed in ways that might help increase public confidence in the news media? How can journalists be better protected from threats to their newsgathering and publication efforts? Can or should there be limits on the ability of wealthy private actors to mute or silence media outlets? What can the news media do, if anything, to restore public confidence? The symposium will address these and other questions.   REGISTER HERE (https://www.events.foundation.uconn.edu/ereg/index.php?eventid=856669&)   SCHEDULE (EXACT TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE):   8:30 - 9:00 AM Registration and Breakfast   9:00 - 9:10 AM Opening Remarks & Dean's Welcome   9:10 – 10:10 AM Keynote Speaker: NPR Media Correspondent David Folkenflik (https://www.npr.org/people/4459112/david-folkenflik)For more than two decades, David Folkenflik has served as media correspondent for NPR News.

Abstract Let \(\mu\) be a probability measure on a group. A function satisfying the mean-value property with respect to \(\mu\) is called \(\mu\)-harmonic. The space of bounded harmonic functions plays a central role in understanding both the algebraic and geometric properties of groups, as well as the long-term behavior of the associated random walk. A measure \(\mu\) is called Liouville if every bounded \(\mu\)-harmonic function is constant (equivalently, if the Poisson boundary is trivial). In this talk, I will show that the set of non-degenerate Liouville measures on a countable amenable group with the infinite conjugacy class property is not closed under convex combinations.This talk is based on joint work with Joshua Frisch from the University of California in San Diego.

Students who may benefit from attending a Let's Talk: Mental Health Office Hours session include:Students who want help connecting to resources but are unsure where to begin Students who are looking for advice on a non-clinical issue Students who are unsure about therapy and are curious about what it is like to talk to a therapist Students who may have concerns about the mental health of a friend and seek advice on how to support their friend If a student is not an imminent risk, and is refusing your support in contacting our office, you may also consider contacting the UConn Student CARE Team (https://studentcareteam.uconn.edu/).

Ralph LewisUConn Marine Sciences1980-2010: The Cooperative CT DEP-UCONN Avery Point Endeavor to Map the Surficial and Sub-bottom Geology of Long Island Sound(With A Lot of Help From Our Friends) Between 1970 and 1980, there was a growing realization that existing knowledge of the Long Island Sound Basin (LIS) was inadequate to support the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) expanding regulatory responsibilities. In 1980, this prompted DEP Commissioner Stanley J. Pac to approached UCONN President John A. DiBiaggio with a proposed cooperative DEP/UCONN Marine Sciences LIS sampling/mapping effort. The cooperative agreement for this initiative was signed by both parties later that year. Under the direction of Dr. Sung Feng, a DEP office was established in Dr. Jack Dowling's Lab on the second floor of the Marine Sciences Institute building. Since that time 45 Cruises variously involving UCONN, The USGS, NOAA, Wesleyan Univ., SUNY Stony Brook, UNH, U.S. Minerals Mgt. Service, EPA, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, URI, Boston Univ., National Undersea Research Center, Smith College, and Vrije University, Amsterdam have been conducted. These data collection efforts have yielded 3,500 km of high-resolution, seismic-reflection profiles, supplemented by subsurface Vibracore data; Sound-wide Side-Scan Sonar coverage supplemented by strategically located side scan sonar mosaics; the collection and analysis of 10,000 bottom grab samples (variously including water samples, biological samples, and sediment chemistry) supplemented by ROV, still and video camera photography and submersible dives; and Multibeam bottom topography surveys in 15 selected areas of active sediment transport. Detailed, Sound-wide mapping of the sub-bottom geologic components of the LIS Basin; the extent and distribution of surficial sediments/bedrock outcrops; and sedimentary environments (erosion, transport, deposition, etc.) has proven useful in many applications. One example relates to gaining a better understanding of the Basin's transition from lacustrine to marine sedimentation. There is clear map evidence that since it became an estuary, about 16,000 years before present, the geologic components of the LIS Basin (bedrock, buried coastal-plain strata, recessional moraines, glacial-lake deposits, and the remains of a large marine delta) have interacted with the water body to greatly influence patterns of erosion, transport, and sedimentation. Since tides developed a total of approximately 22.7 billion m3 of marine sediment has accumulated in LIS. A significant portion (44%) of the fine-grained marine section in the Sound's central and western basins was redistributed there from the eastern Sound, as tidal scour removed an estimated 5.3x1012 kg of the fine material from glacial-lake and early-marine deposits east of the Connecticut River. Most of the remainder of the estimated 1.2 X 1013 kg of fine-grained marine sediment that now resides in the central and western Sound can be accounted for by riverine input.Host: Frank BohlenTime & Date: 11:00 am, Friday, October 17, 2025Place: Lowell Weicker Building, Seminar Room 103 (or Webex)Request Seminar InformationCancellation & Additional Seminar Details (https://marinesciences.uconn.edu/seminar/seminar1258/)If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations, please contact 860-405-9152 (tel:+18604059152) or email marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu (mailto:marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu).This is an Honors Event.
