- 9:00 AM3hContinuing Education - Building a Private Practice - 3 Parts - Day 2This training is not only for people who are thinking about starting a practice, but also for those who have an existing practice. It's never too late to make some adjustments to your practice that will help it grow more effectively. This training relates to direct practice as it aims to help the clinician build a practice that will benefit the clients it serves and ensure their practice adheres to the strictest of ethical principles. Participants will learn how to build a private practice that meet the needs of the clients they serve and strengthens both the client's treatment experience and the profession as a whole. This training is split into 3 consecutive Tuesday webinars. Participants must attend all 3 sessions to earn CECs. DAY 2 begins with ironing out all the financial aspects of your private practice, including how to set a fee schedule, how and why to work with insurances, how and why to work with private pay options, bank accounts, insurances, and taxes. We will then lay out all the clinical paperwork you need to safeguard your practice the right way.

In a 2002 paper, Laza, Popescu and Pfister used Atiyah's classification of vector bundles over elliptic curves to obtain a description of the maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules (MCM) over \(R\). In particular, the matrix factorizations corresponding to rank one MCMs can be described using points in \(V(f)\). If \(M,\ N\) are rank one MCMs over \(R\), then so is \({m Hom}_R(M,N)\). In this talk, I will discuss how the elliptic group law on \(f\) can be used to obtain the point in \(V(f)\) that describes the matrix factorization corresponding to \({m Hom}_R(M,N)\).
- 11:15 AM1hDoctoral Dissertation Oral Defense, Huiqun HuangAbstract: Accurate and efficient modeling of urban mobility, along with the prediction of vehicle and human trajectories and object detection in traffic, are crucial for ensuring the safety and resilience of intelligent transportation systems and smart cities. However, the dynamic nature of external environments (such as weather conditions, road networks, neighboring vehicles, and passenger behaviors) or intrinsic changes in target data can lead to significant shifts in data distribution. These shifts can invalidate the trained deep learning models and foster overconfidence in model outputs. In this thesis, we introduce both the learning-based and statistical-based methods to address these issues.First, we design an attention based method for the citywide anomaly event prediction. This method effectively models the spatio-temporal characteristics of urban anomaly events and quantifies the varying impacts of urban mobility on the occurrence of anomaly events. Second, we present an extreme-aware framework to predict the citywide urban mobility under anomalous situations. The proposed framework decomposes the regional urban mobility into spatio-temporally varying regular and extreme dynamics. It minimizes the citywide urban mobility prediction loss under distribution shift. Third, we introduce a conformal prediction based and Gaussian process regression based framework to quantify the output uncertainty of existing trajectory prediction models (base models). This framework aims to improve the prediction accuracy of the base models and reduce the uncertainty of the predicted trajectories under distribution shift. Finally, we introduce an uncertainty-aware adversarial training framework that enhance the resiliency of existing collaborative object detection models for autonomous driving against adversarial attacks. More specifically, this framework alleviates the impacts of adversarial attacks by providing output uncertainty estimation through learning-based module and conformal prediction-based calibration.

- 12:45 PM1hDemystifying Judicial ClerkshipsAbout the Program: Members of the UConn Law Clerkship Committee as well as recent alumni will speak and answer questions about judicial clerkships and the application process in an informal setting. There will be a focus on action steps for students seeking positions in the fall of 2027 (predominantly 2L day and 3L evening division students), including planning for letters of recommendation and selecting and finalizing writing samples. Students interested in clerkships in 2026 (3LD/4LE) and 2027 (2LD/3LE) are encouraged to attend. *A note on the clerkship application timeline: while exact application deadlines vary, clerkship applications are generally due about one year in advance of the clerkship (late spring/early summer of 2LD/3LE year). However, there are additional clerkship opportunities with application deadlines in students' 3LD/4LE year.

- 4:30 PM1h 45m999: The Forgotten GirlsABOUT THE FILM999: The Forgotten Girls (https://www.999themovie.com/) Synopsis: This documentary chronicles the untold story of 999 mostly teenage girls betrayed by their government. Told that by volunteering for "work" they would fulfil their patriotic duty, these innocent young women willingly bid their families farewell. Under the cloak of deceit, they were transported on a one-way ticket to Auschwitz. The few who survived endured more than three years in the death camp. Meet the last living survivors of the First Jewish Transport and learn their story. Best-selling author and historian Heather Dune Macadam has adapted her acclaimed book 999 into a powerful documentary that sheds light on a wrenching true story. In March 1942, nearly 1,000 young Slovak Jewish women, mostly teenagers, told by their government that they were embarking on a volunteer work assignment, were instead illegally deported to Auschwitz on what was the first Jewish transport to the Nazi death camp. Rather than strictly focus on the suffering and death experienced by most of the girls, Macadam tells stories of a small group who survived against all odds, even under unimaginable conditions that lasted more than three grueling years. A film of deep research and vivid detail, 999: The Forgotten Girls ensures that these women will no longer be a historical footnote.WATCH THE TRAILERABOUT THE FILMMAKERHeather Dune Macadam (Writer/Director) has spent over 20 years researching and interviewing families, witnesses, and survivors of the first official transport to Auschwitz. Her internationally acclaimed book 999 (published in 2020) has been translated into 18 languages and was a Pen Finalist in 2021.Macadam's first book Rena's Promise, co-written with Holocaust survivor #1716 Rena Kornreich Gelissen is required reading in history classes around the world. In 2011, Macadam founded Rena's Promise Foundation, in the hopes of helping create a more ecumenical world unhindered by prejudice, racism, or hatred.Macadam's work discovering lost girls and young women of the Holocaust has been recognized by Yad Vashem in the UK, the National Museum of Jewish History in Slovakia, and the Memorial Museum of Auschwitz in Poland. A former professor, she has taught journalism and creative nonfiction for over 20 years.
