Where: School of Business, 2nd floor, Atrium Why Attend: Join us for Career Tuesday IN PERSON! The event is at the School of Business are open to all students. This is a chance for you to engage with employers in a casual setting - think of it like a pop-up Career Fair without the long lines. Stop by for a visit with top employers to learn about their current openings and their company culture. Learn about their interviewing practices and make personal connections.

17 artists across the UConn community have their artwork on display in our Connector Gallery.

We will introduce a new online, self-paced course designed by the UConn Library to help our community build practical and ethical fluency with AI. Available to all faculty, staff, and students through the self-enroll section of the HuskyCT Institution Page, "AI Literacy Basics" equips learners with foundational literacies, frameworks, and strategies for working with generative AI in the higher education context. This workshop will demonstrate the course's functionality, walk participants through sample activities, and highlight ways faculty might integrate the modules into their teaching. Whether assigning modules to students, embedding content directly into course shells, or referencing materials for professional development, faculty will leave with an adaptable, ready-to-use resource for navigating AI literacy.

SMART Recovery Meetings - Two Offerings! SMART (Self-Management and Recovery Training) Recovery is an evidence-informed recovery method that supports people with substance dependencies and other addictive or problem behaviors to build and maintain motivation; cope with urges and cravings; manage thoughts, feelings and behaviors; and live a balanced life. The meetings are discussion-based and rely heavily on mutual support, recognizing there is great value in connecting with and learning from peers with similar experiences. Meetings are facilitated by students for students with facilitators being trained in the delivery of SMART Recovery. UConn Storrs offers a weekly in-person meeting on campus at Cordial Storrs House, as well as a weekly meeting that is available online only.IN-PERSON ONLY, Offered at the UConn Recovery Community Mondays, 5:00 - 6:00pm Cordial Storrs House, 1332 Storrs Road, Storrs Campus All UConn Students are Welcome - Any campus!

Host: Yi LiLocation: ATL 109Webex:s.uconn.edu/psla_seminars (http://s.uconn.edu/psla_seminars)  Dr. Yunde Zhao Tata Chancellor's Endowed Professor, Cell and Developmental Biology, University of California San Diego Editor-in-Chief, Plant Physiology Director of Plant Biology, Food & Fuel for the 21st Century, UC San Diego  Improved gene editing technologies revealed how auxin controls flower initiation Dr. Yunde Zhao is an internationally recognized leading expert in auxin biology and plant genome editing. In this special seminar, he will present his recent discoveries in auxin biology and cutting-edge advances in genome editing technologies. Auxin is essential for flower initiation, and mutations disrupting its biosynthesis, transport, or signaling cause pin-like inflorescences. Among these mutants, pin-formed 1 (pin1), which encodes an auxin transporter, has been pivotal in plant developmental biology. PIN1 activity and localization have been proposed to be positively regulated by PINOID (PID) via phosphorylation. Dr. Zhao's group recently developed breakthrough CRISPR-based homologous recombination technologies enabling efficient gene targeting and in situ GFP or epitope tagging without the artifacts of transgenic overexpression. Using this platform, they generated an in-frame PIN1-GFP fusion by knocking GFP into the PIN1 locus. Unexpectedly, PIN1-GFP suppressed pid phenotypes in a semi-dominant manner. Moreover, pid mutants were suppressed when one copy of PIN1 was inactivated, whereas pin1 homozygotes enhanced pid phenotypes. These results contradict a model in which PID directly and positively regulates PIN1. Further analyses showed that PID is not directly responsible for PIN1 phosphorylation, whereas NPY1, although not a kinase, promotes PIN1 phosphorylation and whose mutation enhances pid phenotypes. Because phosphorylation inhibits PIN1 activity, these findings fundamentally revise the current model of the PIN1-PID relationship and advance our understanding of auxin-mediated flower development.  

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/). This session is held by Jessica Doyle, LCSW (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/jessica-doyle/)

As the U.S. population ages, and as care needs become more complex, demand for paid care workers in home and institutional settings has increased. This presentation, based on the book Migrants Who Care introduces the little-known story of a group of West African immigrants who have been called upon to meet this need. The talk will invite a conversation about what it means to give and receive care across racial, class, gender, and citizenship lines.Fumilayo Showers, Sociology Department, UConn
