Master Calendar

Uncertainty in the federal funding landscape has prompted researchers to consider multiple options and strategies to sustain and build their research programs. Entrepreneurial activities are one potential path. What are the considerations and processes for working with industry or launching a business venture that leverages your research program and expertise? The goal of this research conversation is to learn through the experiences of colleagues that are engaged in these activities and to be introduced to the resources available at UConn to support you through the process.Featured PanelistsRahul Kanadia, Associate Professor, Department of Physiology & Neurobiology Michael Lynes, Professor, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology Greg Sotzing, Professor, Department of Chemistry and Institute for Materials Sciences Carlos Trallero, Professor, Department of Physics Ryan McMillian, Director, Venture Development at the University of Connecticut RSVP for this event (https://forms.office.com/r/dBj4zm4tsW)

BLOOM: Undergraduate Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) This group is a space created for female Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) - identifying students to cultivate vulnerability, safety, trust, connection, and growth. Bloom provides a place for group members to discuss issues unique to their experience at a predominantly white institution (PWI), including academic stress, relationships, race/ethnicity related stress, familial pressures and navigating cultural expectations.

During the past fifty years, the music world has witnessed the development of a new approach to the wind band, an approach that has drawn attention to an emerging original repertoire and to new performance possibilities for concerted wind music. Many conductors, composers and performers have moved from the popular-culture aspects of the traditional band toward a classical performance-based medium. Using an instrumentation similar to that of a "double orchestral wind section", the wind ensemble performs music composed during the past five centuries for winds, brass, percussion and keyboards. A majority of the repertoire composed specifically for various combinations of these instruments has been created during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. With the rich history of the past, the contemporary wind ensemble provides a wide variety of music ranging from the classical octet to contemporary chamber repertoire and the sonorous full ensemble.
