Enjoy this unique exhibition of rock music memorabilia from the archive of editor, journalist, and radio disc jockey Ken Best. This personal collection features decades worth of iconic photos, album covers, posters and promotional materials that Best has amassed while writing about music for newspapers in New Jersey and Connecticut and interviewing musicians and authors on the radio at WPKN in Bridgeport and WHUS in Storrs. Highlighted will be 50 photos of major rock 'n' roll figures by Connecticut photographer Joseph Sia, including his famous image of Jimi Hendrix at Woolsey Hall in New Haven in 1968, known as "The Shadow," from Best and Sia's 1992 book,Eight Days a Week: An Illustrated Record of Rock 'n' Roll (Pomegranate Books).

9:30-10:00 Welcome and intro10:00-11:45 Panel 1: CareHow can AI care for us? What are the challenges and opportunities for integrating vulnerable patient voices in healthcare? How is AI changing how we care for one another as AI companions and therapists become more common?11:45-12:30 Lunch and Networking12:30-2:15 Panel 2: LiteracyWhat does it mean to be "literate" in AI? This panel will bring together educators, historians and literary experts to ask how the rise of AI literacy evokes comparisons to past transformations in literacy, and concomitant expansions of democratic and economic participation. What do we risk if we restrict literacy to an elite few? What skill sets are required to make us truly AI literate?2:15-2:30 Coffee Break2:30-4:15 Panel 3: Rights (to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?)How will AI transform property rights, labor rights and human rights? What values are at stake, and how do we preserve them?4:30-5:30 Keynote Speaker5:30-6:30 Reception

This workshop will guide participants in the development and implementation of effective community-campus partnerships.By the end of the workshop, participants will develop a list of partnership principles that fit the needs and work of their particular unit and discuss how to use the principles to navigate challenges in community-university partnerships.

It is written and performed by Angel Vazquez who was the artist-in-resident for the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College in New York (CUNY), and is a renowned actor, director, and playwright from Puerto Rico.

Join us for an engaging and structured dialogue led by Professors Mary Anne Amalaradjou and Peter Chen focused on effective mentoring of graduate students and fostering an inclusive academic environment. This session will highlight best practices that support the holistic development of mentees, both in their research endeavors and teaching responsibilities. Participants will explore strategies for building inclusive mentoring relationships, addressing the diverse needs of graduate students, and creating supportive, equitable environments that enhance student success. The discussion will be applicable across multiple contexts—from individual labs and research groups to departmental and institutional levels—providing actionable insights for faculty, postdocs, and academic leaders committed to cultivating a culture of inclusive excellence in graduate education.See more about all Timely Topics offered by The Graduate School.

I will discuss a model of elastic dislocations applicable to buried faults in the Earth's crust in between seismic events. The forward problem amounts to solving a non-standard transmission problem for a system of linear PDES in elastostatics, knowing the fault and how much the rock has slipped at the fault. The inverse problem consists in determining the geometry of the fault and the slip at the fault from surface measurements, which can be obtained from GPS and satellite data. While the direct problem is well posed, the inverse problem is generally ill-posed unless assumptions are made on the fault. I will present a uniqueness result for the inverse problem and an iterative reconstruction algorithm based on a distributed shape derivative, which measures the change in the rock displacement under infinitesimal movements of the fault and the slip. I will close with some simple numerical tests from synthetic data. If time permits, I will also discuss non-linear and non-local viscoelastic models for the fault dynamics. This is joint work with Andrea Aspri (University of Milan), Elena Beretta (NYU-Abu Dhabi), Maarten de Hoop (Rice University), and PhD student Arum Lee.

As you consider the Doctorate (PhD) program in Business Administration at UConn, it is extremely important that you make an informed choice, and attending a virtual infosession is a valuable way to gather the missing pieces. The PhD Virtual Infosessions are an ideal opportunity to learn first-hand about our highly regarded program and hear from admissions representatives. This event will specifically cover the Accounting Ph.D. Concentration whereby you will interact with current faculty and students.
