Join the UConn Office of Outreach and Engagement for a virtual presentation introducing the Connecticut Nonprofit Asset Mapping Tool, a new digital resource that visualizes where and how nonprofit organizations are serving communities across the state. Created by the UConn School of Public Policy with funding from the Education Committee of the State of Connecticut legislature, this tool is designed to strengthen collaboration, inform strategic decision-making, and highlight the vital contributions of Connecticut's nonprofit sector. During this session, participants will: • Learn about the purpose and features of the asset mapping tool • Explore how the resource can support data-informed decision-making • Identify opportunities for collaboration and regional partnerships • Consider potential applications for research, advocacy, and strategic planningPresenter: Mohamad Alkadry, PhD, Professor and Connecticut Nonprofit Asset Mapping Tool Project Lead, and David Garvey, PhD, Professor, School of Public Policy

Join us for a timely discussion with Professor Justin Driver of Yale Law School as he explores themes from his new book, The Fall of Affirmative Action: Race, The Supreme Court and the Future of Higher Education. Professor Driver will analyze the Supreme Court's momentous decision in SFFA v. Harvard and illuminate the constitutional path going forward regarding racial diversity in the Age of Trump. Books will be available for sale during and after the event.Pizza, salad and beverages will be served.

Barbershop The "Barbershop Group" is a therapy group for men who have had past traumatic experiences and would like to learn new ways of coping and managing the effects of that trauma. The group recognizes the need for men to develop different skills that will effectively improve how we express our emotions and build relationships in a safe space. What better place to do that than the barbershop? The Barbershop model is derived from the "Men's Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model"- (M-TREM.) The Barbershop Group uses a Psycho-educational and skills-oriented approach that is person-centered. Over the years The Barbershop has provided men with a safe, non-judgmental setting where they can speak freely and be themselves. Unfortunately, we will not be providing haircuts, but we will be providing open discussion where honest responses in group discussions are encouraged, and we will engage in several exercises that are used to introduce you to and try new coping skills. I look forward to seeing you all at "The Shop".To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:860-486-4705). This session is held by Greg Davis, LPC (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/greg-davis/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.

Huskies on Track: Navigating ADHD at UConn This group provides a space to discuss the ways ADHD can show up in your life. We'll focus on understanding how ADHD functions in the brain, navigating common challenges people with ADHD face, and talking about the emotional experience of living in a world designed for neurotypical people. The goal of this group is to help create a sense of community and understanding for students with ADHD at UConn. Example topics that the group will cover include time management, task prioritizing, and emotional regulation. All individuals who feel the group would be beneficial to them are welcome, regardless of whether they have a formal ADHD diagnosis.To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:860-486-4705).

Dr. Eugene Knyazev, Harvard UniversityEntanglement Assisted Non-local Optical Interferometry in a Quantum Network Non-local optical measurements at very low light levels—key to long-baseline telescope arrays—benefit from remote entanglement. In this talk, I will present a non-local phase-sensing implementation using entangled quantum memories based on silicon-vacancy centers in diamond nanocavities. Using event-ready remote entanglement, photon-mode erasure to remove which-path information, and non-local, non-destructive photon heralding we realize an entanglement-assisted differential phase measurement of weak light between two stations. We demonstrate the protocol with a 1.55-km fiber link network, building a pathway towards new quantum-enhanced imaging and interferometric applications.
