Stop by South Campus to connect with Student Health and Wellness's Sexperts & chat about sex and relationships! Sexpert Peer Health Educator Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a free service offered on the UConn Storrs campus. Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a great option for students who have questions about sex and sexual health, are looking for a non-judgmental, laid-back environment to discuss a sex related concern or issue, or are interested in improving their sexual health and personal well-being. The Sexperts are trained to provide education, support, and connection to resources on and off-campus on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sex, sexual health, and relationships.  Fall 2025 Drop In Hours: September 15th – December 5thMonday: 12pm-4pm Tuesday: 9am-6:30pm Wednesday: 11:15am-6pm Thursday: 11am-5:30pm Friday: 10:30am-5:30pm Sexperts (and supervising staff) are designated confidential employees under UConn's Title IX Reporting Obligations. Peer support sessions are for educational and support purposes only. Peer support visits are not on-call or emergency services, and are not for individualized medical advice, nor are they counseling or therapy. If you can't make the times listed, or would prefer to schedule an appointment with a staff sex educator, please reach out to Program Manager for Sexual Health and Peer Education Initiatives, Cassy Setzler, at cassy@uconn.edu (mailto:cassy@uconn.edu) For more information, visit: studenthealth.uconn.edu/sexperts (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/sexperts) or email cassy@uconn.edu (mailto:cassy@uconn.edu)

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/).

Peisen TanUConn Marine SciencesThe melodious encounter of the atmosphere and the ocean: Air-sea interaction across a wide range of wind and wave conditions Ocean waves profoundly contribute to the upper ocean turbulence and mixing. Most ocean waves are generated by the wind. However, a lack of quantitative measurement of wave growth under wind forcings exists due to instrument limitations. To thoroughly study the wave growth under wind forcing and improve numerical wave models, we conducted laboratory experiments for a wide range of wind forcing in the University of Miami's wind-wave facility SUSTAIN (SUrge STructural Air-sea INteraction Facility). Pure wind seas, irregular JONSWAP spectrum waves, and regular monochromatic waves at different frequencies were generated by the mechanical paddles for testing. We directly measured the static air pressure, wind speeds, and water surface displacement at sampling frequencies up to 1000 Hz. In addition, a wave follower was deployed to sample the static pressure behind the wave crest. Our wave growth rates agree with the revisited Miles' Theory that incorporates airside turbulence. The Jeffreys' Sheltering hypothesis remains valid, although it depends on an empirical constant: the sheltering coefficient A. We found that A follows a "U" shape with wind forcing: The strongest aerodynamic sheltering, corresponding to the smallest A, was identified at U10 around 33 m/s (Category-1 hurricane intensity). Our wind stress partition at the air-sea interface agrees with previous laboratory and model results. Our findings suggest that airflow separation plays a pivotal role in the wave growth and that some tuning of existing wave growth theories paves the way for a novel parameterization of wave growth and wind input in future wave models.Host: Cara ManningTime & Date: 11:00 am, Friday, November 7, 2025Place: Lowell Weicker Building, Seminar Room 103 (or Webex)Request Seminar InformationCancellation & Additional Seminar Details (https://marinesciences.uconn.edu/seminar/seminar1258/)If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations, please contact 860-405-9152 (tel:+18604059152) or email marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu (mailto:marinesciencesseminars@uconn.edu).This is an Honors Event.

Marketing Department Seminar Series (https://marketing.business.uconn.edu/research/seminar-series/) Name: Kelley Gullo Wight (https://kelley.iu.edu/faculty-research/faculty-directory/profile.html?id=kgullo) Institution: Indiana University Topic: Emotionality of Online Reviews Varies by Time of Day

Designed for psychiatry department clinicians. Learning objectives: 1. Identify autism in adults who are high functioning and do not show obvious signs 2. Differentiate between autism and other diagnoses which have similar presentations 3. List sensory issues which impact autistic adults and their behavior 4. Discuss the reasons why people self-diagnose their autism 5. Define neuroaffirmation and its implementation
