More info about SHaW's Group Sessions. (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/mental-health/group-therapy/)Families with Addiction This group is for students who are or have been deeply affected by having parent(s) or sibling(s) struggling with addictions. May also consider situations where the family member's primary issue is a severe psychiatric disorder, but that substance use is also present. To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:+18604864705) This session is held by Jonathan Beazley, LMFT, SW (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/jonathan-beazley/) 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.

Title: "A Cell-Based Approach for the Functional Analysis of Germline Variants in the Mismatch Repair Genes MSH2 and MSH6" Major Advisor: Dr. Christopher Heinen

UConn Sexpert Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a free service offered by peer health educators, the UConn Sexperts, 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. Our UConn 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.Mondays: 10am-1pm Tuesdays: 10am-12pm Wednesdays: 9am-6pm Thursdays: 9am-6pm Fridays: 2pm-5pm UConn 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.

Join us in the Logic Colloquium for a talk by WooJin Chung (https://woojin-chung.github.io/) (Seoul National University). Details t.b.a.https://logic.uconn.edu/calendar/ (https://logic.uconn.edu/calendar/)

Dr. Todd J. Martinez, Department of Chemistry and The PULSE Institute, Stanford UniversityDiscovering Chemistry and Photochemistry From First Principles Molecular Dynamics Novel computational architectures and methodologies are revolutionizing diverse areas ranging from video gaming to advertising and espionage. In this talk, I will discuss how these tools and ideas can be exploited in the context of theoretical and computational chemistry. I will show how the resulting advances in the efficiency of quantum chemistry can be harnessed to progress from traditional "hypothesis-driven" methods for using electronic structure and first principles molecular dynamics to a "discovery-driven" mode where the computer is tasked with discovering chemical reaction networks. We apply this reaction discovery method to methane pyrolysis, as an example where direct comparison to experimental results is possible. I show that the first principles method with no experimental input produces predictions in agreement with experiments and as good as bespoke models parameterized to experimental data. I then discuss the extension of these ideas to photochemical reactions involving electronic excited states. Finally, I describe our recent efforts to make computational chemistry tools broadly accessible for both education and research purposes.

Come check out Spring Valley Student Farm! Have fun meeting students from all across campus while engaging in a variety of farming activities including planting seeds, weeding, and harvesting fresh healthy food for our UConn community. This is a great way to earn community service hours! No previous experience is necessary. Remember to dress for outdoor conditions including warm water-repellant footwear.Rain/weather: Farm Friday operates in all weather except thunderstorms. We host semi-indoor activities during rain. In the case of thunder, we will cancel in advance or send folks home. Transportation: The farm is located at 104 Spring Manor Road, about 4.5 miles from the Storrs campus. All are welcome to drive, carpool, or bike to the farm. We also provide a shuttle. Carpool: The farm is located at 104 Spring Manor Road, behind the house. Please park in the large grassy lot (do not block the driveway). Carpooling volunteers are welcome to arrive and depart anytime between 4pm and 6pm. Our shuttles have limited space, so if you have access to a car, we would love for you to drive over with some friends. Bike: Our recommended biking route.png. Community Outreach Shuttle: This shuttle is by RSVP only. Find the Farm Friday you want to attend listed on the Community Service Days events page on UConntact: https://uconntact.uconn.edu/organization/cocsd/events (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuconntact.uconn.edu%2Forganization%2Fcocsd%2Fevents&data=05%7C02%7Crebecca.desroches%40uconn.edu%7C5233356e14c3419308af08dcc8eb516b%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638606160299621867%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=t04BubuaPWlTaMCtP4K6FvLW1h4hBHud1XR%2FczCyFwA%3D&reserved=0). RSVP early to make sure you get a spot! You will receive an email from the transportation organizers on Friday morning. Typically, the shuttle picks up from outside South Garage around 3:30pm—but be sure to read the email to confirm. The shuttle is a minibus driven by Community Outreach staff.
