This training is not only for people who are thinking about starting a practice, but also for those who have an existing practice. It's never too late to make some adjustments to your practice that will help it grow more effectively. This training relates to direct practice as it aims to help the clinician build a practice that will benefit the clients it serves and ensure their practice adheres to the strictest of ethical principles. Participants will learn how to build a private practice that meet the needs of the clients they serve and strengthens both the client's treatment experience and the profession as a whole. This training is split into 3 consecutive Tuesday webinars. Participants must attend all 3 sessions to earn CECs. DAY 3 begins with a discussion of how to market your business, where you should focus and what you should ignore. We then round out the series by exploring how to develop your practice, how to effectively close your practice, and how to troubleshoot your practice when it isn't growing as you would like it to grow.

Dissertation Title: Essays on Economic Resilience Field of Study: Agricultural and Resource Economics

Unlike today's "classical" computers that use electrical signals to represent ones or zeroes, quantum computers employ subatomic particles called qubits. When managed properly, qubits can represent combinations of both ones and zeroes simultaneously in the mysterious world of quantum mechanics. "In some cases, computers with these quantum abilities can solve large-scale problems much faster than their classical counterparts can. Examples include simulating the behavior of matter, analyzing compounds to create new drugs, optimizing factory floors or global supply chains, and identifying fraud ad risk patterns in financial transactions" (MIT website), and cracking the most secure passwords such as those currently used for international bank transactions, even though classical computers operate faster (thus better at solving "smaller" problems). Our discussion will cut through the hype.Walter Krawec, Computing Department, UConn

International migration conjures up high hopes and deep fears. Hopes for the migrants themselves, for those they leave behind in the sending nations from which they derive, and sometimes, fears for the receiving nations to which they arrive. In this talk, I draw attention to migration aspirations—the first, but often understudied stage, in migration projects. I illuminate the experiences of a group of migrants that have received lesser attention in international migration/mobility scholarship—aspiring migrants (people who have yet to leave the home country). Drawing from a case study of medical students in Ghana, West Africa, (a group invisible in studies and depictions of the hypermobile and cosmopolitan international student), allows for engagement with articulations of Afropolitanism. Afropolitanism as an analytic concept, a cultural discourse, and a mode being in the world, highlights a subset of African-origin individuals as global citizens who are making claims to a cosmopolitanism that its proponents argue has previously been denied to Africans. I provide a rich alternative to popular understandings of migrants as feverishly leaving at all costs in search of a "better life," and neo-classical economic models of migration where migratory movements are narrowly attributed to rational economic cost-and-benefit analyses among individual actors. I argue that migration may be imagined as temporary and inspired by factors other than economic and socio-political ones, including affective, emotional, and cosmopolitan desires. I reveal migration desires that are imagined as part of a transient stage in the life course, to escape under resourced educational environments, build human capital, broaden life goals, and to return to contribute to the homeland.Fumilayo Showers is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Africana Studies at the University of Connecticut. Her research interests center on international migration; immigrant labor and entrepreneurship; African immigrants in the US; and health professions (medicine and nursing). She is the author of Migrants Who Care: West Africans Working and Building Lives in US Health Care (Rutgers University Press, 2023).Anna Mae Duane is Professor of English and Director of the UConn Humanities Institute. She teaches and writes in the fields of American Studies, African American Literature, and the Medical Humanities. She's particularly interested in how definitions of youth and childhood shape culture and policy in ways that require the abdication of rights in order to claim care.

The DDI student fellows present the second and final dialogue of their fall series on the evolving relationship between church and state in an ever-changing political climate.The United States was founded on the principle of religious freedom alongside the vision of an independent government. However, the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade and the use of religious rhetoric from government officials when discussing reproductive rights have sparked nationwide legal battles, political debates, and community concerns on the role religion should play in these monumental decisions. These concerns not only challenge the First Amendment but also shape how individuals have been forced to navigate a decreasingly tolerant healthcare system, along with the societal stigma that has erupted in recent years.This dialogue invites participants into a thoughtful, small-table conversation facilitated by the Democracy & Dialogues Initiative. Together, we will examine how religion and reproductive rights intersect and reflect on what these debates reveal about the challenges and promises of democracy in our time.Dinner will be provided.This dialogue is organized by the Democracy & Dialogues Initiative Student Fellows (https://humanrights.uconn.edu/areas-of-focus/democracy-dialogues/fellows/).

Forced from their homes, Orlando, Duke Senior, his daughter Rosalind and niece Celia escape to the fantastical Forest of Arden. Lost amidst the trees, the refugees find community and acceptance under the stars. Featuring an original folk-pop score by Shaina Taub (Suffs), As You Like Itis appropriate for all audiences.This Arden…is a place of refuge, generosity, joy, growth and forgiveness — but most of all, of transformational love.– Variety
