The Leadership Legacy Experience is the University of Connecticut's most elite, immersive leadership program that helps prepare talented students for a life of commitment and contribution beyond graduation. The program recognizes and invites the University of Connecticut's most exceptional undergraduate students to participate in a one-year leadership development program starting in January and ending in December of 2025. Throughout the year, students will engage in biweekly leadership reflections that promote personal and professional development. Additionally, Leadership Legacy Experience hosts a series of interactive excursions such as a whitewater rafting trip, banquet, retreat, homecoming tailgate reunion, and so much more—all paid for. This is an extraordinary opportunity for student-leaders who are seeking personal growth, institutional recognition, networking opportunities, and a thrilling, hands-on learning experience.

Barbara Hocker presents a series of tranquil abstracts entitled "Water Poems" and Jennifer Okumura presents her abstract series entitled "Joy." Stop by to view these exhibits in the north side of our main dining facility from Aug. 8 through Nov. 7. Join us for a reception Thursday, Aug. 22, from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

UConn Sexpert Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a new, 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: 11:00am-4:00pm                                                                                 Tuesdays: 3:00pm-6:30pm                                                                              Wednesdays: 10:30am-6:30pm                                                                              Thursdays: 3:30pm-6:30pm                                                                                        Fridays: 10:30am-5:00pm UConn Sexperts (and supervising staff) are designated confidential employees under UConn's Title IX Reporting Obligations.

Peer support visits are not on-call or emergency services, and are not for individualized medical advice, nor are they counseling or therapy.

Given a modular form \(f\), one can construct a measure \(\mu_f\) on the modular surface \(SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}\). The celebrated mass equidistribution theorem of Holowinsky and Soundararajan states that as \(kightarrow\infty\), the measure \(\mu_f\) approaches the uniform measure on the surface. Given a maximal order in a quaternion algebra which is non-split over \(\mathbb{Q}\), a maximal order leads to a cocompact subgroup of \(R^1\subseteq SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\) where the quotient \(R^1\backslash\mathbb{H}\) is a Shimura curve. Given a Hecke form \(f\) on this Shimura curve, one can construct the analogous measure \(\mu_f\), and ask about the limit as \(kightarrow\infty\). Recent work of Nelson relates this equidistribution problem for the cocompact case to obtaining bounds on sums of Hecke eigenvalues summed over quadratic progressions. In this talk, I will describe this problem in both the cocompact and non-cocompact case while highlighting how differences in algebras lead to differences in geometry. I will then state progress that I have made on bounds of sums of Hecke eigenvalues summed over quadratic progressions when averaged over a basis of Hecke forms.

Host: Haiying TaoLocation: YNG 132Webex Link: s.uconn.edu/psla_seminarsRoy Davis is a plant pathologist and postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture. He received his B.S. in Biology from Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC, in 2015. Roy obtained his Ph.D. in Plant Pathology & Microbiology in 2022 from the Texas A&M University in College Station, TX. His graduate research focused on using molecular techniques to describe the epidemiology ofFusarium oxysporum f. sp.vasinfectum race 4, a devastating soilborne fungal pathogen of cotton. Since July 2022, Roy has been working on investigating the population genetics ofAlternaria brassicicola in the Everhart Lab at UConn. In addition to his research, Roy is also an adjunct professor teachingPrinciples and Conceptsof AgroecologyandEnvironmental Sustainability of Food Production in Developed Countries.Alternaria blight and head rot (ABHR) is a major disease in broccoli production that is primarily caused by theAlternaria brassicicola in the East Coast of the United States. In conventionally managed fields,A. brassicicola is typically controlled using fungicides containing azoxystrobin. In Connecticut, however, broccoli and other brassica crops are typically grown using organic agricultural practices. Under organic management, ABHR negatively affects the marketability of heads broccoli and the leaves of other brassica crops. A multistate survey was undertaken to describe the population genetics ofA. brassicicola, and to catalog any additional, related species. In addition, novel microsatellite markers were designed to investigate the amount and pattern of genetic variation to better understand the dispersal and reproductive strategies ofA. brassicicola.Join us after the seminar for our PSLA T-Shirt event (https://events.uconn.edu/plant-science-and-landscape-architecture/event/326808-psla-t-shirt-recruitment-day)!

All Recovery Meetings are available for UConn students. The meetings are a gathering for all who struggle with substance use and/or other mental and behavioral health disorders. An All Recovery meeting is 'non-denominational' meaning all pathways of recovery are embraced here. A universal recovery topic is chosen and then the group discusses it. It is not affiliated with any "Anonymous" program although you are likely to hear comments associated with 12 step fellowships. Meetings are facilitated by a student member of the URC supported by a Recovery Coach and held in person and online for students from all of UConn's campuses.
