This course consists of eight online modules that the student can complete independently. An instructor will meet virtually with the students weekly to review each module topic and answer questions. Expect to spend study time reviewing each module topic outside of the review class. A student who completes all the modules, works through the quizzes, and studies the resource materials independently should be able to pass both the written and oral state exam successfully.

This symposium will explore the developments that threaten the news media's ability to function in its historic role as the "Fourth Estate" and will ask whether the law can be used to address these challenges. For example, do current laws (e.g., defamation, broadcast) adequately protect the news media and First Amendment rights? Can social media be regulated or managed in ways that might help increase public confidence in the news media? How can journalists be better protected from threats to their newsgathering and publication efforts? Can or should there be limits on the ability of wealthy private actors to mute or silence media outlets? What can the news media do, if anything, to restore public confidence? The symposium will address these and other questions.   REGISTER HERE (https://www.events.foundation.uconn.edu/ereg/index.php?eventid=856669&)   SCHEDULE (EXACT TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE):   8:30 - 9:00 AM Registration and Breakfast   9:00 - 9:10 AM Opening Remarks & Dean's Welcome   9:10 – 10:10 AM Keynote Speaker: NPR Media Correspondent David Folkenflik (https://www.npr.org/people/4459112/david-folkenflik)For more than two decades, David Folkenflik has served as media correspondent for NPR News.

Structured dialogues increase student engagement and foster inclusive learning environments. By incorporating dialogic modalities into the classroom, students can learn to communicate across difference and navigate challenging conversations, while engaging deeply with course content. In this collaborative workshop, participants will:Gain firsthand experience by participating in a structured dialogue. Learn to build the foundation for a successful dialogue​ in diverse classroom contexts. Explore a wide range of models​ and share ideas. This event is hosted by the ISA, (https://www.isanet.org/)Democracy & Dialogues Initiative (https://humanrights.uconn.edu/areas-of-focus/democracy-dialogues/), a program of Dodd Human Rights Impact in collaboration with the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (https://cetl.uconn.edu/).This workshop is primarily forInstructors in the Classroom.

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)

Ralph LewisUConn Marine Sciences1980-2010: The Cooperative CT DEP-UCONN Avery Point Endeavor to Map the Surficial and Sub-bottom Geology of Long Island Sound(With A Lot of Help From Our Friends) Between 1970 and 1980, there was a growing realization that existing knowledge of the Long Island Sound Basin (LIS) was inadequate to support the Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) expanding regulatory responsibilities. In 1980, this prompted DEP Commissioner Stanley J. Pac to approached UCONN President John A. DiBiaggio with a proposed cooperative DEP/UCONN Marine Sciences LIS sampling/mapping effort. The cooperative agreement for this initiative was signed by both parties later that year. Under the direction of Dr. Sung Feng, a DEP office was established in Dr. Jack Dowling's Lab on the second floor of the Marine Sciences Institute building. Since that time 45 Cruises variously involving UCONN, The USGS, NOAA, Wesleyan Univ., SUNY Stony Brook, UNH, U.S. Minerals Mgt. Service, EPA, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, URI, Boston Univ., National Undersea Research Center, Smith College, and Vrije University, Amsterdam have been conducted. These data collection efforts have yielded 3,500 km of high-resolution, seismic-reflection profiles, supplemented by subsurface Vibracore data; Sound-wide Side-Scan Sonar coverage supplemented by strategically located side scan sonar mosaics; the collection and analysis of 10,000 bottom grab samples (variously including water samples, biological samples, and sediment chemistry) supplemented by ROV, still and video camera photography and submersible dives; and Multibeam bottom topography surveys in 15 selected areas of active sediment transport. Detailed, Sound-wide mapping of the sub-bottom geologic components of the LIS Basin; the extent and distribution of surficial sediments/bedrock outcrops; and sedimentary environments (erosion, transport, deposition, etc.) has proven useful in many applications. One example relates to gaining a better understanding of the Basin's transition from lacustrine to marine sedimentation. There is clear map evidence that since it became an estuary, about 16,000 years before present, the geologic components of the LIS Basin (bedrock, buried coastal-plain strata, recessional moraines, glacial-lake deposits, and the remains of a large marine delta) have interacted with the water body to greatly influence patterns of erosion, transport, and sedimentation. Since tides developed a total of approximately 22.7 billion m3 of marine sediment has accumulated in LIS. A significant portion (44%) of the fine-grained marine section in the Sound's central and western basins was redistributed there from the eastern Sound, as tidal scour removed an estimated 5.3x1012 kg of the fine material from glacial-lake and early-marine deposits east of the Connecticut River. Most of the remainder of the estimated 1.2 X 1013 kg of fine-grained marine sediment that now resides in the central and western Sound can be accounted for by riverine input.Host: Frank BohlenTime & Date: 11:00 am, Friday, October 17, 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).

12 Step Recovery Meetings - Two Offerings! 12 Step Recovery is a fellowship of people who come together to build an individualized program of recovery based on the program's 12 Steps of Recovery. This pathway includes a spiritual component, Higher Power, that is unique to each individual, and that may evolve or change completely over time. 12 Step Recovery at UConn is intended to provide exposure and practice with 1) 12 Steps overall with a strong focus on the first three Steps, 2) primary program components, literature, and guiding principles, and 3) building a community of support and fellowship. 12 Step Recovery is an abstinence-based program designed originally to support people living with addiction to substances; however, it has grown to include other types of addictions and problem behaviors. Meetings are facilitated by students for students. UConn Storrs offers a weekly in-person meeting on campus at Cordial Storrs House, as well as a weekly meeting that is online only. IN-PERSON ONLY, Offered at the UConn Recovery Community Wednesdays, 6:00 - 7:00pm Cordial Storrs House, 1332 Storrs Road, Storrs Campus All UConn Students are Welcome - Any campus!
