 I will begin my talk with a brief yet engaging overview of classical and elegant results on the differentiability properties of convex functions. This will be a fun and accessible ten-minute crash course in convex analysis, designed to capture everyone's interest. The remainder of my talk will focus on the three recent papers listed below, and I hope it will be easy to follow for anyone with a basic graduate-level background. I will present new results on the approximation of convex functions and provide a solution to a problem that has remained open for the past three decades. As a byproduct of our methods, I will also give a simple and geometric proof of Alexandrov's celebrated theorem on the second-order differentiability of convex functions. [1] D. Azagra, M. Drake, P. Hajlasz, C^2-Lusin approximation of strongly convex functions. Inventiones Math. 236 (2024), 1055-1082. [2] D. Azagra, A. Cappello, P. Hajlasz, A geometric approach to second-order differentiability of convex functions. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. Ser. B 10 (2023), 382-397. [3] D. Azagra, P.

Yogais protective and enlivening. Freeing you from habitual patterns of tension, this yoga creates a sense of spaciousness within, dissolves stress, strengthens core muscles, joint health, centeredness, postural alignment and groundedness, increases breath capacity and breath awareness, shifts stagnant emotions into movement and release, and is attentive to the subtle stuff of the mind, helping to free us from the driving forces of unconscious actions and thoughts. You'll practice yogic techniques that you can bring into your everyday experience for simply living a good day, and for increasing your capacity to be creatively present in your life. A yogic attitude toward self and practice is one of kindness, patience, and tenderness. We grow into our best selves in an inner atmosphere of loving care. Open to all UConn students, faculty and staff from any campus. No experience required.

More info about SHaW's Group Sessions. (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/mental-health/group-therapy/) BLOOM: Undergraduate Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) This group is a space created for female Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) - identifying students to cultivate vulnerability, safety, trust, connection, and growth. Bloom provides a place for group members to discuss issues unique to their experience at a predominantly white institution (PWI), including academic stress, relationships, race/ethnicity related stress, familial pressures and navigating cultural expectations. There will be an emphasis on healing, maintaining healthy relationships and setting boundaries. Bloom means to be open, blossom and to maintain flourishing conditions that help us grow. It's time to Bloom. To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:+18604864705) This session is held by Chantaul Smith, LMFT (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/chantaul-smith/) 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.

In this extraordinary conversation, panelists — including survivor voices from the Holocaust, Cambodia, Burundi, and Bosnia-Herzegovina — will share their lived experiences during the genocide, its impact on their lives, and the paths to resilience they have engaged.
