Substance Use Risk Reduction Peer Educators are here to offer a safe and non-judgmental space for students to talk about anything related to alcohol, cannabis, or other substance use- whether it's for yourself or someone you care about. Our peer heath educators are students just like you, trained to provide education, support, and connection to resources on and off-campus on a wide variety of substance use topics.Monday: 11:15 am to 1:15 pm Tuesday: 11:30 am to 1:30 pm Wednesday: 10 am to 12 pm & 5 pm to 7 pm Thursday: 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm Student Health and Wellness peer educators 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.

Grading rubrics are an assessment tool that helps instructors and students focus attention on the important aspects of an assignment. Rubrics promote grading practices that are consistent and free from bias. This introductory workshop explores the elements of a rubric, methods to design rubrics with and without student involvement, and how to apply them within your courses. Attendees are encouraged to bring their rubrics for small group collaborations or their syllabus and ideas for an assignment that would benefit from a rubric. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:Identify the value and role of rubrics in measuring student learning Recognize the steps in creating a rubric Connect rubrics with outcomes and learning data Identify an assignment in your course that could use a rubric and draft the criteria Register - https://fins.uconn.edu/secure_inst/workshops/workshop_view.php?ser=3393 (https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffins.uconn.edu%2Fsecure_inst%2Fworkshops%2Fworkshop_view.php%3Fser%3D3393&data=05%7C02%7Cstacey.valliere%40uconn.edu%7C10da87505b654dc4c94c08dd44664efe%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C638741928383151732%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=QAlQQ3HyW47Eb0rD9jNOTwVrVzocwbaicFuAfUPuFt8%3D&reserved=0)

Abstract: In this talk, we consider a competition between d+1 players, and aim to identify the "most exciting game" of this kind. This is translated, mathematically, into a stochastic optimization problem over martingales that live on the d-dimensional subprobability simplex and terminate on the vertices of the simplex, with a cost function related to a scaling limit of Shannon entropies. We uncover a surprising connection between this problem and the seemingly unrelated field of Monge-Ampère equations, and identify the optimal martingale via a detailed analysis of boundary asymptotics of a Monge-Ampère equation. Speaker's bio: Dr. Xin Zhang is an assistant professor in the Financial and Risk Engineering (FRE) department at New York University (NYU). Before joining NYU, he was a University Assistant at the University of Vienna from 2021 to 2024. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Michigan in 2021, after completing a B.S. in Mathematics at Fudan University in 2016. Xin's research focuses on optimal transport, stochastic analysis and control, particularly their applications in Finance and Machine Learning. His specific interests include viscosity solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations and optimal transport in robust finance.

Dr. Ryan Abbott, MITNormalizing Flows for Lattice QCD Normalizing flows have recently arisen as a potential tool for accelerating lattice field theory calculations. In this talk I will give an overview of how normalizing flows have been applied to field theories, in particular focusing on recent progress applying normalizing flows to lattice QCD as well as current efforts to scale flow models towards modern lattice field theory calculations.

Please join us to learn about why UConn is launching a campaign and details around the campaign pillars, goals, and benefits. Participants will gain a clear understanding of what the campaign is about and how each of us can be ambassadors for UConn and contribute to the success of the campaign. Please register via this online form by Feb. 21st to receive the zoom link and indicate if you require any accommodations.

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.
