Lambda Theta Alpha Latin Sorority, Inc. and Pi Delta Psi Fraternity, Inc. are partnering to host a Thanksgiving Food Drive in support of the Covenant Soup Kitchen. Over the course of two weeks, we will collect non-perishable food donations from students, faculty, and community members to help provide meals for families in need during the holiday season. Donation boxes will be placed throughout campus, including at cultural centers, Rowe, Wilbur Cross, and other central locations. This initiative aims to foster community engagement, promote service, and highlight the importance of giving back. By working together, we hope to make a meaningful impact and ensure that more families can enjoy a warm meal this Thanksgiving!

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.

All workshops are held for 6 hours virtually (on Teams), and open to all (both affiliates and non-affiliates of UConn). Topics and Dates: * Intro to R (November 13th) * Intro to Statistics in R (November 11th) * Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Models (October 24th) * Mixed Effects Models (December 15th) $75/workshop for UConn affiliates and $90/workshop. These workshops are geared to providing practical instruction on these topics, allowing users to leave with skill they could use in their own research. All data and code that will be needed for the workshop or generated in the workshop will be made available to all participants so they will be able to revisit the material at any time on their own.

English workshops are available for 10-weeks in the Fall and Spring semesters. These workshops can be used to improve the communication skills needed to meet the university's English requirement for teaching undergraduate students (TA's) These workshops will help participants develop the speaking skills needed to convey their ideas clearly when presenting in front of an audience. Students will practice presenting information relevant to their field of study and be actively involved in self-assessment and peer assessment. Content will be adapted to suit the group's needs. Conversation partners will join the last hour of class to provide opportunities for practice, feedback, and questions. Registration for the workshop series is highly recommended to guarantee a seat. Who can register? UConn undergraduates, graduates, J1 scholars, J2, F2, exchange students (EGL).https://ita.uconn.edu/english-support/ (https://ita.uconn.edu/english-support/) 

In the representation theory of Lie groups (or the representation theory of their corresponding Lie algebras), diagrammatic methods have often proven to be very useful for computational purposes. One particularly successful example in this direction is the description of invariant subspaces of \(m{SL}_3\)-representations using certain bipartite planar graphs embedded in the disk called "\(m{SL}_3\)-webs." In the late nineties, Kuperberg introduced webs in order to describe the invariant subspaces of \(m{SL}_3\)-representations and provided a particularly nice family of bases for invariant subspaces using "non-elliptic" \(m{SL}_3\)-webs. These web bases satisfy the additional property of being invariant under rotation of the disk. Despite these rotation-invariant \(m{SL}_3\)-web bases being well-known for nearly 30 years, however, it has until recently been an open problem to provide rotation-invariant web bases for \(m{SL}_4\)-invariants, and this problem is still open for \(m{SL}_r\) with \(r\geq5\). The problem of finding rotation-invariant \(m{SL}_4\)-web bases was solved by Gaetz, Pechenik, Pfannerer, Striker, and Swanson in 2023, building on the work of Patrias in 2017, who described a bijection between non-elliptic \(m{SL}_3\)-webs and combinatorial objects called "generalized oscillating tableaux." Under her bijection, rotation of webs corresponds rather miraculously to the well-studied operation of promotion on tableaux. In this inaugural Graduate Collaboration Seminar, we will present our understanding of this current area of active research in algebraic combinatorics as well as the connections between the underlying combinatorics of webs and tableaux. We intend to focus mainly on the case of \(m{SL}_3\)-webs, but time permitting we may take a visit to the newer \(m{SL}_4\) story.

The study of integer solutions to polynomial equations in two or more unknowns is a topic that goes back to ancient times. With Diophantus' book 'Arithmetica' (c. 270 A.D.) inspiring the likes of Fermat, these so-called Diophantine equations paved the way to modern day number theory. We will see how the integer solutions to these equations can sometimes be determined by factoring part of the equation in a way that reveals a hidden structure.  Note: Free refreshments. The talk starts at 5:40.

This exhibition brings together the work of fourteen contemporary artists who have engaged with one of the largest tidal estuaries on the Atlantic coast of the United States through their work. The Sound, which stretches from the East River in New York, to the Rhode Island border, covers 1,300 square miles, and is the home to 1,200 species of invertebrates, 120 species of fish, and dozens of migratory birds. Its watershed covers 16,820 square miles and is home to over nine million people. The rich maritime history of the Sound began with Native peoples before European colonization, and continues to the present day, particularly with commercial shell fishing and recreational boating. As much of the art in the exhibition will attest, Long Island Sound is a microcosm of many of the issues that are currently affecting the Earth's environment, including species extinction, plastic pollution, and global warming. The artists included in the exhibition were chosen for their varied approaches to the estuary, revealing the complex and often surprising ways artists have considered the Sound, its history, and its environs. This exhibition, curated by artist, independent curator and writer Richard Klein, was organized following his 2024 residency at Peck's Ledge Lighthouse, sponsored by The Norwalk Art Space. Peck's Ledge Light, built in 1906, is in the Sound, one mile off Norwalk's Calf Pasture Beach.

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.

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!
