First-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required, in-person, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!!
First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:

“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”

You only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training.

“I see that there is more than one session, does it matter which one I sign up for?”

It generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops.

“Is this workshop required?”

This workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.

“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.”

Our team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment, communication, and boundary setting. However, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”

Our workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles, including time for self-reflection, small group sharing, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive.

“Can I request accommodations?”

We considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions.

“I missed my workshop, what should I do ?”

Our team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule.

“I have had gender-based violence training before, can I get this requirement waived?”

As this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student.

“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student, do I still have to attend?"

Yes, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

“I still have questions! Who should I contact?"

Please contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

The University of Michigan Department of Biostatistics is pleased to host Tianxi Cai, PhD (Harvard University), recipient of the 2025 Jeremy Taylor Outstanding Research Mentor Award, for a featured academic seminar on Thursday, January 22 at 3:30 p.m.
Dr. Cai is an internationally recognized leader in statistical learning, risk prediction, and the integration of electronic health records with genomic and clinical data. Her lecture will draw on her pioneering work in translational data science and precision medicine, reflecting both her methodological impact and her deep commitment to mentoring the next generation of statistical scientists.
A reception will follow the seminar. The reception is open only to those who attend the lecture.

Toward Durable AI in Healthcare: Generalizable Learning from Imperfect EHR Data
Electronic Health Record (EHR) data offers a promising foundation for real-world evidence, yet its utility is often severely limited by the reality of fragmented, imperfect data and significant heterogeneity across health systems. These inherent data flaws create major bottlenecks in generating evidence efficiently, often resulting in fragile models that are highly susceptible to data shift and rapid aging. Consequently, the challenge lies not just in accessing data, but in efficiently transforming these messy, disparate sources into reliable, enduring AI solutions.
This presentation outlines a comprehensive strategy to overcome these limitations and derive robust clinical insights from imperfect data. We will discuss how representation learning can address data sparsity and fragmentation by extracting stable latent features from incomplete patient histories. To tackle system heterogeneity and ensure model longevity, we introduce robust transfer learning frameworks designed to immunize algorithms against distributional shifts. Furthermore, we demonstrate how leveraging knowledge networks can bridge gaps in fragmented data by grounding models in broader biomedical context. Complementing these structural approaches, we touch upon the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to identify clinical outcomes not directly available in structured fields, solving the problem of unobserved endpoints. By integrating these diverse methodologies, we aim to establish a blueprint for efficiently building AI ecosystems that remain reliable and durable despite the complexities of real-world healthcare data.

This is a blended learning course that requires roughly 4 hours of online work prior to the first day of the course.
