Making Sense of Income Taxes
Curious about how income taxes work—and how to avoid unpleasant surprises at tax time? Join our Financial Education Workshop presented by UM Financial Education. We’ll break down the tax process step by step, from understanding what income taxes are to navigating tax forms and deadlines. Learn how to handle scholarships, fellowships, and other types of taxable income. We’ll also discuss key tips for international students. This session focuses on clear, useful information—not advice—so you can feel confident about the basics and ready to discuss your individual situation with a tax professional.

RSVP by Thursday, February 20!The climate is changing, and it’s becoming increasingly clear that AI will play a key role in how we respond. There is a surge of research focused on leveraging AI to mitigate the negative effects of climate change. To develop truly effective solutions, we must collaborate with AI and domain experts to identify the most pressing challenges we face today and explore how AI can be leveraged to address these issues, while paying attention to its carbon imprint.
Using AI to Develop A Sustainable Future: A Brainstorming Session
Date: Wednesday, March 11
Time: 1:00–5:00 PM
Workshop Leads: Farnaz Jahanbakhsh & Mohammed Ombadi

Our goal is to bring together a group of AI researchers and climate experts to brainstorm, share experiences, and work toward building practical solutions.
Featured Talks:
David Rolnick: How machine learning can be customized for climate challenges like land use, species mapping, and climate data using problem-specific approaches.
Madalina Vlasceanu: Behavioral science insights for promoting climate action through individual beliefs, group advocacy, and systemic interventions.
In this workshop, we'll explore the points of interaction between AI and climate-related challenges and opportunities available, and discuss how existing obstacles in climate solutions can influence new research directions in artificial intelligence. U(M) researchers will briefly present on current topics in AI and in climate science, followed by table discussions with domain experts in both climate-related issues and artificial intelligence. You are encouraged to bring your own topics, problems, and innovations to share with the group.
This working session is designed to create connections and spark new collaborations. The discussion topics raised in this workshop will serve as the basis for a white paper on the intersection of AI and climate science, helping to shape the direction of future research. You were selected for this workshop because of your unique experience in one of these areas.
