All Sessions

Join the ACUM Wellness Committee to watch and discuss the NACADA Webinar: Deconstructing Burnout in Advising. This will be an in person event hosted in the Honors Lounge - 1330 Mason Hall - on Wednesday, October 21, from 2pm EST - 3:20pm EST.
This session will explore, unpack, and deconstruct burnout through perspectives and experiences of advisors from various geographic and institutional settings. Advising work may be close to our hearts, but there’s a limit to how much space and energy one can give when passion, a student focus, and self-care are inadequate to prevent burnout. Framed by the 12 stages of burnout and the concept of emotional labor, panelists will examine how higher education fosters certain types of burnout that impact advisors and the profession. Participants will be encouraged to consider their spheres of influence as advisors, managers, and colleagues as we seek to interrupt, intervene, and reframe burnout to address its root causes and learn how the profession can support advisors in this era of change.

This event is open to all Barger Leadership Institute members.
Do you have a fall semester birthday, or want to join in to celebrate your BLI friends who do? Come by the BLI and enjoy sweet treats, good company, and birthday fun!
Held on the 8th floor of Weiser Hall, in the BLI's Open Space.

UMSI Academic Success Midterm Wellness Event

This workshop is open to all graduate students seeking guidance around interviewing for positions beyond tenure track roles, which can differ greatly from the academic job search process. It also meets the needs of those applying to internships, including those applying to the Rackham Doctoral Intern Fellowship Program. The workshop will focus on preparing graduate students to navigate the interview process, and to effectively answer questions by strategically articulating strengths and skills. We will also discuss a framework for answering behavioral interview questions. This event is intended to be interactive, therefore a recording will not be available. This workshop is designed for master's students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact rackhamdeworkshops@umich.edu to see if we can accommodate your attendance.

Brought to you by the University Career Center, in partnership with Rackham Graduate School.

Learn more about GCC Denmark: Inequality & Social Change at this info session with Senior Study Abroad Advisor Callie Rouse and Program Instructor Rebecca Christensen!


Program Description: Denmark is consistently ranked among the happiest countries in the world and is known for its universal healthcare system, tuition-free education from kindergarten through graduate school, and open prison system. In this course, we will use a sociological lens to compare and contrast the education, public health, and criminal legal systems in the United States and Denmark. During our three weeks abroad, we will examine the causes and consequences of racism, socioeconomic disparities, and other social inequalities within the Copenhagen community. By immersing yourself in Danish culture, you will learn about the country's unique norms, values, and policies, and how they differ from American ways of living.
Through visits to community organizations, conversations with guest speakers, and cultural excursions, you will gain firsthand insight into Danish society. By engaging in ongoing reflection and active learning, you will develop a greater awareness of your social identities within a global context, deepen your understanding of your own worldview, and consider your role as an agent of social change. Together, we will explore both the possibilities and challenges of applying Danish models of social welfare to create a more just and equitable society in the United States.

Join Professor August Evrard and CGIS Advisor, Joy Richardson, to learn more about the CGIS: Global Course Connections (GCC) in Cape Town, South Africa - Energy Landscape program. This GCC program offers the unique opportunity to pair your on-campus winter studies with an exciting hands-on 3-week global experience taught by August Evrard in the summer.
Across the world, a large-scale energy transition away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources is underway. In South Africa, students will experience this transition up close by examining how social, political, financial, and environmental factors interact to drive hopeful progress (e.g., in solar, wind, grid transmission and carbon credits) within the country's massively coal-driven economy.

You can view the GCC South Africa application here.

The Drama and Performance Interest Group brings together performers from theatre, dance, visual art, and music with scholars from fields as varied as dance studies, ethnomusicology, history, American studies, literary studies, art history, classics, and anthropology. We foster critical inquiry into the historical, social, and political dimensions of global drama and performance. The Drama and Performance Interest group conceives of performance broadly and considers it to be an essential human expression. Last year, we added ‘critical dance studies’ to our definition of performance. There is no theatre graduate program at U-M, nor is there a graduate program in critical dance studies, thus the Interest Group expands beyond current degree programs and departments to create space for cross-departmental, interdisciplinary collaboration for graduate students interested in drama and performance, broadly defined.

They also generate ideas and facilitate new contacts between student org leaders themselves.

Supply chains are the backbone of the global economy. While the fragility, geography, and organization of global production networks are at the forefront of supply chain discourse, the people who make and study consumers’ products are often forgotten. Women especially play a critical role in the production of goods and services and global procurement.

The Women in Supply Chains (WiSC) Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop (RIW) was created to understand these issues and create a space for graduate students interested in the intersection between gender and supply chains. WiSC researches gender disparities in supply chain scholarship and practice to advance awareness and pursue more equitable outcomes. We seek to bring together an interdisciplinary group to collaborate on topics related to our three research pillars: 1) supply chain discourse and governance, 2) supply chain gender inequities, and 3) barriers to equitable supply chain research and practice. Our interdisciplinary approach addresses the intersections of gender, power asymmetries, and economic exploitation in global production networks. Recent industry research shows that progress on gender representation in supply chains has stalled, demonstrating a need for sustained academic engagement.

Research questions we plan to explore include:
To what extent do supply chain theory and discourse rely on or reinforce patriarchal values?What gender-based inequities and power asymmetries exist in global production networks? How can supply chain stakeholders mitigate these inequities?What barriers do gender-marginalized individuals face as supply chain scholars or practitioners? How can we build community for people who work in supply chains?

We plan to hold monthly events (approximately 1 hour) on a consistent day of the week (based on the availability of participants/guest speakers). We also plan to attend and promote events on campus (e.g., speakers, lectures) as they relate to gender and supply chains. Planned events include hands-on activities and treks, including a book club and a manufacturing site tour. Graduate students from all disciplines and gender identities are invited to attend.

This workshop series brings a renewed focus to cultivating inclusive environments across campus. Participants will explore personal and collective experiences, learn best practices and strategies to foster belonging, and strengthen their ability to serve and support a diverse student population. Workshop offerings are open to Student Life staff and campus colleagues; attendance is voluntary. All workshops are free to Student Life Professional Staff Members.


PLEASE NOTE: A fee of $25 or the program’s registration fee (whichever is more) will be charged to the unit shortcode if registrants no show or drop less than 24 hrs prior to the event.
