Events

How should universities respond to controversial or challenging speech while addressing student concerns about safety and belonging? What role can students play in creating a campus culture where people can speak, listen, disagree, change their minds, and defend their convictions? Join the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) and partnering U-M units for a student-focused conversation examining key questions at the heart of campus speech debates. Dinner will be provided for attendees.

Museums are the classrooms of our country. They play a crucial role in helping us understand the nation’s complex past. Join us for a dynamic conversation with Lonnie G. Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and Lynette Clemetson, Director of Wallace House Center for Journalists, as they reflect on the significance of the 250th anniversary of the United States. At a moment in which discussions about our shared past and collective future feel especially urgent, this event offers an opportunity to learn from a leader who has devoted his career to informing and inspiring Americans to strive for the public good. Q & A will follow and copies of Secretary Bunch's book A Fool's Errand: Creating the National Museum of African American History and Culture in the Age of Bush, Obama, and Trump will be available for purchase.

LCE is proud to co-sponsor this Rackham symposium celebrating 150 years of doctoral research and exploring how interdisciplinary scholarship and expanded access can shape the next 150 years of discovery and impact.

Have you had to turn down an invite to go out with friends because you can’t afford it? What about telling your family you actually can’t send money home? Or explain to your friends in the lab that you don’t want to spend money on a pizza dinner? It can feel awkward and uncomfortable to say “no,” but it’s an important part of using your money in a way that works for you. Financial boundaries are guidelines you put in place to help you say “no” with confidence and “yes” with enthusiasm. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn the importance of boundaries, how to create and honor financial ones and toss the ones that don’t match your unique circumstances.
