Computer Coding Workshop Opportunity ATTN AMB students!

Do you want to make yourself more marketable in your job search?  Do you ever find yourself thinking, “It would be great to have even just heard about the basics of coding.”? If so, consider joining Cynthia Wagner, PhD every Monday, for the somewhat informal workshops being held on Webex from 1:00pm to 1:50pm to learn the basics of Python and R.  Python is a general-purpose computer language that is useful for data analysis and data visualization. R is useful for statistical analysis as well as graphical displays of data. Both are used by biologists.

 

This is a new initiative for the AMB students, it is NOT a class. Let’s call it a weekly workshop that is open to other people in the department. No previous programming experience is needed.

 

Sean Brown, a grad student in Dr. Stephen Freeland’s lab will be the person doing the presentations and will also be available via email for homework help (this is his TA assignment). The current plan is to have a “mini-lecture” every Monday, beginning Sept 26th and a mini-homework assignment due every Friday (these are required for AMB students, but optional for everyone else).

Transitioning into college is not always easy… especially if you are the first in your family to attend, if you are a part of a marginalized community, or if you regularly find yourself with more questions than answers. Don’t worry; we are here to help!

Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) has partnered with the Academic Success Center to bring you three sessions that focus on helping you develop the skills and tools you need to experience first-year success! Sessions will occur from 6:00-7:30 p.m in the Mosaic Center (232B Commons Building). Not only will we explore academic success skills and principles, but we will also explore tools for navigating issues of discrimination, bias, and microaggressions within academic spaces and focus on the many ways our identities are assets within the college environment.

9/28: Exploring Success Skills and Tools for First Year & Transitioning Students - This session will explore university resources and key skills for first-year transition success and connect you with upper-class students who share their stories and recommendations for first-year success.

10/5: Knowing What to Expect and How to Navigate Identity-Based Challenges - This session will explore issues of bias, discrimination, and microaggressions and how they show up in university spaces. Students will leave with tools and skills to help them navigate identity-based challenges during the academic transition.

10/12: Bringing YOU into the Classroom - Have you heard of Cultural Wealth? Do you know that your identities are assets in university spaces? This session will explore how you bring Cultural Wealth into the classroom and introduce you to returning students who have learned how to advocate for themselves and be authentic in classroom spaces despite sometimes being the only one who shares their identity.

As statewide primaries continue through the summer, many Americans are beginning to think about which candidates they will support in the 2022 general election.

This decision-making process is fraught with difficulties, especially for inexperienced voters.

Voters must navigate angry, emotion-laden conversations about politics when trying to sort out whom to vote for. Americans are more likely than ever to view politics in moral terms, meaning their political conversations sometimes feel like epic battles between good and evil.

But political conversations are also shaped by, obviously, what Americans know - and, less obviously, what they think they know - about politics.
