Fifty-five years ago, during the Apollo 8 Mission, astronaut William Anders took the first color photo of the Earth. For the first time, the general public was able to see the world in its entirety, a tiny blue marble enveloped in the vast, inky blackness of Space. The Earth could no longer be thought of as an endless, invincible resource. More than ever, people understood the planet’s vulnerability and importance. Suddenly, environmentalism took off: the EPA was formed, Earth Day was declared a holiday, protections for endangered species were put in place, and standards for clean air and water were established. Unfortunately, in the years since, passion and public encouragement for sustainable practices has steadily declined. The earth’s deterioration became normalized, politicized, thought of as insurmountable, or ‘Not my problem’. Let’s bring back a culture that cares about the environment! This Summit topic aims to educate on the importance of thinking sustainability, and focuses on what YOU can do about it. Guest Speakers, free sushi, and an interactive workshop, all with eco-flair. Please RSVP if you plan to attend! Agenda 1:00pm-1:15pm - Welcoming from President Parlange 1:15pm-1:30pm - URI Sustainability Clubs' Presentation 1:30pm-2:00pm - Dave McLaughlin - RIDEM - The State of Rhode Island's sustainability missions 2:00pm-2:30pm - Dr. Norbert Mundorf - URI Communications Professor - Envisioning and Communicating a Culture of Sustainability 2:30pm-3:00pm - Mallory Flowers URI Management Professor - Corporate Sustainability and Policy 3:15pm-4:00pm - Snack Break (Sushi!) 4:00pm-5:00pm - Interactive Workshop - How to voice your opinion on local sustainability bills!

Hailed as the perfect musical comedy, this award-winning classic gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of Broadway. "Count me squarely in the Guys and Dolls camp. If there's a flaw to be found in the 1950 'music fable of Broadway,' based on characters created by journalist/short story writer Damon Runyon, it's not in the Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows' drum-tight book. And it's certainly not in Frank Loesser's honey of a score." -New York Stage Review View on site | Email this event

Have you been facing the pressure to teach larger and larger classes? While your class size is increasing, are you also struggling to motivate students to attend, turn in assignments, or engage in deep learning? If so, this seminar is for you. We will apply research-based strategies about motivation so that you can balance the pressure of large class size with the desire to motivate students to engage in their own learning.

Join us for a COB Research Seminar featuring guest speaker Dr. Tom Huang (University of Tennessee, Amazon Distinguished Professor of Business Analytics). He will present his research, titled "Is Turing Transformation Happening? A Study with a New Measure of Occupational AI Exposure." All are welcome—light refreshments provided by the COB Dean. Abstract: A central concern regarding artificial intelligence (AI) is its potential to replace jobs and exacerbate economic inequality. However, recent research suggests that AI may improve the workers' job prospects through a Turing Transformation process: AI simplifies work, lowers barriers to job entry, and thus broadens job opportunities for more workers. In this paper, we present a conceptual framework that decomposes the Turing Transformation into AI's work activity and job opportunity effects. We develop a novel occupational AI exposure measure using a sentence transformer model to compare the semantic similarity between the occupation descriptions and AI patents. We find that, on average, occupations with higher AI exposure experience a decrease in the importance of a wide range of work activities, coupled with an increase in job opportunities as reflected by job posting data. This provides the first empirical evidence for the existence of the Turing Transformation process. In addition, we observe important heterogeneity in AI's work activity and job opportunity effects across occupations with different skill requirements. These findings contribute to the literature by offering a comprehensive view of the "where,'' "what,'' and "how'' of AI's impact on work. View on site | Email this event
