- Sep 19, 2025: REVELATIONS! Education: Behind the Curtain – In Words and Images (ART EXHIBIT) at Lippitt HallURI Department of Art and Art History presents REVELATIONS! Education: Behind The Curtain – In Words and Images Exhibition September 15- December 11 Join us for a reception and art conversations on September 17 4:30-7 in Lippitt Hall 401 What is it like being in the classroom? What challenges do educator’s face? What restrictions are there preventing education from occurring? Are the requirements, expectations and limitations changing the way Educators function? What are the successes - giving students the opportunity to find their expressive voice? This exhibit will include the artwork and voices of a group of area educators from public, private and independent educational settings on all levels. The artist/educators will share their creative voices in various forms of expression as they also reflect on the challenges and celebrations they experience in and out of the classroom. Among the more than twenty artists are: Mary Jane Andreozzi, Deanna Camputaro, Ruth Clegg, Raff Diaz, Raphael Diaz, Tamara Diaz, Melanie Ducharme, Adam Ferbert, Susan Garland, Melissa Guillet, Catherine Davis-Hayes, Chris Kelley, Susan Kolenda, Jason Robert LaClair, Don Mays, Kerry Murphy, Sam Peck, Lisa Marie Ricci-Russo, Monique Rolle-Johnson, Jade Sisti, Janice Lee Strain, John Tedeschi, Katie Walck. On exhibit in URI Lippitt Hall (3rd & 4th floor), Green Hall and The Higgins Welcome Center Open To Monday – Friday 7:30-4:30, closed weekends and holidays For information: (401)286-4620/ spennell@uri.edu Visit URInvolved for complete event details.

- Sep 19, 2025: College of Pharmacy In Person Information Session (PharmD and BPS) at Pharmacy- Paramaz Avedisian ’54 HallJoin us for an engaging in-person information session that will showcase the URI Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) and Bachelor of Science (BPS/Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Science) programs, along with a student-led tour of Avedisian Hall. The session will kick off at the Robert J. Higgins Welcome Center, where a knowledgeable representative from the College of Pharmacy will welcome you and lead you across campus to the main event in Avedisian Hall. Additionally, you have the opportunity to enhance your visit by registering for an optional campus session and tour that is separate from the pharmacy event. Please choose a time that is before the College of Pharmacy session for planning purposes. The group will depart the welcome center promptly at 1:30 pm to walk to Avedisian Hall.

- Sep 19, 2025: Beyond Worst-Case Online Classification at Tyler HallOmar Montasser, Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at Yale revisits online binary classification by shifting the focus from competing with the best-in-class binary loss to competing against relaxed benchmarks that capture smoothed notions of optimality. Instead of measuring regret relative to the exact minimal binary error — a standard approach that leads to worst-case bounds tied to the Littlestone dimension — this work considers comparing with predictors that are robust to small input perturbations, perform well under Gaussian smoothing, or maintain a prescribed output margin. The algorithms achieve regret guarantees that depend only on the VC dimension and the complexity of the instance space (e.g., metric entropy), and notably, they incur only an O(log(1/γ)) dependence on the generalized margin γ. This stands in contrast to most existing regret bounds, which typically exhibit a polynomial dependence on 1/γ. We complement this with matching lower bounds. This work is based on joint work with Abhishek Shetty and Nikita Zhivotovskiy. Montasser's research broadly explores theory and foundations of machine learning. Prior to joining Yale, Montasser was a FODSI-Simons postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley. He earned his Ph.D. from the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago in 2023. View on site | Email this event
