The Student Organization Committee (SOC) is excited to invite you to our upcoming "Standing Together in Success" lecture & seminar, an interactive event designed to help both new and existing student organizations navigate leadership transitions, facilitate recruitment strategies, and learn about available campus resources as we navigate the semester.This is open to active club Presidents and Vice Presidents, we encourage you to represent your club professionally and take advantage of this fruitful opportunity. You’ll gain valuable insights into starting and growing a successful club, effective recruitment techniques, E-Board transitions, and so on. We will have a lecture portion followed by an interactive seminar for students to ask and answer questions.Visit URInvolved for complete event details.

The voice students of Atla DeChamplain will grab their microphones and sing some jazz for your listening pleasure. Also featured will be In The Pocket, a jazz choir direted by Professor DeChamplain, with David Gilliland and Andrew Wilcox, collaborative pianists.

Title: The varied future of upper Arctic Ocean properties as sea ice declinesSpeaker: Dr. Hannah Zanowski, Assistant Professor at University of Wisconsin-MadisonAbstract: The Arctic Ocean is one of the fastest warming regions of the global ocean. Climate models consistently project this warming to continue under climate change unless stringent mitigation strategies are put into place. However, as a new, potentially ice-free Arctic continues to emerge, what is less clear is how changes in natural variations in the climate system, known as internal variability, will impact future trends and predictability of upper ocean properties in this region. Here we use the Community Earth System Model version 2 Large Ensemble (CESM2-LE) to analyze internal variability in Arctic Ocean sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity (SSS), and mixed layer depth (MLD) from 1850-2100. We find that annual and seasonal mean internal variability (demonstrated via the ensemble spread) in Arctic Ocean SSTs increases dramatically after ~2040 as sea ice cover declines, likely due to a combination of increased wind stress on the ocean surface and increased turbulent heat fluxes via a reduction in the damping effect of sea ice. A similar increase in SSS internal variability is not found, while MLD internal variability tends to decrease as the mixed layer shoals, particularly in winter and spring, due to increasing freshwater input into the Arctic Ocean.

What are the uses and limitations of generative AI to help draft teaching and research statements or other job search materials? Join this session for a basic introduction to the promise and perils of GenAI in developing materials for a job search, while collectively considering ethical and practical implications.  This session is suitable for participants with minimal experience using generative AI but will be most useful if you know how to access either Microsoft CoPilot through your UConn Microsoft 365 login, or ChatGPT (both the free “mini” and paid versions will be demonstrated). Presenters: Tina Huey, Associate Director of Faculty Development, UConn's Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) | Kay Gruder, Associate Director, Graduate Student and Postdoc Career Programs and Services, UConn's Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills. This is a joint URI-UConn program.
