URI Department of Art and Art History presentsREVELATIONS! Education: Behind The Curtain – In Words and Images Exhibition September 15- December 11Join us for a reception and art conversations on September 17 4:30-7 in Lippitt Hall 401What 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 CenterOpen To Monday – Friday 7:30-4:30, closed weekends and holidaysFor information: (401)286-4620/ spennell@uri.eduVisit URInvolved for complete event details.

This workshop is crafted to introduce participants to the powerful world of data science using R. The workshop covers essential data science concepts and techniques, emphasizing hands-on experience with popular R libraries. Participants will gain practical insights into data manipulation, exploratory data analysis, and data visualization, allowing them to extract meaningful insights from datasets.

Abstract:The Rust programming language was created when Graydon Hoare was frustrated with the elevator in his apartment building being out of order due to a Windows blue screen of death. In the decade since its 1.0 release, Rust has been the "most loved" programming language on StackOverflow for a number of years, and has gained a reputation for high performance (comparable to C), high productivity (comparable to Go) and correctness (comparable to Haskell). I have been using Rust in my research group (Algorithms for Big Data) for the past 5 years, and also have been teaching my undergraduate machine organization course in Rust (previously it was in C) for about as long.In this interactive workshop, we will start with a brief introduction to Rust (just the basics) and then look at how to easily parallelize a computation across multiple cores using the excellent Rayon library. We will wrap up with multi-node distributed computation via an OpenMPI-compatible library. I'll make all code we write available on my website.Bio:Prof. Daniels is an associate professor of computer science, with the majority of his research focused on algorithms for "big data" -- essentially, sublinear-time algorithms for problems such as search or sequence alignment, trying to leverage the manifold structure of high-dimensional data. He did a postdoc in mathematics at MIT with Bonnie Berger and a Ph.D in computer science at Tufts University with Lenore Cowen, focused on problems in computational biology ranging from protein structure prediction to biological sequence analysis. More recently, he has also been interested in applying "manifold mapping" ideas to problems in astronomy, cybersecurity, and machine learning.It will be available by zoom here (note free registration): https://uri-edu.zoom.us/meeting/register/MkwG6eIZRn6eO4tplmr4Pw#/registration (though we will have an in-person option as well)Background resources, for those who want to get a leg up, are primarily here: https://www.rust-lang.org/learn (there are three different resources there, which will appeal to different learning styles).The Rayon parallelization library is documented here: https://docs.rs/rayon/latest/rayon/The mpi library is documented here: https://docs.rs/mpi/latest/mpi/

Am I Ready to Apply?An Interactive Readiness Self-Assessment for Future Applicants to Medical, Dental, or PA ProgramsThinking about applying to health professional school this cycle? Not sure if you're truly ready or just hoping you are?This 90-minute, hands-on workshop is designed to help you evaluate where you stand in your preparation for programs like MD, DO, PA, and dental school. Through guided self-assessments, reflection activities, and peer discussion, you'll take a realistic look at your academics, clinical experiences, competencies, and more, all in a supportive, low-pressure environment.In this session, you’ll:Map out your experiences (clinical, service, research, leadership, etc.)Evaluate how your preparation aligns with key competencies admissions committees look forCheck your academic readiness, including GPA and prerequisite progressReflect on your overall application strength and whether it’s time to apply or time to planWhether you're feeling confident or still unsure, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of your readiness, specific next steps to take, and tools to help you move forward with purpose.This workshop is ideal for students planning to apply to medical, dental, or PA programs in the upcoming cycle or those who want to better understand what “ready to apply” really means.We strongly suggest attending this workshop prior to attending a PATH Orientation for the upcoming cycle.
