Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little meets with freshman students of Oswald and Self Halls during FYE's Hawkweek, to kickoff the Common Book initiative. Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was selected for the 2015-16 school year.
KU Common Book is a campus-wide initiative to engage first-year students. A key component of Bold Aspirations, the KU strategic plan, is investing in first-year intellectual experiences. As part of this emphasis, KU Common Book will generate opportunities for shared intellectual experiences that invite analysis, foster critical thinking, and reflect the type of reasoned discourse expected at a university.
First-year students receive the common book at Orientation and are encouraged to read and discuss the book at activities and programs throughout the year. The Common Book was selected by a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students from nominations generated by the KU campus. Although the program focuses on freshmen and transfer students, the steering committee invites participation from all students, as well as faculty and staff who wish to include the book in their classes and programs.
Olivia is holding a paper pyramid that has facts about pyramids on each side. She's wearing paper jewelry she colored (she loves coloring).
Olivia and Sophia learned about Egypt through a unit study I designed after reading one of the Magic Treehouse books that was set in Egypt. We all really enjoyed learning about Egypt through hands-on projects, reading, and taking field trips to the Science Museum and Minneapolis Institute of Art to see mummies and Egyptian artifacts.
Jackson Brown and Victoria Arciniega, both senior undergraduates in naval architecture and marine engineering, set up the ladder to enter the Wind Wave Tank at the Aaron Friedman Marine Hydrodynamics Laboratory on the Main Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Thursday, February 2, 2023.
The students are working on research titled “Design and Evaluation of Naval Vessels for Arctic Operations” and is for the Naval Engineering Education Consortium under Associate Professor Kevin Maki. Professor Maki is the director of the MHL.
The research involves using 7,200 wiffle balls to simulate sea ice conditions.

The demolding process took hours keeping students at the Wilson until after 10 p.m. The Winter term is always one of the busiest times of year at the Wilson Center as student teams move from theoretical design into production in preparation for competition season.

Hey, MTV. Welcome to our Music Video Production class.
In the FMS 480 course, students view and discuss many different types of music videos, and learn how to classify and critique music videos in a professional manner.
Students get hands-on experience in order to create or assist in the production of professional-quality music videos.

As part of the Easter-theme Home Ec class, each of the girls received a bunny tangram. There were different patterns and colors for them to choose from.
Heather Hare, left to right, George Zhou, both undergraduates in materials science and engineering, prepare to pour the metal into a mold under the direction of professor Tim Chambers in the MSE Advanced Lab in the Herbert H. Dow Engineering Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2023. The floor of the lab where the pour will happen has a layer of sand on it to protect it in case of spills.
The Advanced Lab is home to MSE 360, a course about structural materials used for building everything from vehicles to buildings and beyond. In the first half of the course, students learn standard alloys before moving into design. MSE 360 is an opportunity to gain experience in both theory and application.

hundreds of students from Grades 4 to 12 participated in our annual VSB Science Celebration— for elementary students— and the District Science Fair —for secondary students.
Thank you to all the teachers and staff who work tirelessly to organize these events. And to our community partners at Langara College and Science World.
This illustrates how big one is compared to Egyptian pyramids.
If the pyramid is reduced to the model size shown, a grain of salt represents how big a person is compared to it.

Each year Justin Borsato’s Grade 6 and 7 students at Britannia Elementary design, build, and race a mousetrap or balloon-powered car as a way to learn about physics and math concepts.
This project also partners with the UBC Engineering Department, and UBC students volunteer their time over their reading break to mentor Britannia students on basic engineering and physics principles.
Each team had also worked together to brand their carts and create a presentation showcasing their cart’s unique features. Not lacking in creativity, cart names included: Star Cars, Super Mobile and The Flash, The Ugly Duckling and Sabre Toothed Llama.

A lovely Japanese themed evening event took place on Mon. July 18, 5 - 7 pm where Kelly Storm, Olds College, School of Environment, took us on a tour of ancient Japanese Gardens by looking through her camera lens on her trip of a lifetime in the summer 2009. The event included a sushi dinner complete with a sushi rolling and assembly demonstration and Ikebana Floral design presentation. A Silent Auction of donated plant and floral designs raised over $200 for the Canadian Red Cross - Japan Tsunami relief!

In class, we began by reviewing posters from historical and contemporary social justice movements. We talked about how ideas are represented through text and image, in addition to discussing specific design choices. A video interview with printmaker and social justice artist Favianna Rodriguez provided additional context for thinking about our own projects.

The Paul R. Tregurtha was in Duluth loading coal for the day. It arrived in the morning and departed about 7:15 p.m.
It was VERY cold with rather large waves. As the boat passed by, some of the spray from the waves was higher than the concrete ledge in this picture.
Sophia is 7 1/1 years old and is being homeschooled at the 2nd grade level. She will be taking this picture as well as other ones that she took during her first week of homeschooling (in Duluth and the surrounding area) and putting them in a book so she can remember what she saw and learned.
