SUMMARY:Where the Lotus Fields Remember Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Art Exhibition curated for the first time by IMFA grad student\, Chanthu Millay. \nRunning from November 4th through November 8th. \nIncludes the works of 6 grad students and 6 faculty members. \nWhere the Lotus Fields Remember exhibition brings together faculty and graduate students whose work explores different interpretations and experiences of violence. \nWith everything happening in the world\, and in our own backyard\, I believe we need spaces where we can talk about our stories\, connect with one another\, and create opportunities for understanding. This exhibition is not about promising healing from experiences of violence\, because healing does not always happen. Instead\, it asks us to investigate how violence manifests in our lives and how we\, as individuals and as a community\, respond to those experiences. \nThe exhibition seeks to bring us together through our common humanity. While our experiences of violence are never equal or interchangeable\, many of us have experienced some form of violence in our lives. That shared reality can become a point of connection rather than division. \nThe white lotus serves as a symbol of resilience and rebirth. Each lotus\, each artwork within the exhibition\, represents an individual struggling to bloom within a field shaped by difficult and sometimes tragic experiences. \nJoin and support your community to… \nExperience art\nMeet new people\nGreat conversations\nMeet the artists\nEnjoy some refreshments\nAnd make connections

SUMMARY:Libra Lecture Series - Prof. Eknath Ghate
DESCRIPTION:Libra Lecture Series\, University of Maine Mathematics\nProf. Eknath Ghate\, Visiting Libra Professor\, University of Maine and TIFR Mumbai India\nLecture 6: Monday\, November 9th at 2pm\, 310 Boardman Hall \nTitle: Proof of the Main Theorem\n\nAbstract: \nIn the first lecture of this series we stated a theorem: for weights 3 ≤ k ≤ p+1\, the mod p reductions of the semi-stable representations V_{k\,L} alternate\, in an explicit pattern\, between certain irreducible and reducible mod p representations. \nOver the course of the series we reduced the proof to understanding certain subquotients of the reduction of a lattice in the associated Banach space B_{k\,L}. This space is the quotient of a space of functions roughly of type  C^{(k−2)/2} by certain sums of polynomial-times-logarithm functions. \nIn this final lecture\, we compute one of these subquotients in detail as a model for the rest. The main theorem then follows by inverting the Iwahori mod p local Langlands correspondence. \n\n\n\n

And now you’ve been tasked with writing a grant and you don’t know where to start. Our online grant writing program can help! \nThis interactive online professional development program will teach you the basics of seeing a grant through a full cycle—from inception to completion. You’ll learn how to get your organization ready to apply for grants\, where to find funders and funding opportunities\, how to write the components of a grant and how to submit a successful application that has all the information funders want to see. \nUsing case studies\, this program will focus on real-world grant applications. Comprehensive checklists and worksheets will guide you through every step of planning\, researching\, applying to and managing a grant—without missing a thing! You’ll also develop language specific to your organization that answers common grant questions. \nThe only thing you won’t learn in this program is how to celebrate securing a grant proposal. We figure you’ve got that one covered. 🙂 \nVisit our website for more information:\nhttps://dll.umaine.edu/grant-writing/
