De-Stress Before the Tests!

A Pre-Nursing and Nursing collaboration, in partnership with SNA and Memorial Health.

Final tests can be a stressful time for all students, so it is important to take some time to relax and de-stress during these final weeks of the Spring 2023 semester. Come down to the SAB Building on Thursday, April 27th, from 10:00 A.M. - 1:00 P.M. to partake in a variety of activities to de-stress, relax, and have fun!

The Agenda for this event includes:

Finals Fun With The Hub

Finals can be a stressful time, but The Learning Hub is here to help students handle that stress! Students are welcome to study with Learning Hub staff; writing, math, exercise science, accounting, and general academic skills tutors are all available for finals cramming!

Students can also make and decorate flower pots and fly kites (as long as the weather permits) for fun during finals week.

This event will occur on Tuesday, April 18th on the Quad from 1:00 - 4:00 P.M.

Faculty Scholarship Series:

Sabbatical Presentation - Metaphysical agency in conceptual engineering 

Conceptual engineers take seriously the claim that concepts like family, disability, race, and gender literally shape reality. But what is it that these engineers actually do when they go about engineering concepts? Hint: they don’t need a literal toolbox to do it. I want to suggest that they engage in a distinctive kind of agency.

Join us on Zoom on Monday, February 20, 6pm for the next installment of the Perfect Pitch: Performance Psychology Panel Series: "Practice Makes Imperfect". What does practicing mean to you? What does it mean to be one's own teacher? What are the practice routines of famous musicians? How should athletes prepare their bodies for the workloads and stressors of practice?

Panelists:

Ryan Johnson, UIS Director of Sports Performance

Katelyn Hummel, UIS exercise science, psychology, and music student

Delinda Chapman, Visual Artist

Ethical Artificial Intelligence: An Industry Perspective | Doug Hamilton | Wednesday, April 12, 6:00 P.M. | Student Union Ballroom

Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents an enormous opportunity to advance human well-being.  It also, however, represents a sea-change in how decisions are made, who is making those decisions, and who is liable for outcomes.  Today this very topic is being tackled by an odd admixture of ethicists, attorneys, statisticians, computer scientists, and regulators.
