SUMMARY:Respond\, Don't React: Recognizing and Managing Emotional Triggers
DESCRIPTION:In a world of nonstop change and pressure\, even the most experienced professionals get triggered in ways that throw us off course—hurting performance and straining relationships. In this presentation by the Silicon Valley chapter of the NHRA\, we’ll explore what’s really happening when emotions take over\, why it matters\, and what we can do about it. Through real stories\, group discussion\, and practical tools\, you’ll learn how to spot your own triggers\, make space to respond instead of react\, and better support others in the process. These tools aren’t just for managing stress—they help build trust\, empathy\, and stronger teams. You’ll walk away with simple strategies you can use right away for tough conversations\, conflict\, or just when everything feels like a little too much – both personally and professionally. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n• Spot the signs—learn to recognize how your body and brain react when you’re emotionally triggered. \n• Get curious about cognitive blind spots—where might triggers be getting in the way of how we show up and lead? \n• Build our ability to pause\, regroup\, and respond instead of react. \n• Walk away with simple tools to better support yourself and create more space and trust for others\, too. \nAGENDA \n5:30 PM IN-PERSON NETWORKING (dinner included) \n6:00 PM VIRTUAL SESSION BEGINS \n6:05 PM LEGAL UPDATES \n6:15 PM PROGRAM \n7:15 PM Q&A \nABOUT THE SPEAKER: Jeff Jacobs\nJeff is a recognized leadership development and organizational effectiveness executive who has facilitated and consulted on 500+ engagements over the past 10 years as an employee of top-tier companies like Adobe and Intuit. His diverse experience expands beyond the corporate world to chairing three non-profit boards\, serving as an Assistant Lecturer at Haas School of Business at U.C.

SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary. Supplies and snacks provided. \n\nSep 26 Snail Mail/Postcards\nOct 3 Souvenir Keychains\nOct 10 Stamp Magnets\nOct 17 Cyanotype Totebags/Pouches/Pencil cases\nOct 24 Candy Around The World Linocuts\nOct 31 Abstract Felt Collages\nNov 7 Phone Photos/Buttons\nNov 14 Travel Related Patches With Upcycled Materials\nNov 21 Thanksgiving Break! No Art Friday\nNov 28 Unexpected Landscape Surrealist Collage\n\nPlease note that the date and the project is subject to change.

SUMMARY:October Slugs & Steins with Professor Kimberly Lau
DESCRIPTION:Race and the European Fairy Tale: The Making of a White Genre \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Kimberly Lau offers intertwined readings of several cognate fairy tales that revolve around true and false brides\, beginning with Black slaves and white fairies in 17th-century Naples and tracing their evolution into (implicitly raced but unmarked) kind and unkind girls in 19th-century Germany. Through her readings\, Lau illustrates some of the ways that culturally specific\, historical ideas about race\, racial thinking\, and racism have contributed to the development of the European fairy tale as a genre as well as to the creation of the fairy tale’s enduringly white world.

DESCRIPTION:Learn about the importance of preserving and documenting the history and culture of our community through archiving. \nWe will discuss how the rise of interest in Community Archives has transformed the way collective memories are curated\, capturing forgotten and suppressed voices\, reshaping our understanding of what archives are and how they function\, and challenging long-held assumptions about the role of professionals in mediating and sharing history. \nThe presenter\, Rebecca Hernandez\, is currently the inaugural Community Archivist at the UC Santa Cruz University Library\, where she collaborates with community members to preserve the rich history and cultural heritage of Santa Cruz County. Her academic background includes a PhD in American Studies\, MA in American Indian Studies\, and an MFA in Design. \nThis is a hybrid event\, with some space available in Humanities 2-259\, and a virtual option available. Please RSVP here to be added to the Google Calendar event.

SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary.

SUMMARY:Road Trip! Light in the American West\, from Baja to the Yukon
DESCRIPTION:The photographs in this exhibition\, made between 2004 and 2025\, span across the American West from the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico to The Yukon territory in Canada. Paul Schoellhamer’s (Cowell ‘69) color photographs invite us to travel with him and reflect on our relationship to land\, the light that shapes it\, and the freedom – contested but essential – to move across it. \nThe exhibition draws on voices across time and perspective that frame the American landscape as more than a stage for beauty and awe. For Chief Satanta of the Kiowa Nation\, to roam the land freely was life itself. For N. Scott Momaday\, land must be “believed to be seen.” For Eliot Porter\, light and reflection imparted magic to Glen Canyon’s waters. For Wallace Stegner\, saving natural places meant saving fragments of our collective sanity. For Brook M. Thompson\, the Klamath River is recognized with personhood. Alongside these perspectives\, Paul’s images press us to see public land not as scenery to extract or aestheticize\, but as sustenance and history. Land is alive and contested. To see closely is not to linger on a romanticized vision of the American landscape\, but to reckon with responsibility: how we safeguard access\, how we imagine “wildness\,” and how we hold space for futures beyond our own. For Paul\, this exhibition is a call for students to encounter land and light firsthand and let those encounters be their teachers. \nOpening Reception\nOctober 4\, 2025\n1-4pm \n—– \nJoin us every Friday for Art Fridays.\nNo experience necessary.

SUMMARY:Weatherwax\, K. (CM) - LoFi to X and Y: Background Media Use as Colloquial Assistive Technology for Neurodivergent People
DESCRIPTION:Research in media psychology has often framed background media as a distraction that undermines performance. Such perspectives rely on narrow\, output-oriented definitions of success and overlook the emotional\, mental\, social\, and environmental needs that shape how people actually work. They also fail to account for neurodivergent experiences\, ignoring the diverse ways people engage with media in daily life.\n   \nThis dissertation uses a critical disability and neurodiversity lens to examine background media\, with a focus on LoFi as a commonly used exemplar\, as a form of colloquial assistive technology. Drawing on interviews and large-scale online discourse\, I show how LoFi is not primarily used to increase productivity\, but to manage affect\, sustain attention\, and reduce cognitive or sensory overload. Users describe it as a supportive presence—helping them transition into work\, recover from fatigue\, and feel accompanied in otherwise isolating contexts.\n   \nThese findings challenge dominant narratives about distraction and media use. Rather than being passively consumed\, background media is deliberately shaped and adopted as a source of support. This work rethinks what counts as assistive technology\, foregrounds the self-directed practices of neurodivergent people\, and offers design directions for systems that legitimize and extend such strategies. \n  \nEvent Host: Kevin Weatherwax\, Ph.D Candidate\, Computational Media  \nAdvisor: Kate Ringland
