7:00 PM - 9:00 PM	Sustainability Movie Series Part 2: Dear White People Location: > See description for location Contact: Campus Sustainability and Residential Initiatives Description: Please Join the Green Navigators and the Campus Sustainability & Residential Initiatives Office for the showing of Dear White People, the second movie in our Sustainability Series at the Claire T. Carney Library, Room 205. Dear White People is a hilarious and thought provoking satire about race relations. It tells the story of an eclectic group of black students trying to navigate a predominantly white Ivy League school. Dealing with the college's traditions and cliques is hard enough but after a consequence of events including a controversial student election, an out-of-control party, and the arrival of a reality TV producer, once-quiet Winchester University becomes a hotbed of conflict. After the movie please join us for a compelling group discussion!

The opening reception will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 4 to 6 pm, with the Artist Talk, presented by students of both Design and Art History at 5 pm. This exhibition features recent work from students in Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography, along with a slide show of these same young artists engaged in activities and processes relative to their CVPA experience. The Department of Visual Design is a cluster of professionally-oriented options: Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography. Visual design is an art form, a craft, and a means of information dissemination for education, business, commerce, editorial and entertainment industries. Students earning their BFA in one of these four areas explore visual communication in the widest sense, employing both traditional (analog) and contemporary electronic and computer technologies. The examples in this exhibition demonstrate that our broadly educated student visual artists/designers are both literate and articulate and capable of participating on many levels of a wide variety of projects. Bringing together both print and digital media, this exhibition provides insight into how Junior students use visual design as a method of communication.

The deformation or oscillation of the structure changes the fluid forces, which in turn result in a different structural response. This constitutes a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problem. In a floating wind turbine, many examples of FSI are observed. Large wind turbine blades, which are ideal for offshore wind turbines, are susceptible to various flow- induced dynamical instabilities. A spar-type floating turbine can undergo vortex-induced vibration (VIV). In this talk I will show some recent results on flow-induced instabilities of wind turbine blades, and I will discuss VIV of a spar buoy, modeled after one of the existing large- scale floating wind turbines. I will discuss how some fundamental studies on FSI problems are critical in understanding the observed phenomena in floating wind turbines. BIO: Dr. Yahya Modarres-Sadeghi received the PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from McGill University in 2006. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT for 3 years. He has been an Assistant Professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst since 2009. His research interests include fluid-structure interactions, nonlinear dynamics, offshore wind energy and biomimetics.

« 2/12 - 3/26 »	The Uncommon Object - University Art Gallery, New Bedford Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts , 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA Contact: University Art Gallery Description: For this group exhibition, ten alumni from the renown UMass Dartmouth Ceramics program invited artists who have been influential in a manner contrary to their aesthetic, finding pairings revealing an unusual logic; a connection in uncommon objects. "The Uncommon Object" was conceived by Rebecca Hutchinson and Jim Lawton with the notion that our counterpoint is not only interesting but offers insight into the depth of who we are as artists. The exhibition is part of the programming for the 49th annual National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conference in Providence, RI which has earned a reputation worldwide as a premier event for ceramic art, drawing thousands of participants each year.
