The Hand in the Design Process
Melissa Conroy is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Human Centered Design who specializes in knitwear design and cross-disciplinary creative collaboration. She will discuss the differences and intersections between the disciplines of art, craft and design with an emphasis on understanding how the disciplines of art and craft can benefit the design process using hands-on processes.

Engineering Hybrid Nanostructures: Novel Aqueous Routes to Integrate Electrochemically Active Metal Clusters into Carbon Nanomaterial or Polymeric Matrices for Functional Energy Storage and Conversion Materials
Electronic conductivity of porous electrodes by Faradaic and non-Faradaic charge transfer processes impacts the energy and power densities and overall performance of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices. Carbon nanomaterials constitute an ideal material composite platform for integration with other solid-state electrode materials in power devices. Self-assembly has been recognized as an effective strategy for the bottom–up synthesis of 3D macrostructures using graphene and carbon nanotube as building blocks. The need for chemical precursor vaporization

The New Urbanism Movement, Past, Present, and Future
The movement known as New Urbanism in the United States seeks to address and promote development that positively affects the health of individuals through the incorporation of safe, easily accessible walking in everyday life. This is in contrast to a typical suburban environment, where most activities are dependent on vehicular transport for everyday activities. The New Urbanism environments also promote social connections to neighbors and visitors with zoning that promotes front doors close to the

Our People, Our Stories Exhibit Opening
Come and celebrate and enjoy an interactive community youth and young adult art exhibit centered on LGBTQ+ chosen family.
Research conducted here at Cornell University and lived experience alike show that affirmation and connection are essential to well-being. Chosen families provide safe spaces to be fully seen and accepted, nurturing resilience, joy and self-worth. They help buffer against discrimination and loneliness, while fostering creativity, community and pride. For many queer and trans people, chosen family

Humanist and Integrated Learning and Being: Reflections on Being an Anthropologist among Engineers
Drawing from research and teaching collaborations with colleagues in engineering, robotics, computer science, materials science, as well as community and industry partners, Caitrin Lynch reflects on how and why to question disciplinary silos, reach across to people from vastly different perspectives inside and outside academia, and authentically foreground questions of the impact of work in engineering and design. Caitrin will bring in examples from her projects in design and disability (such as the Engineering at
