Technically Speaking-Five Minds for the 21st Century Workplace
The 21st Century workplace is a landscape that is increasingly connected, open, rapidly changing, and dynamic. It requires us to adopt new competencies and practices in order to grow and succeed. What are these competencies and how do we cultivate them? Join us for an exploration of this changing landscape and explore learning technologies that help us cultivate the Five Minds for the 21st Century Workplace through lessons from the education frontier. This is event is free and open to the public, but space is limited. Reserve your seat early!

2013 Non-Volatile Memory Technology Symposium
NVMTS 2013 focuses on both emerging and existing non-volatile memory technologies instead of a singular technology, so as to encourage cross-pollution of ideas. The aim of this conference is to gather top researchers in academia and industry as well as stakeholders and technologists to foster a free exchange of knowledge and achievements on a myriad of technologies. We aim to create a conducive environment for discussing various significant aspects of advanced memory technologies.
Registration fee reduced for IEEE members and students.
Dates: Monday, August 12– Wednesday, August 14, 2013
Location: Tate Laboratory of Physics

Imaging in Geospatial Applications
In conjunction with the special year on the Mathematics of Planet Earth, this workshop will address novel mathematics, new sensor technology, and computational imaging techniques that can lead to innovative ways of exploiting geospatial image information. Since crossâdiscipline communication between those who observe Earth and those who strive to model the Earth's processes must be effective and robust, participants will include scientists who are directly involved in the applications as well as mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers who are developing mathematical approaches for representing, processing, and analyzing image data.
The workshop aims to foster communication among these disciplines in order to validate and better understand models of the Earth's complex processes by effectively using geospatial image data.
Dates: Monday, Sept. 23–Thursday, Sept. 26, 2013
Location: Lind Hall, Room 305
