June 9
10:00–11:30 a.m.
Lawrence Hall 115

Talk title: "Aging in the Coronary Microcirculation: Influence of Sex, Mitochondria, and Cell Therapy Interventions”

Abstract of talk:

In aging post-menopausal women, Coronary Microvascular Disease (CMD) leads to hyperconstricted tone, reduced perfusion and chronic micro-ischemia with angina. This is in line with our previous data that show that aged female rats exhibit dilatory dysfunction similar to males, but show hyperconstriction to agonists in opposition to what was observed in males as they age. We have shown an age-related increase in coronary microvascular ROS alongside increased prooxidant gene and protein expression associated with blunted vasodilation. Adipose Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) is a heterogenous cell population that reduces vascular ROS to improve vasodilation. Oxidative stress with aging may be mediated by mitochondrial dysfunction, including fission/fusion imbalance. This presentation will describe our efforts in reversing age-related coronary microvascular dysfunction in aging females via SVF therapy and our most recent use of a mitochondrial-targeted diet to alter fission/fusion relationship.

Saturday Seminars: Three Great Epics
June 3–24
9:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
Baker Downtown Center

We will consider three works of adventure that become increasingly psychological as we move from ancient Greece to the present time. Homer’s Odyssey (700 B.C.?), George Eliot’s ;Silas Marner (1861) and Virginia Woolf’s The Waves (1931) all present a hero or heroine on a quest. For Odysseus, the goal is home, for Silas Marner, it is at first gold and then the love of a child, and for Bernard, Rhoda and others of Woolf’s twentieth century novel it is immersion in collective community, of being a wave among waves. In this seminar, we will study the epic structure of blocking the protagonist from his or her goal with a follow-up of a final celebration of arriving at the destination. We will also study what we mean by “epic style,” or the grand way the poet or novelist finds in narrating his or her subject. As one great literary critic put it, epic “is nearest of all literary forms to the wish-fulfillment dream.” The seminar will be a balance of lecture and discussion with excerpts presented from DVDs and audio CDs.

Readings to acquire on your own:

Homer’s Odyssey. Richmond Lattimore’s translation recommended. Harper Perennial Modern Classics (2007)

George Eliot’s Silas Marner. Penguin Classics (2007). Editor David Carroll.

Virginia Woolf The Waves. Annotated Edition, Mariner Books (2006). Editor Mark Hussey.

Reading Assignments and Overall Plan

Week 1:  Homer’s Odyssey (700 B.C.?). Books 1-13. General Historical Background. Overview of epic structures. Discussion of Odysseus’s character and the other dramatis personae in the book.

Week 2: Homer’s Odyssey Continued. Books 16, 22-24. Discussion, in particular, of the father-son reunion and the controversial “justice” of the ending.

Week 3: George Eliot’s Silas Marner (1861). The evolution of the novel form in England. George Eliot’s biography. Presentation of the “anonymous hero.” Discussion of the ambiguities surrounding the characters and their quests.

Let’s Talk is a service that provides easy access to free, informal, and confidential one-on-one consultation with a Counseling Services staff member. See our website for six additional Let’s Talk days/times offered throughout the week.

Let’s Talk is especially helpful for students who:

Have a specific concern and would like to consult with someone about it. Would like on-the-spot consultation rather than ongoing counseling. Would like to consult with a CS staff member about what actual therapy looks like. Would like to meet with one of our CS identity-based specialists. Have a concern about a friend or family member and would like some ideas about what to do.

How does Let’s Talk work?

Let’s Talk will be offered via Zoom and/or in satellite locations across campus. As a drop-in service, there is no need to schedule an appointment and no paperwork to be completed. Students are seen individually on a first-come, first-served basis at the times listed below. There may be a wait in the Zoom waiting room if the Let’s Talk staff member is meeting with another student. Please wait and we will be with you as soon as we can. Let’s Talk appointments are brief (usually between 15-30 minutes) and are meant to be used on an as-needed basis.

Building Black Wealth Series: Acquiring and Leveraging Assets
June 17
11:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m.

Presented by the UO Black Alumni Network in partnership with National Association of Real Estate Brokers Oregon Chapter and Umpqua Home Lending

How do wealthy people get their wealth? How do you build your net worth? It's simple—wealth is built by acquiring and leveraging assets. Whether inherited or not, at some point someone in the family’s lineage acquired and leveraged assets. Building assets is simply increasing the amount of money or access to money that you have by acquiring “things” that have present or future monetary value. Increasing your appreciating assets and minimizing your liabilities is the key to building wealth, but it's easier said than done. This is especially true if you are starting from a deficit and haven’t been exposed to the tools and strategies to create wealth.  In part two of our Black Wealth series, we'll be exploring different types of assets and how to get started with building wealth, as well as strategies for leveraging those assets to maximize your returns and achieve your financial goals. Whether you're just starting out or are a seasoned investor, this session is a great opportunity to connect with others in the community and learn from the best. Join us for an engaging and interactive conversation on building wealth through strategic asset acquisition and management. Our panel of experts will be on hand to offer guidance and practical tips, while also facilitating an open discussion where attendees can share their own experiences and insights. Brunch, catered by a local black-owned business, will be provided for in person guests. Space is limited, so be sure to register early to secure your spot. We can't wait to see you there for this special family-style conversation about building black wealth.

Our UO Black Alumni Network is a sponsor and will be volunteering at the booth hosted by UO Government & Community Relations. Stop by the UO booth to say hi and learn more about the thriving UO Black Alumni community!

From the Juneteenth Celebration Eugene hosts: "In an effort to educate our community, show the richness of our presence, and create a gathering space to honor the Black community, members of the Black community are organizing a Juneteenth Celebration. This year's theme is: Black Hair Matters!

Alton Baker Park will be the nucleus of Lane County's vibrant Black community on June 18. Join us in celebration of freedom and to honor this important day in the history of the United States.

Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of African-American slaves. It is also often observed for celebrating African-American culture. Originating in Galveston, Texas, it has been celebrated annually on June 19 in various parts of the US since 1865. The day was recognized as a federal holiday on June 17, 2021, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Juneteenth’s commemoration is on the anniversary date of the June 19, 1865, announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army General Gordon Granger, proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas, which was the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery. All are welcome to join in the celebration!"
