  • Academic Assessment Period and Early Alerts

    The Academic Assessment Period is Wednesday, Sept. 23, through Sunday, Sept. 27, and is a time to provide substantive academic assessment or feedback to your students. Part of this is identifying students who are at risk by submitting an alert.

    Your feedback through the early alert platform will help us to provide academic support, tutoring, and other interventions early enough in the semester to make a difference for students who need some help.

    As a reminder, teaching assistants assigned to your course in Brightspace may also submit alerts.

Equally at home in classical and contemporary repertoire, he has performed throughout the United States and China, with appearances at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, on Off-Broadway stages in New York, and in major nationally televised productions reaching audiences across China.

    Nan first gained national recognition through appearances on the Chinese television programs "Super Vocal" and "The City of Musicals."

    On the operatic and concert stage, Nan has performed with ensembles and companies including China Opera Theatre Orchestra, Tianjin Opera Orchestra, Shenzhen Grand Theatre Philharmonic Orchestra, Suzhou Philharmonic Orchestra, Guangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra, The Orchestra Now, Central City Opera, Opera Theatre of Connecticut, and Tri-Cities Opera. In 2019, he made his Carnegie Hall debut as a soloist in the world premiere of Zhou Long鈥檚 symphonic cantata Men of Iron and the Golden Spike.

    His stage repertoire includes the title role in "Marco Polo," Rinuccio in "Gianni Schicchi," Young Gypsy in "Aleko," Don Ottavio in "Don Giovanni," Nemorino in "L鈥檈lisir d鈥檃more," Martin in "The Tender Land," and Lu Jiachuan in "Song of the Youth." Expanding increasingly into musical theatre and dramatic performance, Nan appeared as Guo Xiaoguo in the 2025 Off-Broadway production of "The Garden Bridge" at Classic Stage Company in New York and portrayed Richard Loeb in the Cantonese production of Stephen Dolginoff鈥檚 "Thrill Me." In 2026, he originated the leading role of Zheng Yi, the Pirate King, in the new Chinese musical "The Pirate Queen," produced by Xu Jun Studio.

    Beyond the stage, Nan has appeared in leading roles in the films "Autumn in New York," "Snafu," "Teal Blue Echoes," and "Jazz Is for Ordinary People."

  • Keeping bikes safe on campus

    As the new semester starts, the number of bikes and scooters increases across campus. In anticipation of this seasonal trend, the University Police would like to encourage the campus community to take a few proactive steps to protect their property and reduce the chance of its theft.

    If you have a bike or scooter stored outdoors, take a moment to verify that it is properly secured where you left it. Whenever possible, ensure your property is locked to a designated bike rack using a high-quality, durable lock. Additionally, removing an easily detachable part such as the seat or a wheel can serve as a strong deterrent to its theft.

    Finally, one of the most effective ways to assist in recovering a stolen bike or scooter is to keep specific information about the property readily available. Recalling information such as the make, model, and color is helpful; however, documenting unique features such as serial numbers, aftermarket parts, or easily identifiable damage greatly aids in the property鈥檚 recovery. The best way to retain this information is to simply take photos of these features and keep them on your phone.

    If you find that you are a victim of one of these larcenies, a report can be filed with University Police in person on the ground floor of the Couper Administration Building or by contacting University Police Dispatch at (607) 777-2393.

Speakers and Lectures

  • CEMERS lecture series 鈥 鈥淗oly Seeing, Holy Knowing: Image Making, Knowledge Making, and Monasticism in Renaissance Italy鈥: Sept. 30

    The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (CEMERS) invites you to join a lecture at 3 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30, in the IASH Conference Room, LN 1106, for the lecture on 鈥淗oly Seeing, Holy Knowing: Image Making, Knowledge Making, and Monasticism in Renaissance Italy鈥 with guest speaker Stephanie Azzarello, SSHRC postdoctoral fellow and undergraduate lecturer from the Department of Art History at the University of Toronto.

    In early-modern Italy, monasteries were not only places of religious and political significance, but they were also important sites of knowledge production. Nearly all monasteries had a scriptorium to produce texts and images; a library to house their books and manuscripts; and often a school for the education of the monastics living there, and sometimes for the public.

    This talk focuses on the Camaldolese Order, a reform branch of Benedictine monasticism, founded by St. Romuald in 1021, which boasts one of the richest visual cultures of any religious group active in Renaissance Italy. Azzarello will be discussing two Camaldolese monasteries: Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence, and its sister house, San Mattia di Murano in Venice. Santa Maria degli Angeli is famous for its historically prolific scriptorium and the impressive coterie of artists working there. Azzarello will argue that while Santa Maria degli Angeli was better known, San Mattia di Murano was the more innovative and experimental of the two houses. The monks at San Mattia engaged the skills of a brilliant, anonymous painter (the so-called Master of the Murano Gradual) to render sacred scenes using unusual and highly specific iconography. By examining a series of illuminated cuttings that once belonged to a set of large-scale illustrated choir books, Azzarello will explore the ways in which this unorthodox visual language helped the brothers gain a deeper self-knowledge by acutely defining their spiritual identity. The intention of fostering a stronger self-knowing in turn gave them a profound spiritual knowledge and ultimately a better sense of their place within the Christian cosmos. The San Mattia corpus evinces the idea that, during the Renaissance, spirituality and identity were intimately linked, and more significantly, that images could be used as a means for acquiring a deeper knowledge of self and of God.

  • "On the Moral Imagination of 'Strengthening Jewish Identity' in Central Israel" Israel studies roundtable lunch: Oct. 5

    Join the Center for Israel Studies from noon to 1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5, in the IASH Room, LN 1106, for the Israel studies roundtable lunch featuring Professor Andrew Atwell of Bard College, who will be presenting "On the Moral Imagination of 'Strengthening Jewish Identity' in Central Israel."

    In May 2021, following an outburst of internecine violence in the central Israeli city of Lod, the city鈥檚 鈥淭orah seed鈥 group became the object of regional and international scrutiny and attention. This group is part of a wider national-religious movement aiming in the wake of the Oslo Accords to 鈥渟ettle in the hearts鈥 of their fellow Israeli Jews after 鈥渟ettling in the hills鈥 of the post-1967 West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. Beginning in the late 1990s, the movement built 鈥淭orah seed鈥 groups in binational cities inside the Green Line that intervened through myriad projects, including, in the case of Lod, 鈥渟trengthening Jewish identity.鈥 Through examining this project of 鈥渟trengthening Jewish identity鈥 in relation to its critics, in this talk, Atwell explores how a perhaps surprising sense of national-religious discomfiture has shaped and constrained 鈥淭orah seed鈥 group moral imagination and effected political-theological shifts within Israel and far beyond it.

    Vegetarian lunches will be provided. Register on B-Engaged at the link below.
