Meet a Retriever—Tanzila Malik, gender and women's studies major, and multi-semester on-campus intern
Meet Tanzila Malik, a senior majoring in gender and women's studies and minoring in political science and anthropology. Tanzila is an intern with University Communications and Marketing and a former intern of the Women's, Gender, and Equity Center. Malik's mentors "challenged me to move out of my comfort zone and gave me the confidence to pursue incredible opportunities that I'd never thought possible," she says.

Choice will host a costume pop-up closet--a bootique--for neighbors in Cherry Hill (south Baltimore City) on Saturday October 25, 2-4 p.m. We hope to have 100 costumes to distribute. Do you have any butterfly wings, crowns, super hero get-ups that you would like to donate? I would love to take them off your hands. All sizes welcome.
I have a box outside of my office in Shriver: Public Policy (PUP) 116. Please feel free to drop them off until Thursday, October 23.
Thanks to the many student organizations who are supporting this effort including Sisterhood who held a bake sale to buy ones! And thanks to Division of Professional Studies/Shriver colleagues who have been generous too.
Why Cherry Hill? It's our mothership! Choice was founded in Cherry Hill in 1988. It's our only residential neighborhood-based office.

Invitation: PhD Proposal Defense - Bingxu Zhang
Oct. 9, 10am, M.E. Conference Room
Hello ME Community,
You are invited to join the PhD Proposal Defense of Bingxu Zhang on Thursday, October 9, beginning at 10am, in the ME Conference Room (ENGR210-I).
Advisor: Weidong Zhu
Title: Wave Propagation in Discrete Nonlinear Lattices
Abstract:
This research focuses on theoretical analysis of wave propagation in strongly nonlinear discrete lattices. Discrete periodic lattices as a kind of matematerials have attracted a lot of attention due to their unique properties such as propagation and attenuation zones, tunable band gaps, nonreciprocal wave propagation, and so on. When the nonlinearity of the lattices is weak, the perturbation methods can capture some basic properties of wave propagation. However, the perturbation methods will be invalid and the incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method can be used to analyze wave propagation when the increase of the amplitude or system properties lead to nonlinear enhancement. But the IHB method may sometimes be invalid due to convergence issues.
This proposal plans to develop a series of analytical methods to analyze wave propagation behaviors in discrete nonlinear lattices, and research objectives are twofold: system response and stability analyses. Due to the absence of damping and external excitation in general, the solution for wave propagation is in a hyperplane with two dimensions. Hence, a modified IHB method combined with the least squares method is used to improve the robustness of the IHB method. The direction interpolation method (DIM) is developed to achieve smooth tracking at turning points. A method based on Hill's method is used to identify the stability and bifurcation of solutions for wave propagation in discrete strongly nonlinear structures, and to achieve tracking of bifurcations combined with the DIM. The outcomes are expected to establish predictive tools for nonlinear lattice dynamics and guide the design of adaptive metamaterials.

[REPOST] Language as personal and communal expression: an interactive zine-making workshop with Dr. Joyhanna Jung Yoo & Shengxiao "Sole" Yu
Reframing Global Asias Conversation Series Workshop
Repost from UMBC Global Asias Initiative. To see the original post, click here.
Language as personal and communal expression: an interactive zine-making workshop
Dr. Joyhanna Jung Yoo and Shengxiao "Sole" Yu will lead participants through an exploration of their personal relationship to their heritage language(s). The workshop will ask participants to reflect on the relationship of language in their lives as it pertains to identity, family, thought, and more. The workshop aims to bring together students and broader community members to think about the connections between issues of language to broader community and social concerns.
Thursday, October 23, 2025
2-4pm
Location: CADVC Gallery, Fine Arts 105
Attendance is capped at 25 participants. Priority will be given to students.
About the speakers:
Joyhanna "Joy" Yoo (she/they) is a linguistic anthropologist whose work examines the circulation of Korean popular cultural genres with fieldwork based in Seoul, Mexico City, and Los Angeles. Their research examines the meanings generated by language as it pertains to race and gender when cultural genres circulate. Joy has also published on Asian American racialization and linguistic appropriation in mediatized contexts. Her newer work examines the relationship between language loss, grief, and Korean diasporic belonging. They are especially passionate about student-centered teaching, mentorship, and student advocacy.
Shengxiao Yu, known by her nickname Sole, is a speaker, facilitator, writer, and social justice educator. She is the creator of Nectar, a space where she provides political education for the community through giving keynote speeches, facilitating workshops, and providing thought leadership. In 2024, Sole served as the activist-in-residence at the Asian American Studies Center at the University of California, Los Angeles. In this capacity, Sole conducted research to more deeply understand the AAPI electoral landscape and the role of mis- and disinformation. Sole is a writer for the Xin Sheng Project, a platform combating misinformation in the Chinese diaspora community by publishing in-language, progressive articles that shift perspectives and build intergenerational power. As a generation 1.5 Asian American, Sole is also working to build community among her fellow Asian Americans in order to build socio-political power and to lift up her lineage. Sole is inspired by BIPOC activists, grassroots community leaders, and all the intersectional movement ancestors who have paved the way.

This event is part of the Reframing Global Asias Conversation Series. For the conversation series this fall, the Global Asias Initiative is hosting guest speakers Shengxiao "Sole" Yu and Dr. Joyhanna Jung Yoo for a series of workshops & lectures.
