THE WICKHAMS is a charming holiday tale that explores the confines of class and the generosity of forgiveness.” – Dramatists Play Service

Arts/Entertainment

Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812
By Dave Malloy
Adapted from War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

Set against the grand backdrop of Napoleon’s fateful 1812 invasion of imperial Russia, Natasha, Pierre, & the Great Comet of 1812 recounts innocent Natasha’s fateful surrendering to the sybarite Anatole, disenchanted Pierre’s search for meaning, and the auspicious comet that connects them both.

This Tony-award winning electropop musical straddles genres, providing a unique, once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience. Performed by USU voice and orchestra students in an in-the-round supper club setting at the LionHeart Hall (480 N 100 E, Logan, UT), Nov. 14-15, 20-22, at 7:30pm, Nov. 16 at 4:00pm, and Nov. 22 at 2:00pm.

Dr. Regina Baucom
November 19-20, 2025
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
University of Michigan

I am a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan and I study plant evolutionary ecology and evolutionary genetics. My research examines how plants adapt to environmental pressures, such as herbicide exposure and global change. Notably, I investigate the genetic mechanisms behind herbicide resistance in weedy species like the common morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) and explore the ecological consequences of herbicide use on plant-insect interactions. Overall, my research program bridges evolutionary theory with agricultural and environmental challenges to provide insight into rapid adaptation and eco-evolutionary dynamics.

The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley

Arts/Entertainment

“In this delightful companion play to Miss Bennet, Gunderson and Melcon once again bring Austen’s beloved characters to the stage for a yuletide sequel to Pride and Prejudice. While Miss Bennet depicted the newly wed Darcys’ Christmas gathering on the ground floor of Pemberley, THE WICKHAMS takes audiences to the downstairs servants’ quarters for that same celebration. Mrs. Reynolds, a no-nonsense housekeeper; Cassie, an eager new maid; and Brian, a lovesick footman, are bustling with preparations for holiday guests. But their work is interrupted by the midnight arrival of the definitely not invited Mr. Wickham—Lydia’s rogue of a husband and Mr. Darcy’s sworn enemy. THE WICKHAMS is a charming holiday tale that explores the confines of class and the generosity of forgiveness.” – Dramatists Play Service

Enhancing Engineering Students' Problem-Solving through Metacognition and Self-Regulation

Conference/Seminar

Problem-solving in engineering is widely recognized as one of the most challenging skills to teach and learn. Success relies heavily on students’ understanding of the problem-solving task (metacognitive knowledge about tasks) and their ability to self-regulate through monitoring and evaluation strategies. This interactive workshop draws on research with undergraduate engineering and mathematics students, which identified seven distinct learning episodes that illustrate the interplay between task understanding, self-regulation, and performance. The workshop consists of two complementary parts. The first part, “Understanding the Problem-Solving Task,” invites participants to explore these seven learning episodes, reflect on student approaches, and identify instructional strategies tailored to each scenario. The second part, “Designing Instructional Strategies for Adaptive Problem- Solving,” focuses on hands-on application, engaging attendees in activities and case discussions to develop and refine instructional practices that enhance metacognitive awareness and self-regulation. Participants will leave with both a research-informed conceptual framework and practical tools.

We meet up at the Cache Food Pantry at 2pm where we weigh up and donate all of the food. Food that is harder to carry or heavier is a higher point value, there is also trivia for bonus points, the team with the most points wins fun prizes from local businesses. Registration for this event is free, but participants should expect to pay upwards of $20 on groceries. Like all events at Aggie Blue Bikes, Cranksgiving is open to all ages and skill levels.

The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley

Arts/Entertainment

“In this delightful companion play to Miss Bennet, Gunderson and Melcon once again bring Austen’s beloved characters to the stage for a yuletide sequel to Pride and Prejudice. While Miss Bennet depicted the newly wed Darcys’ Christmas gathering on the ground floor of Pemberley, THE WICKHAMS takes audiences to the downstairs servants’ quarters for that same celebration. Mrs. Reynolds, a no-nonsense housekeeper; Cassie, an eager new maid; and Brian, a lovesick footman, are bustling with preparations for holiday guests. But their work is interrupted by the midnight arrival of the definitely not invited Mr. Wickham—Lydia’s rogue of a husband and Mr. Darcy’s sworn enemy. THE WICKHAMS is a charming holiday tale that explores the confines of class and the generosity of forgiveness.” – Dramatists Play Service

Darren Parry:The Earth Still Remembers Us

Conference/Seminar

The Heravi Peace Institute presents a lecture by Darren Perry:
The Earth Still Remembers Us: Indigenous Teachings on Hope, Character, and Climate Resilience
In a time of unprecedented ecological change, Indigenous worldviews remind us that the Earth is not a resource, it is a relative that remembers our songs, our stories, and our responsibilities. This keynote explores how Indigenous knowledge systems cultivate the moral character and relational ethics essential for climate resilience and peacebuilding. Drawing on teachings of reciprocity, humility, and gratitude, Darren Parry shares how ancestral wisdom offers pathways to restore balance between people and planet.
Through stories from the Shoshone tradition and contemporary examples of land stewardship, he will illustrate how hope is not a passive emotion but an active practice rooted in relationship. When we live with respect and responsibility, we remember who we are—and in doing so, the Earth remembers us too.

Science Unwrapped - From Superconductors to Black Holes

Special Event | Science Unwrapped

Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to Science Unwrapped, the free, public outreach program of USU's College of Arts and Sciences. Our events begin with a brief presentation, and are followed by hands-on learning activities and refreshments. At our January 23 event: A “duality” is something consisting of two things. Think “day and night,” “up and down,” and “left and right.” USU physicists Abhay Katyal and Oscar Varela explore dualities in physics, in which two seemingly different phenomena are described by the same underlying physical principles. Consider the everyday example of electricity and magnetism: Power plants generate electricity by using magnets, and running electricity through wires can, in turn, make a magnet. “Unification” means becoming united or one whole thing. Abhay and Oscar are among physicists exploring the ambitious idea that dualities can be unified – a theory that proposes nature can be described by a small set of physical laws. At Science Unwrapped, they’ll discuss how the tiniest subatomic particles behave, according to physical laws, in ways similar to immense gravitational systems like black holes.

FSQ at USU 2025-26 Series: The Crossing Point

Arts/Entertainment

The Long Arc

Program:
W.A. Mozart | StringQuartet in E-flat Major, K. 428
Leoš Janácek | String Quartet No. 1 “Kreutzer Sonata”
Ludwig van Beethoven | String Quartet in C-sharp minor, Op. 131

The final concert of the season reaches back—not as escape, but as remembrance.

These works span classical elegance, psychological rupture, and transcendent modernity. Mozart offers luminous clarity. Janácek brings stormy, uncontained passion. And Beethoven’s late quartet stands like a mountain at the edge of time—defiant, searching, and radiant with radical tenderness.

Together, this program honors the lineage of the string quartet as a space of intensity and transformation. These composers, in their own eras, were each asking: What is possible within four voices?

The Fry Street Quartet asks the same.

This concert roots the season in resonance, community, and the long arc of wisdom through sound.

Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to Science Unwrapped, the free, public outreach program of USU's College of Arts and Sciences. Our events begin with a brief presentation, and are followed by hands-on learning activities and refreshments. At our February 20 event: Plastics are everywhere in our modern world, providing convenience for packaging, clothing, furnishings, infrastructure and the many consumer products that make our lives easier. But plastic waste, which breaks down into small particles, is making its way into our air, soils, water, food – and into our bodies – all of which can harm our health and environment. USU environmental engineers Akib Al Mahir and Joanna (Liyuan) Hou are studying how microplastics interact with varied microbes in wastewater. Some of these microbes are beneficial and can break down microplastics. Others are harmful to humans and the environment. Akib and Joanna are exploring how microplastics behave like “tiny Uber drivers” that can transport microbes in ways that are helpful and not helpful.

Special Event | Science Unwrapped

Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to Science Unwrapped, the free, public outreach program of USU's College of Arts and Sciences. Our events begin with a brief presentation, and are followed by hands-on learning activities and refreshments. At our March 20 event: All living things, including people, face trade-offs. We only have so much time and energy to accomplish the things we want to do. Animals strive to reproduce, live as long as possible and defend their young, but sometimes they have to give up one or more of these goals. Queen bees, on the other hand, have lots of helpers that enable them to avoid more trade-offs than most other animals, and to accomplish more of what they want to do. USU biologist Karen Kapheim and her graduate students study the fascinating lives of social bees. Karen will tell us about the lives of queen bees, and will share what these creatures can teach us about evolutionary processes.

Special Event | Science Unwrapped

Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to Science Unwrapped, the free, public outreach program of USU's College of Arts and Sciences. Our events begin with a brief presentation, and are followed by hands-on learning activities and refreshments. At our April 10 event: You can see dark clouds forming in the distance and prepare for a storm. Hurricane forecasters can pinpoint disturbances over oceans, track their movements and predict where and when they might strike land. Not so with earthquakes, says USU geophysicist Srisharan Shreedharan – at least not yet. Srisharan and his graduate students make tiny earthquakes or “labquakes” in his innovative “earthquake machines.” At Science Unwrapped, Srisharan and master’s student Lindsey Broderick will share what they’re learning and how their efforts could improve earthquake forecasting broadly, and closer to home, along the Wasatch Fault Zone in Utah.
