SUMMARY:Health Administration Grand Rounds: Leading in Difficult Times: The power of low-ego and high-drive leadership
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Amer Kaissi\, Ph.D.\,  Professor of Health Administration\, Trinity University and Executive Coach\n \nEach semester\, the Bloustein School Health Administration program hosts a nationally-recognized speaker to deliver research “grand rounds.” All students\, faculty\, and community members are welcome to attend. In the post-Covid world of emotional exhaustion\, staffing shortages and financial challenges\, improving employee engagement and sparking their innovation and creativity is an uphill battle for most leaders. In this session\, Amer shows that leaders who have the confidence to make hard decisions in uncertain environments and the humility to admit mistakes\, can better connect with their team members\, while empowering them to integrate novel ideas into how they solve problems. Building on the latest research evidence and his experience as a coach with high-level executives\, he makes a convincing argument that humbitious and open-minded leadership is the best way to lead in difficult times. He provides specific take-home behaviors for leaders to implement immediately and transform the way they lead.  \n \nNO RSVP NEEDED\, join by Zoom\n  \nTo purchase a copy of Dr. Kaissi’s book\, “Humbitious: The Power of Low-Ego\, High-Drive Leadership\,” visit Amazon

SUMMARY:Bloustein Lecture - Antisemitism in the Heartland: Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:Hubert Humphrey was elected mayor of Minneapolis in 1945 and\, in just three years\, transformed it from being nationally notorious for its antisemitism and anti-Black racism to being nationally acclaimed for its concrete progress on civil rights. How Humphrey accomplished what he did is both dramatic as a part of history and instructive amid the present upsurge in antisemitism. Raised in a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant enclave in South Dakota\, there was no intrinsic reason for Humphrey to devote so much of his public life to battling against racial and religious discrimination. \nSamuel Freedman will discuss his new book\, Into the Bright Sunshine: Young Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights\, which examines this obscure chapter of Humphrey’s life. It foretells the man who was President Lyndon B. Johnson’s right hand in pushing through the landmark civil rights laws of the mid-1960s and provides a powerful and useful analogue to today’s struggles. \n****************** \nThe Ruth Ellen Steinman Bloustein and Edward J. Bloustein Memorial Lecture series focuses on three main themes. One area of exploration is the study and preservation of animal species and the natural environment. A second theme celebrates love\, happiness\, and laughter as tools of clinical medicine. The third topic seeks to explore and promote humane values\, which Ed Bloustein believed were woven in the fabric of Judaic tradition and passed down from generation to generation.

SUMMARY:Intelligent Informatics at Rutgers: Data Visualization with Python Jupyter Notebooks – A Hands-on Introduction
DESCRIPTION:The session consisted of brief presentations\, with around 100 minutes of interactive work-along demo of data visualization with Jupyter Notebooks\, and ended with Q&A. Participants learned to create data visualizations and can opt to either access Rutgers University’s high-performance computing (HPC) platform/cloud* or to run the code locally on their own computers. \n\nDr. Bala Desinghu\, Senior Scientist from OARC\, Rutgers University provided an interactive introduction to data visualization with insights on the use of high-performance computing.\nDr. Abhishek Tripathi\, Associate Professor\, School of Business\, TCNJ\, introduced the use of Python libraries such as Seaborn\, Plotly and Cufflinks for creating advanced and interactive data visualizations.\nDr. Jim Samuel\, Associate Professor\, Rutgers Bloustein School\, concluded the session with insights on the use of Artificial Intelligence for visualizations and language data visualizations.\n\nThis workshop was hosted by the Rutgers Urban and Civic Informatics Lab (RUCI Lab) at the Bloustein School and the Rutgers Office of Advanced Research Computing and sponsored by the Bloustein School Master of Public Informatics program. It was organized by Dr. Bala Desinghu and Dr. Jim Samuel in collaboration with our partners\, the Eastern Regional Network (ERN)\, the Northeast Big Data Innovation Hub (NEBDI Hub)\, and the New Jersey Big Data Alliance (NJBDA).
