SUMMARY:Mindful Meditation by Bhakti Yoga Club of UNC Chapel Hill
DESCRIPTION:Mindful Meditation by Bhakti Yoga Club of UNC Chapel Hill\n\nMindful meditation is a key practice of Bhakti Yoga. Original Yoga practices were made to help one control their thoughts and actions through raising awareness and self-regulation. Yoga from ancient India was originally meant for the mind before it was popularized as a physical activity. The UNC Bhakti Yoga club is working to help students experience these same fulfilling feelings through mindful meditation. \nThe Bhakti Yoga Club is committed to creating a stress-relieving and welcoming environment. Free vegan treats will be provided to session participants. All are welcome! \nThe main session runs from 7-8 P.M. Participants are welcome to stay (from 8-8:30 P.M.) after the main session\, to enjoy some snacks and interact with other participants. \nNotes: \nYou do not need to RSVP to attend! We only use the RSVP headcount as an estimate so we know how much food to bring (+ so we can have extras for everyone). \nYou do not need a yoga mat (this is not physical exercise). You are welcome to stay as long as you like during the sessions. You also do not need to have attended previous sessions to show up to an upcoming one. Feel free to come and see how you feel. \n\n\n\n      From Monday\, April 27\, 2026 7:00 PM\n      to 8:00 PM EDT\n      at Student Union #3407.

SUMMARY:Getting Proper about Prompting:  An Introduction to Prompt Engineering for Social Science and Survey Research (Cancelled)
DESCRIPTION:Getting Proper about Prompting:  An Introduction to Prompt Engineering for Social Science and Survey Research\n\nTake a glance through recent news or social media and you would be hard-pressed not to see mentions of chatbots and artificial intelligence (AI) methods aimed at generating text\, images and other content.  Recent work by Eloundou and colleagues (2023) explored the potential impact of these types of generative AI on labor markets\, and survey research\, specifically was among the top two most impacted industries.  Professor Andrew Ng has been cited as saying “AI won’t replace human workers\, but ‘people that use it will replace people that don’t.’”  Much of the way researchers in the social sciences and survey research are incorporating AI into their workflow involves some type of prompting.  Prompt Engineering approaches along with more nuanced fine tuning approaches are being used and refined to better incorporate more robust approaches for AI incorporation into the research process.  In this shortcourse we will provide an overview of the emerging field of prompt engineering and illustrate how a prompt engineering approach and problem specification mindset can be useful for maximizing the utility of large language models\, specifically\, within social science.  Concepts and experimental approaches will be illustrated using several real-world\, grounded and published work.  The shortcourse also incorporates an experiential component that encourages participants to apply basic concepts that we cover in the course in real-time as we work on exercises together in the later part of the course. \nRegistration and a refundable deposit is required to receive Zoom link. Deposit will be refunded upon attendance of course. \nTo learn more and register\, click HERE. \n\n\n\n      From Thursday\, April 30\, 2026 1:00 PM\n      to 5:00 PM EDT\n      at Online.
