Move Smart, Break Less: Join the 2026 Responsible AI Conference

As AI transitions from a "future tech" to a daily reality, the real challenge for the next generation of leaders is balancing rapid innovation with global responsibility. This April, the Yale School of Management's Artificial Intelligence Association is hosting its flagship event: The 2026 Responsible AI in Global Business Conference.
Our sessions are designed to be high-impact and multi-disciplinary, bringing together leaders to tackle:
The Global Perspective: How international policy and national security are being reshaped.
The Future of Work: A look at how AI is redesigning roles and required skills.
Practical Governance: Moving beyond theory to operationalize ethics in real-world models.
The main conference event consists of a full day of keynote speakers, panels, and breakout discussions on Friday, April 10th in Evans Hall.

The Atelier presents Dr. Frederic Mendelsohn’s picturesque landscape scenes in a solo exhibition, opening Thursday, April 2 and running through Thursday, April 30.

Dr. Mendelsohn’s profound vision transcends a simple landscape view to uncover “unobvious” scenes. By using color symbolism and brushwork to mirror the stillness translates intangible feelings into visual elements. When a viewer engages with the resulting work, they aren't just seeing a scene; they feel the heat of a painted sun or the calm of a silent pond.
“I think of myself as a truth seeker. I want to create an original work that emulates Mother Nature in a painterly fashion, rendering art that captures the effects of atmosphere through color and light. My goal is to effortlessly paint what I envision in my mind’s eye.”

Dr. Frederic Mendelsohn, is a modern-day Renaissance man — neurologist, philanthropist, author, musician and artist. He is the holder of both a BA and MA degree as well as a MD, and is predominantly a landscape artist utilizing both oil and egg tempera paints. With over four decades of experience, Frederic has studied extensively with the Art Students League in NYC, The Art League of Long Island, New School University, and Marymount College, and is a proud member of the Long Island Museum Artist Guild as well as the Setauket Artist Group and the North Shore Art Guild.

The opening reception for this amazing solo exhibition is Thursday, April 2, 5:30-7:30PM. Come meet Dr. Mendelsohn and experience the beauty of our local landscape! For more information. call 631-250-9009.

The exhibition includes work in a variety of media by artists including Jasper Johns, Faith Ringgold, Robert Rauschenberg, Shepard Fairey, and Julie Mehretu, and challenges viewers to consider who the American flag truly represents and whether justice is available to all.

Playing fresh takes on the classics and deep cuts you'll love.

She Sings Dylan delivers a unique, female-fronted take on Bob Dylan’s vast catalog with fresh arrangements of beloved classics and rare gems.

The band features lead vocalist Kate Hubbard and supporting vocalist, mandolinist, and clarinetist Sophia Coppola, alongside a top-tier lineup of Northeast musicians: Jeff Martinson (guitar), Bill Carbone (drums), Sean Elkind (keys), and Marty Moroney (bass), all seasoned players known from bands like Max Creek and Mystic Dead.

The band was started in 2014 by one-time Dylan musical director Rob Stoner as Rob Stoner’s Rolling Thunder Revival, and continued on for several years after Stoner’s departure. The group has found a renewed purpose and a fresh sound after a pandemic hiatus.
