National Day of Racial Healing Opening Panel
The School of Languages, Cultures and Race presents this year’s International Film Series “Would you give me the recipe?”: Cinematic Representations of Food, Cooking, Kitchens, and Restaurants. Today, Dr Sam Ginsburg presents Strawberry and Chocolate (Cuba, 1993), directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabío. This is the story of two men who are opposites: one gay, the other straight; one a fierce communist, the other a fierce individualist; one suspicious, the other accepting; and how they come to love each other.

WSU MLK Week will conclude with the Keynote Celebration, featuring keynote speaker Rhonda V. Magee, a distinguished advocate for mindfulness and social justice. The celebration will also include musical performances by God’s Harmony, the Campus Civic Poet Winner, Crimson Couture, and the presentation of the newly revamped MLK Legacy Awards, recognizing individuals and groups who embody Dr. King’s vision for the Beloved Community through their work in service, nonviolence, and social justice.
Join Engineering and Technology Management (ETM) faculty and staff for a deeper dive into how pursuing a master’s degree or graduate certificate can enhance your skills and advance your career in engineering and technology management. In this virtual information session, we’ll cover course curriculum and delivery, new changes to the master’s degree core requirements, the admissions process, certificate options, and more.
Modern power systems face significant operational challenges due to the accelerated and much-needed deployment of decentralized renewable generation. Such deployment has increased power imbalances leading to increased reserve requirements in power transmission grids and is causing operational issues in power distribution grids associated with the delivered quality-of-service (especially concerning voltage quality) as well as lines and transformers congestions. A potential solution to tackle these challenges is to define efficient and scalable control frameworks in active distribution networks (ADNs) capable of: (i) satisfying the local ADNs’ constraints and (ii) aggregating heterogeneous resources at different timescales to provide ancillary services to the transmission network. This work proposes a control and scheduling framework that tracks a pre-defined power profile (dispatch plan) at the grid connection point (GCP) of an ADN while ensuring that the grid states (i.e., the nodal voltages and lines/transformer power/current flows) remain within the prescribed limits. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm by field experiments on real distribution systems installed with controllable energy storage systems and photovoltaic plants as well as fast EV charging stations.
