	Beyond the Marlboro Man: Lung Cancer in Women Owens Auditorium Dr. Heather Wakelee is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Stanford University in the Division of Oncology, where she leads the lung cancer medical oncology research program and has authored or co-authored over 60 medical articles on lung cancer and related topics. She attended Princeton University as an undergraduate with a major in molecular biology and then went to medical school at Johns Hopkins University. She returned to her native California for internal medicine residency and fellowship training in medical oncology at Stanford University. Dr. Wakelee’s focus is in clinical research in lung cancer patients. She is the principal investigator of the ongoing international lung cancer intergroup trial E1505 that is studying the potential role of bevacizumab in addition to adjuvant chemotherapy for resected early stage non-small cell lung cancer. She has a strong interest in the use of adjuvant therapy in lung cancer and frequently lectures on the topic. Dr. Wakelee has led several investigator-initiated protocols looking at other uses of bevacizumab in NSCLC as well as playing a central role in clinical trials with many other anti-angiogenic agents. Other pathways of interest include EGFR targeted drugs, especially agents designed to overcome resistance. As part of the developmental therapeutics group at Stanford she is involved in phase I trials of many other exciting novel compounds, with an eye towards further development of them in lung cancer. She has also worked extensively in sex differences in lung cancer with publications looking at hormone therapy and lung cancer in the Women’s Health Initiative and analyses with the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group.
	Sculpture at Evergreen 7: Landscape as Laboratory 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM The art and science of landscape architecture is never more evident than in the reading of a site. When a site has the cultural and topographical depth of Evergreen, translating such significance through imaginative design can be both challenging and rewarding. Responding to the property’s 155-year history and diverse collections, a team of students from the University of Maryland’s Landscape Architecture program has designed ten exciting site-specific installations that redefine Evergreen—the house, the grounds, the ideal. Come contemplate this laboratory for the curious-at-heart. The exhibition is guest-curated by Jack Sullivan, coordinator of the Master of Landscape Architecture Program and associate professor in the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at the University of Maryland.
	Thesis Defense Seminar 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM Hampton House - (339) Effect of Health Care Professionals' Weight-related Advice on U.S. Adults Patients' Physical Activity and Weight Change Hsing-Yu Yang, DrPH Candidate Department of Health Policy and Management
	Alix Aymé: European Perception and Asian Poeticism 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM This is the first American retrospective exhibition of French female painter Alix Aymé (1894–1989), an influential participant in the promotion of Paris-born Modernism in the era between the World Wars, and a vital human bridge between the schools of Western painting and Asian—specifically Chinese and Japanese—drawing. The exhibition features over 30 paintings, drawings and book illustrations chronicling a career that was inspired by Paris and travel to Asia.
	Eliot Porter: TREES 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM A focus exhibition of American photographer Eliot Porter’s mesmerizing, limited edition Trees portfolio, 10 dye transfer prints created between 1958 and 1975 representing a master’s view of one of the most basic elements of the landscape, the tree. Each image represents a different treatment, a skillful use of color, light, or composition. Subjects range from the grand to the intimate, from colorful to stark. This edition of the portfolio was given to the University of Maryland by Joseph French and Evergreen is honored to share in its inaugural exhibition in partnership with The Art Gallery at the University of Maryland.
	Tai Hwa Goh: Lullaby in Evergreen 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM Tai Hwa Goh is a Korean-born printmaker and paper artist living in the New Jersey Palisades. As Evergreen’s tenth artist-in-residence, she will transform the mansion’s grand main staircase, which once marked the transition from social to private space, into a three-dimensional sculpture using enlarged, cut, and reworked hand waxed prints inspired by the museum and library collections. The installation forges a physical relationship with the architectural space and surfaces, inviting viewers to engage with and consider the materiality of prints. Marked by the artist’s interest in contrasting the fragility of works on paper with concrete architectural elements, the work invites multiple interpretations and questions the concept of print reproduction.

	The American Style: Colonial Revival and the Modern Metropolis 6:30 PM Throughout American history, no style has proven more enduring than the Colonial Revival, which emerged in the late nineteenth century. Powerfully connecting the present to the past, the Colonial Revival remains popular today, retaining its status as the American style. Join Donald Albrecht, Curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of the City of New York, for an exploration of the Colonial Revival from a national perspective, and the movement’s impact on New York City—the ultimate modern metropolis. Albrecht has curated exhibitions that have ranged from overviews of cultural trends to profiles of individual design firms and artists, including last year’s critically acclaimed "The American Style: Colonial Revival and the Modern Metropolis." This is the third and final talk in The House Beautiful lecture series. Guests are invited to stay after for a reception and book-signing with the speaker.
	Jennifer Wallace 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM Barnes & Noble JHU Book Store Local author and MICA lecturerer, Jennifer Wallace, will be discussing and signing copies of her latest book, It Can be Solved by Walking. About the book: Jennifer Wallace works way out at the very edges of form – in environmental terms, at the ecotone, that transitional zone where two habitats meet, mingle characteristics, and shelter creatures who thrive on varieties of sustenance and protection, and changing, dappled light. So just what is this gorgeous work -- a poetic essay? travel journal? city daybook? collection of reading notes? photojournalistic sequence? Amazingly, all these inclinations find a place within. A passionate attachment to the heartbeat of language, the ambling rhythms of a city walker, and bone-clean lines shape these meditations and are the means by which Jennifer Wallace sifts Baltimore’s grief and beauty, its land- and humanscape, for gold. Lia Purpura On Looking, Finalist National Book Award "Cities" are elusive organisms. The twentieth century yielded a treasure trove of literature on cities from economists, architects, geographers, political scientists, sociologists, civil engineers, and urban planners. But in the face of the complex, polymorphous nature of cities, academic theories and models always come up short - sort of like describing Times Square as the intersection between Broadway, Seventh Avenue and several cross streets (as a traffic engineer might put it!). In particular, most academic urbanism misses the essential life of cities, what J. B. Jackson called "the vernacular city." This dimension which eludes the positivists of social science is the realm of the humanities: the novelist, the artist, the photographer, the dramatist, the movie director, and the poet. Jennifer Wallace in this collection of poems and photographs blends two of these humanistic art forms to capture glimpses of her adopted city of Baltimore: its history, its pride, its squalor, its nature, and its people. With acute observation, robust description, and artful wit, she invites us to view the neighborhoods of Baltimore at a walking pace without preconceptions or illusions as to what cities are supposed to be. She cherishes the ordinary, the vernacular, the sordid, and the humane faces of cities without judging them. This is a wonderful contribution to a new humanistic understanding of cities. Rutherford H. Platt Professor of Geography Emeritus, University of Massachusetts Amherst Editor, The Humane Metropolis: People and Nature in the 21st Century City Baltimore can be a difficult city – and an even harder one to put down on paper. As Jennifer Wallace writes, one must be In love with the difficult stories//because they are not mine, because they are mine. Her rich and moving poems and photographs perfectly capture its sights, sounds, and flavors of its urban ecology, its Particulars, holy and minute. Truly the amazements of her book are what come not only by walking, but also from seeing with clear and compassionate eyes, by listening, by feeling. By art. By poetry. Reginald Harris 10 Tongues Finalist, Lambda Literary Award About the author: Jennifer Wallace teaches at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland. She is a poetry editor at The Cortland Review and a founding editor of Toadlily Press. Her chapbook, Minor Heaven, appears in Desire Path (Toadlily Press, 2005). In 2009 she directed a short documentary, Inter : View, A Conversation About Nature and the City. Her photographs have been exhibited at the Baltimore Museum of Art and at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She has written essays for exhibition catalogs and literary magazines; her poems appear in numerous journals and anthologies.
