  Individual Differences: Navigating the AI Landscape in Higher Education

  2:20pm

  Individual Differences: Navigating the AI Landscape in Higher Education

  Virtual 

  Facilitator: Michele DiPietro

  The science of learning is predicated on the idea that individual differences enrich the learning environment when explored productively, and differences in AI stance are no exceptions. Far from advocating a one-size-fits-all approach, CETL encourages educators to let their values, conceptions of the future, and individual or disciplinary contexts interrogate their position on AI, whether it be embracing, cautious, rejecting, or anything in between and beyond. In this faculty panel, we will hear from faculty with a variety of perspectives and learn what experiences inform their stance, how they articulate it to their students, and how it unfolds in their teaching. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions and dialogue with the panelists.

  Speaker: Blaise Williams, MSCB student
  Title: From BN-Doping to Multifunctional Sensing: Engineering Electron-Deficient BN-Heteroarenes with Tunable Photophysical Responses
  Abstract: Boron-nitrogen-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (BN-PAHs) have emerged as a versatile platform for designing fluorescent materials with highly tunable optical properties. Incorporation of nitro (–NO₂) groups into BN-heteroaromatic frameworks produces electron-deficient fluorophores with desirable red-shifted absorption and emission; however, strong intermolecular π···π stacking due to strong dipole-dipole interactions often lead to aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ), severely limiting fluorescence performance. Building on our previous work, we utilized molecular twisting to suppress these detrimental interactions and promote aggregation-induced emission (AIE). Although twisted NO₂-substituted BN-heteroaromatics successfully alleviate ACQ, poor solubility has remained a significant barrier to comprehensive photophysical characterization. Herein, we incorporated benzoxadiazole- and benzothiadiazole-based electron-withdrawing heterocycles into the BN-heteroaromatic scaffold to overcome this limitation. These structural modifications expand π-conjugation, reduce the HOMO-LUMO energy gap, preserve the twisted molecular geometry, and dramatically improve solubility while maintaining red-shifted optical properties. The enhanced solubility enables detailed investigations of solvent-, temperature-, halide-, and ion-responsive fluorescence behavior. This work establishes a powerful molecular design strategy for developing highly soluble, electron-deficient BN-based fluorophores that combine red-shifted emission, reduced aggregation effects, and exceptional responsiveness to external stimuli. These findings advance the development of next-generation fluorescent sensors and optoelectronic materials.

  Department of Theatre & Performance Studies Presents: TIDA featuring Mary Prescott

  8:00pm

  at Stillwell Theater

  Stillwell Theater
  Blending music, movement, spoken word and film, Tida is a deeply personal interdisciplinary performance exploring intergenerational cultural identity through artist Mary Prescott’s maternal lineage. Through an intimate and visually evocative theatrical language, Prescott examines her mother’s undocumented Thai ancestry, her experiences as a Southeast Asian immigrant raising biracial children in the American Midwest, and the lasting impact of these histories across three generations of women.
  
  At once reflective and urgently contemporary, Tida moves between memory and discovery, tracing the ways identity is shaped by migration, silence, inheritance and the stories families carry forward. The result is a powerful meditation on ancestry, belonging and the unseen threads that connect generations across time and place.
  
  Presented in partnership with The Year of Thailand and the Bailey School of Music, Tida reflects the season’s broader exploration of branching narratives, cultural connection and the transformative power of storytelling through performance.

  Mathematics Colloquium Series

  2:00pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 218

  Speaker: Dr. Suzanne Fernandes-Sindi, The University of California, Merced
  Title: “Learning from Data: Discovering Models and Expanding Pathways in Science”

  Abstract: How can we learn the underlying rules of complex biological systems directly from data? In this talk, I will share recent work at the intersection of mathematical biology and machine learning, focusing primarily on the discovery of deterministic mathematical models from data generated by multiple agent-based simulations. I will also briefly discuss related work on equation learning for stochastic chemical reaction models. Together, these approaches illustrate how data-driven methods can help us uncover mathematical structure in complex biological systems.

   

  I will also share some of my experiences creating opportunities for students to learn about careers in science through hands-on, collaborative research. I have been part of two long-running efforts that connect students with scientists and research environments beyond the university—one in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and another with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute. These programs have given students opportunities to work on authentic scientific problems while helping them see the many different paths a career in science can take.

   

  The KSU Mathematics Colloquium is a seminar series that brings in researchers from other universities to present results on all areas of mathematics. The talks are targeted at general audiences of students and professors. Faculty and students are welcome to the Department of Mathematics for tea before the lecture from 2:00 to 2:30 pm.

  TILT Your Groupwork for Effective Collaborative Learning 

  Event Type: Virtual

  Facilitator: Rebecca Weaver

  Students express a myriad of complaints about group work: it’s unequal, there’s always some poor schmuck who does all the work while others don’t do any, teachers assign it so that students don’t bother them, teachers assign it because they don’t know what else to do, and so on. But well-facilitated group work can be deeply supportive of student learning at all levels and disciplines. Participants in this engaged and collaborative workshop will apply the foundational principles of the TILT (Transparency In Learning and Teaching) framework to designing for collaborative learning experiences that help our students learn. This workshop fulfills the TILT microcredential requirements.

  EFQA Research Seminar Series with Jaejin Lee

  1:00pm

  at Burruss Building, 380

  Title: "Shared Spaces, Shared Reputations: Investment Adviser Misconduct and Affiliated Bank Branches"

  Abstract: Affiliated financial intermediaries serving the same customers may share a reputation. Using investment advisers' regulatory disclosures of shared locations with affiliated banks, I find that revealed adviser misconduct reduces co-located branches' deposits by approximately four to five percent. The response concentrates in misconduct bearing on customer treatment, scales with severity, and is strongest among retail-facing advisers and common-brand affiliations, consistent with depositors updating their view of the organization. Outflows reallocate to unaffected local competitors, and exposed branches are more likely to close. Corroborated by the 2003 mutual fund scandal, the results show reputational exposure extends across separately regulated sectors.

  Georgia Politics Speaker Series: Representative Akbar Ali

  1:00pm

  at Prillaman Health Sciences, HS 2008

  Event Series: The Georgia Politics Speaker Series brings influential voices from across the state to engage students in timely discussions on governance, policy, and civic responsibility. Designed to deepen understanding and inspire participation, the series connects classroom learning with real-world political dynamics in Georgia.

   

  Speaker: 

  Akbar Ali is a member of the Georgia House of Representatives representing District 106 in Gwinnett County. He took office in December 2025 after winning a special-election runoff.

  At 21 years old, Ali became the youngest state legislator serving in the state and perhaps the youngest state legislator in Georgia’s history.

  A longtime Gwinnett County resident and product of its public schools, Ali earned a bachelor’s degree from Kennesaw State University in political science and public relations. Before entering the legislature, he served as First Vice Chair of the Gwinnett County Democratic Party, organized local political campaigns, and served on the Gwinnett County Transit Advisory Board. He also worked as a legislative aide to Georgia State Sen. Kim Jackson and is an entrepreneur who started his own business at age 20.

  In the legislature, Ali has emphasized issues including affordability, public education, housing, health care, school safety, and support for small businesses. His campaign describes his approach as focused on constituent outreach, practical policy proposals, and putting the needs of District 106 ahead of partisan politics.

  Discrete Mathematics Seminar

  2:00pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 250

  Speaker: Zane Li, North Carolina State University
  Title: “Mixed norm decoupling for paraboloids”
  Abstract: In this talk, we discuss mixed norm decoupling estimates for the paraboloid. One motivation of considering such an estimate is a conjectured mixed norm Strichartz estimate on the torus which essentially is a mean value estimate about exponential sums when measured in $L^{q}_{t}L^{r}_{x}$ for certain exponents $q$ and $r$. This is joint work with Shival Dasu, Hongki Jung, and José Madrid.

   

  The Discrete Math Seminar (DMS) is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of algebra, number theory, and discrete mathematics to get together to discuss their current work or related questions. Seminars often involve advanced mathematical knowledge. However, the seminars are open to anyone interested in attending.

  at Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning, Workshop Lab

  Planning the Feedback Process: Making Feedback Constructive

  Event Type: Virtual

  Facilitator: Meghan Bankhead and Tris Utschig

  One of the biggest challenges we face is how to turn the grading process for our students into a constructive learning experience. This workshop will focus on how to generate effective feedback that is frequent, timely, based on clear criteria, encouraging, and targeted. During the workshop, we will explore some of the research about what makes feedback effective, so that we can help our students move to the next achievable level of performance, no matter what the context for their learning. Participants will leave with a plan to enhance the feedback we provide to our students.
