  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.

  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.

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.

  TILT Your Groupwork for Effective Collaborative Learning 

  11:00am

  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.

  AI Foundations: The Impact of Prior Knowledge 

  Event Type: Virtual

  Facilitator: Laura Howard

  This interactive workshop helps faculty surface how their existing knowledge, assumptions, and misconceptions about AI can shape teaching and learning. Participants will develop a shared foundation by examining generative AI and agentic AI in academic contexts, including core capabilities and limitations; institutionally supported tools, such as Microsoft Copilot; and key considerations related to data governance and accessibility. By situating AI alongside earlier technological shifts in higher education, this session supports faculty in assessing and activating their prior knowledge as they adapt to teaching in the age of AI.

  Discrete Mathematics Seminar

  2:00pm

  at Mathematics Building, D 259

  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.

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.
