    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.

    Morgan Concert Hall

    “America at 250, Vol. 2: A Tanglewood Reunion”
    The KSU Symphony Orchestra continues celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of United States of America with a performance featuring works by two major composers associated with the Tanglewood Music Center: Copland and Bernstein. BSOM faculty artist Leonardo Lopes is the featured soloist in a double bass concerto by one of the founders of Tanglewood – and Bernstein’s primary conducting teacher – Serge Koussevitzky.

    Since its founding in 2004, the KSU Symphony Orchestra has grown into a vibrant musical community where emerging artists engage the great orchestral traditions while shaping the future of symphonic performance. Bringing together musicians from across disciplines and backgrounds, the ensemble approaches each performance with technical excellence, expressive depth and a spirit of discovery.

    This season’s programs journey across landscapes both historical and geographical — from celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary like this one, to a preview of the orchestra’s international tour repertory as they prepare to travel through Prague, Vienna and Budapest this spring. Along the way, you will encounter masterworks of the orchestral canon alongside bold contemporary compositions and performances featuring distinguished Bailey School of Music faculty artists and award-winning student soloists.

    Whether interpreting timeless repertoire or premiering new creative voices, the KSU Symphony Orchestra creates performances that are expansive, emotionally resonant and deeply connected to the world around them. This season reflects music’s enduring ability to travel across cultures and generations, carrying traditions and shared human experience wherever it is heard.

    KSU’s Jazz Ensemble I opens the fall semester with its first concert of the year, led by Sam Skelton. The program features the energy and drive of big band jazz, highlighting expressive ensemble playing and spirited improvisation.

    Jazz lives in the space between structure and spontaneity; in the split-second decisions, fearless collaboration and unmistakable energy of artists creating in the moment. At the Bailey School of Music, Jazz Ensemble I brings that spirit to life through performances that honor the rich traditions of jazz while embracing its constant evolution.

    Drawing from swing, big band, fusion, contemporary jazz and original composition, the ensemble performs music that is rhythmically charged, emotionally expressive and deeply rooted in the art of improvisation. Students develop the versatility and creative fluency demanded of today’s musicians through intensive rehearsal, collaboration and performance alongside internationally recognized guest artists and master teachers.

    Whether reimagining classic repertoire or exploring new musical terrain, Jazz Ensemble I creates concerts that pulse with precision and personality. Each performance becomes a conversation -- between musicians, between generations of influence and between the audience and the music unfolding in real time.

      Onyx Theater

      In a world suspended somewhere between Heaven and Hell, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot transforms one of history’s most infamous figures into the center of a wildly imaginative courtroom trial. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and directed by Jacqueline Springfield, the play blends sharp humor, raw humanity and philosophical inquiry in a theatrical experience that is both irreverent and deeply compassionate.

      Through flashbacks, witness testimonies and surreal interrogations featuring everyone from Mother Teresa and Sigmund Freud to Satan himself, the production wrestles with questions of guilt, forgiveness, free will and the possibility of redemption. Time bends, history collides with contemporary language and sacred figures become startlingly human.

      By turns hilarious, provocative and emotionally piercing, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot reflects the spirit of a season rooted in branching perspectives and difficult questions, inviting audiences to confront not only the fate of Judas, but the complexities of mercy, justice, and human imperfection itself.

      Through flashbacks, witness testimonies and surreal interrogations featuring everyone from Mother Teresa and Sigmund Freud to Satan himself, the production wrestles with questions of guilt, forgiveness, free will and the possibility of redemption. Time bends, history collides with contemporary language and sacred figures become startlingly human.

      By turns hilarious, provocative and emotionally piercing, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot reflects the spirit of a season rooted in branching perspectives and difficult questions, inviting audiences to confront not only the fate of Judas, but the complexities of mercy, justice, and human imperfection itself.

      “America at 250, Vol. 3”
      The KSU Symphony Orchestra continues celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of United States of America with a performance of works by American composers. BSOM faculty artist Samantha Frischling is the featured soloist in Inter Alia, a song cycle for soprano and orchestra written by new BSOM composition faculty, David Kirkland Garner.

      Since its founding in 2004, the KSU Symphony Orchestra has grown into a vibrant musical community where emerging artists engage the great orchestral traditions while shaping the future of symphonic performance. Bringing together musicians from across disciplines and backgrounds, the ensemble approaches each performance with technical excellence, expressive depth and a spirit of discovery.

      This season’s programs journey across landscapes both historical and geographical — from celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary like this one, to a preview of the orchestra’s international tour repertory as they prepare to travel through Prague, Vienna and Budapest this spring. Along the way, you will encounter masterworks of the orchestral canon alongside bold contemporary compositions and performances featuring distinguished Bailey School of Music faculty artists and award-winning student soloists.

      Whether interpreting timeless repertoire or premiering new creative voices, the KSU Symphony Orchestra creates performances that are expansive, emotionally resonant and deeply connected to the world around them. This season reflects music’s enduring ability to travel across cultures and generations, carrying traditions and shared human experience wherever it is heard.

    8:00pm
    at Bailey Performance Center

    Morgan Concert Hall

    “America at 250, Vol. 2: A Tanglewood Reunion”
    The KSU Symphony Orchestra continues celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of United States of America with a performance featuring works by two major composers associated with the Tanglewood Music Center: Copland and Bernstein. BSOM faculty artist Leonardo Lopes is the featured soloist in a double bass concerto by one of the founders of Tanglewood – and Bernstein’s primary conducting teacher – Serge Koussevitzky.

    Since its founding in 2004, the KSU Symphony Orchestra has grown into a vibrant musical community where emerging artists engage the great orchestral traditions while shaping the future of symphonic performance. Bringing together musicians from across disciplines and backgrounds, the ensemble approaches each performance with technical excellence, expressive depth and a spirit of discovery.

    This season’s programs journey across landscapes both historical and geographical — from celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary like this one, to a preview of the orchestra’s international tour repertory as they prepare to travel through Prague, Vienna and Budapest this spring. Along the way, you will encounter masterworks of the orchestral canon alongside bold contemporary compositions and performances featuring distinguished Bailey School of Music faculty artists and award-winning student soloists.

    Whether interpreting timeless repertoire or premiering new creative voices, the KSU Symphony Orchestra creates performances that are expansive, emotionally resonant and deeply connected to the world around them. This season reflects music’s enduring ability to travel across cultures and generations, carrying traditions and shared human experience wherever it is heard.

    KSU’s Jazz Ensemble I opens the fall semester with its first concert of the year, led by Sam Skelton. The program features the energy and drive of big band jazz, highlighting expressive ensemble playing and spirited improvisation.

    Drawing from swing, big band, fusion, contemporary jazz and original composition, the ensemble performs music that is rhythmically charged, emotionally expressive and deeply rooted in the art of improvisation. Students develop the versatility and creative fluency demanded of today’s musicians through intensive rehearsal, collaboration and performance alongside internationally recognized guest artists and master teachers.

    Whether reimagining classic repertoire or exploring new musical terrain, Jazz Ensemble I creates concerts that pulse with precision and personality. Each performance becomes a conversation -- between musicians, between generations of influence and between the audience and the music unfolding in real time.

      For nearly three decades, the KSU Wind Ensemble has redefined what a contemporary wind ensemble can be, combining technical virtuosity with adventurous programming and an unwavering commitment to new music.

      “America at 250, Vol. 3”
      The KSU Symphony Orchestra continues celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of United States of America with a performance of works by American composers. BSOM faculty artist Samantha Frischling is the featured soloist in Inter Alia, a song cycle for soprano and orchestra written by new BSOM composition faculty, David Kirkland Garner.

      Since its founding in 2004, the KSU Symphony Orchestra has grown into a vibrant musical community where emerging artists engage the great orchestral traditions while shaping the future of symphonic performance. Bringing together musicians from across disciplines and backgrounds, the ensemble approaches each performance with technical excellence, expressive depth and a spirit of discovery.

      This season’s programs journey across landscapes both historical and geographical — from celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary like this one, to a preview of the orchestra’s international tour repertory as they prepare to travel through Prague, Vienna and Budapest this spring. Along the way, you will encounter masterworks of the orchestral canon alongside bold contemporary compositions and performances featuring distinguished Bailey School of Music faculty artists and award-winning student soloists.

      Whether interpreting timeless repertoire or premiering new creative voices, the KSU Symphony Orchestra creates performances that are expansive, emotionally resonant and deeply connected to the world around them. This season reflects music’s enduring ability to travel across cultures and generations, carrying traditions and shared human experience wherever it is heard.

    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.

    Department of Theatre & Performance Studies Presents: TIDA featuring Mary Prescott
    8:00pm

    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
    Mathematics Colloquium Series
    2:00pm

    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.

    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.

    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
    Georgia Politics Speaker Series: Representative Akbar Ali
    1:00pm

    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
    Discrete Mathematics Seminar
    2:00pm

    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.

    Branches Etched Across the Sky
    7:30pm

    Onyx Theater

    In a season shaped by stories that branch across generations, identities and lived experience, Branches Etched Across the Sky offers a deeply moving exploration of family, illness, loss and the fragile beauty of human resilience. Written by acclaimed Atlanta playwright and artist Addae Moon and directed by Marlon Andrew Burnley, this production marks only the second staging of the work worldwide.

    Blending emotional intimacy with theatrical imagination, the play moves between reality and memory, tracing the ways families hold one another through uncertainty and change. As characters navigate grief, care and the unknowable spaces between them, imagination becomes not an escape from hardship, but a way of enduring it.

    Richly human and visually evocative, Branches Etched Across the Sky reflects the spirit of KSU Theatre and Performance Studies’ milestone season: stories that stretch outward, intertwine unexpectedly and reveal the unseen connections that shape our lives.

    Please be advised: This performance contains mature content and may not be suitable for all audiences.

    In a season shaped by stories that branch across generations, identities and lived experience, Branches Etched Across the Sky offers a deeply moving exploration of family, illness, loss and the fragile beauty of human resilience. Written by acclaimed Atlanta playwright and artist Addae Moon and directed by Marlon Andrew Burnley, this production marks only the second staging of the work worldwide.

    Blending emotional intimacy with theatrical imagination, the play moves between reality and memory, tracing the ways families hold one another through uncertainty and change. As characters navigate grief, care and the unknowable spaces between them, imagination becomes not an escape from hardship, but a way of enduring it.

    Richly human and visually evocative, Branches Etched Across the Sky reflects the spirit of KSU Theatre and Performance Studies’ milestone season: stories that stretch outward, intertwine unexpectedly and reveal the unseen connections that shape our lives.

    Title: "The Value of Modeling Enrollment Dynamics in School District Design"

    Description: How can school districts plan as student enrollment changes over time? This talk explores the value of incorporating multi-year enrollment projections and uncertainty into optimization models that support long-term school district design decisions.

    Research Abstract: Public school district design decisions, such as opening and closing schools and determining attendance boundaries, are long-term commitments that are difficult to reverse. Yet, student enrollment levels shift from year to year, and enrollment shifts are inherently uncertain. Large enrollment shifts can cause overcrowding or underutilization. Over the years, advances in optimization modeling have significantly improved decision-making in school district design, yet current practice typically relies on static enrollment estimates or, infrequently, deterministic multi-year projections. A natural question arises: what are the costs and benefits of further advancing school district design optimization by explicitly modeling uncertainty? Informed by school district practices, we develop a framework to explore this question. We formulate a series of optimization models whose treatment of enrollment dynamics progressively increases in sophistication from static point estimates to deterministic projections to probabilistic scenarios. We compare these approaches via a comprehensive computational study with district geographies and enrollment trajectories derived from historical data across a range of district sizes, locales, and enrollment trends. Given the nature of enrollment dynamics and the timeframe of design decisions, incorporating multi-year deterministic projections tends to consistently produce large benefits, with relatively limited additional gains from including probabilistic scenarios concentrated primarily in districts experiencing enrollment growth. Growing districts with sufficient resources can use stochastic optimization to alleviate the negative educational and financial impacts of overcrowding by incorporating uncertainty through a modest set of scenarios. For districts facing enrollment declines, deriving marginal value from stochastic optimization requires sophisticated probabilistic scenario generation beyond observed practical capabilities. If budgetary limitations prevent investing in the level of technical expertise required for stochastic modeling, as is likely for districts with declining enrollment, incorporating standard deterministic projections (which districts periodically generate for general planning purposes) can provide substantial improvements over a typical static approach.

    Mathematics Colloquium Series

    Speaker: Dr. Krystal Taylor, The Ohio State University
    Title: “Fractals and the Buffon Circle Problem”

    Abstract: Fractal sets arise naturally when classical notions of length, area, and smoothness are no longer adequate. A central theme in geometric measure theory is to understand how the dimension and geometry of a fractal set are reflected in its projections. Even some of the simplest questions of this type lead to surprisingly difficult problems connecting geometric measure theory with harmonic analysis, combinatorics, and number theory.

     

    One classical example is the Favard length problem, also known as Buffon's needle problem. Given a planar set, its Favard length is the average length of its orthogonal projections. A theorem of Besicovitch implies that a purely unrectifiable set of finite length has Favard length zero. For self-similar sets obtained as limits of finite Cantor constructions, however, a much more quantitative question remains: how quickly does the Favard length of the finite approximations tend to zero? Despite the simple formulation, determining the correct decay rate remains a major open problem.

     

    I will describe the geometry behind the classical problem, some of the main ideas that have led to progress, and what happens when linear projections are replaced by nonlinear families. This leads naturally to a nonlinear analogue of Buffon's needle problem—a Buffon circle problem—and to new questions about unions of circles, nonlinear projections, and the geometry of fractal sets. I will discuss recent results in this direction and the new phenomena that appear when lines are replaced by curves.

    Branches Etched Across the Sky
    7:30pm

    Onyx Theater

    In a season shaped by stories that branch across generations, identities and lived experience, Branches Etched Across the Sky offers a deeply moving exploration of family, illness, loss and the fragile beauty of human resilience. Written by acclaimed Atlanta playwright and artist Addae Moon and directed by Marlon Andrew Burnley, this production marks only the second staging of the work worldwide.

    Blending emotional intimacy with theatrical imagination, the play moves between reality and memory, tracing the ways families hold one another through uncertainty and change. As characters navigate grief, care and the unknowable spaces between them, imagination becomes not an escape from hardship, but a way of enduring it.

    Richly human and visually evocative, Branches Etched Across the Sky reflects the spirit of KSU Theatre and Performance Studies’ milestone season: stories that stretch outward, intertwine unexpectedly and reveal the unseen connections that shape our lives.

    Please be advised: This performance contains mature content and may not be suitable for all audiences.

    “America at 250, Vol. 2: A Tanglewood Reunion”
    The KSU Symphony Orchestra continues celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of United States of America with a performance featuring works by two major composers associated with the Tanglewood Music Center: Copland and Bernstein. BSOM faculty artist Leonardo Lopes is the featured soloist in a double bass concerto by one of the founders of Tanglewood – and Bernstein’s primary conducting teacher – Serge Koussevitzky.

    Since its founding in 2004, the KSU Symphony Orchestra has grown into a vibrant musical community where emerging artists engage the great orchestral traditions while shaping the future of symphonic performance. Bringing together musicians from across disciplines and backgrounds, the ensemble approaches each performance with technical excellence, expressive depth and a spirit of discovery.

    This season’s programs journey across landscapes both historical and geographical — from celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary like this one, to a preview of the orchestra’s international tour repertory as they prepare to travel through Prague, Vienna and Budapest this spring. Along the way, you will encounter masterworks of the orchestral canon alongside bold contemporary compositions and performances featuring distinguished Bailey School of Music faculty artists and award-winning student soloists.

    Whether interpreting timeless repertoire or premiering new creative voices, the KSU Symphony Orchestra creates performances that are expansive, emotionally resonant and deeply connected to the world around them. This season reflects music’s enduring ability to travel across cultures and generations, carrying traditions and shared human experience wherever it is heard.

    KSU’s Jazz Ensemble I opens the fall semester with its first concert of the year, led by Sam Skelton. The program features the energy and drive of big band jazz, highlighting expressive ensemble playing and spirited improvisation.

    Jazz lives in the space between structure and spontaneity; in the split-second decisions, fearless collaboration and unmistakable energy of artists creating in the moment. At the Bailey School of Music, Jazz Ensemble I brings that spirit to life through performances that honor the rich traditions of jazz while embracing its constant evolution.

    Drawing from swing, big band, fusion, contemporary jazz and original composition, the ensemble performs music that is rhythmically charged, emotionally expressive and deeply rooted in the art of improvisation. Students develop the versatility and creative fluency demanded of today’s musicians through intensive rehearsal, collaboration and performance alongside internationally recognized guest artists and master teachers.

    Whether reimagining classic repertoire or exploring new musical terrain, Jazz Ensemble I creates concerts that pulse with precision and personality. Each performance becomes a conversation -- between musicians, between generations of influence and between the audience and the music unfolding in real time.

    Discrete Mathematics Seminar
    Discrete Mathematics Seminar
    2:00pm

    Speaker: Zoe Wellner, Arizona State
    Title: “The topology connecting graph colorings, graph matchings, and discrete geometry”
    Abstract: The classical Borsuk--Ulam theorem states that for any continuous map from the sphere to Euclidean space, $f\colon S^d\to \mathbb{R}^d$, there is a pair of antipodal points that are identified, so $f(x)=f(-x)$. Through a generalization of this theorem, we provide a new proof of topological Hall's theorem that relates directly to chromatic number bounds and Radon's theorem in discrete geometry. By tying these results together, we can provide more structural insights to the combinatorial structures.

     

    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.

    The Deal Behind the Data
    The Deal Behind the Data
    6:30pm

    How real estate professionals use comps to understand the market, and the AI-era tools that read them

    A two-day event

    Day 1

    Ever wondered how real estate pros actually know what a building is worth? Join REES, Franklin Street, and CompStak for the first night of our two-part series.

    We'll cover what a comp is, how transaction data gets collected, and how brokers, investors, developers, lenders, and occupiers use it to make real decisions.

    You'll also get an intro to CompStak and how to start building your own market knowledge. Open to all KSU students; no real estate background needed.

    Day 2

    The Deal Behind the Data: Case Study Working Session*

    Description: Night two is hands-on, not a lecture! You'll team up to work through a real comp set and present what the data says about the market, the same exercise analysts run before a deal.

    Came to part one? Perfect. Missed it? Still come.

    Please bring a laptop. Open to all KSU students

    Chick-fil-A is on us for both days!

    Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series
    9:35am

    Speaker: Dr. Stacey Lance, Senior Research Scientist @ Savannah River Ecology Laboratory
    Title: “Full circle in ecology: hopping from behavior to genetics to restoration and back again”
    Abstract: Dr. Stacey Lance, who is a senior research scientist at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) of the University of Georgia, earned her BS from the University of Connecticut and her PhD from the University of Maryland, and she worked as a postdoc at the Smithsonian and visiting assistant professor at Colby College before arriving at SREL. Her talk is a great narrative of her career in biology—including topics such as the restoration of longleaf pine forests and the head-starting of rare gopher frogs.

     

    The Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series focuses on biological topics at the scale of whole organisms, their ecology, and the evolutionary relationships among them. Guest speakers come from universities, governmental agencies, NGOs, zoos, museums, and other institutions. The EEBOB seminar is an opportunity to learn about career paths and research in the biology discipline and for students to engage with professionals in a wide variety of biology careers.

     

    This seminar series consists of a pre-recorded seminar, which will be posted to a playlist the beginning of each week, and a live, virtual Q&A session with the speaker. All are welcome to attend! To be granted access to the live Q&A session, interested attendees should email Dr. Todd Pierson. The live Q&A session will be held each Thursday at 9:35 AM.

    Math Talks Seminar Series
    Math Talks Seminar Series
    1:00pm

    Speaker: Dr. Maheshan Ekanayaka, Kennesaw State University
    Title: "Stereographic Projection and Applications"
    Abstract: In mathematics, Stereographic Projection is a perspective projection that maps 3D objects onto 2D planes, specifically applied to the sphere. By selecting a fixed point on the sphere, known as pole, one can project all other points onto plane through this fixed point. The plane onto which all the points are projected is perpendicular to the diameter passing through the fixed point. Excluding the pole, this projection is a smooth conformal (angle-preserving) function that maps circle on the sphere to circles or lines on the plane. It is believed that ancient Greek used this projection to map the celestial sphere onto the plane so that motions of the stars could be analyzed using the plane geometry. This presentation explores the process of calculating Cartesian coordinates on the plane from the coordinates of a sphere, and vice versa. The discussion begins with the derivation of the Stereographic Projection of the unit circle (S¹) onto the real line using a parametric line equation. Building on this, the formula for the Stereographic Projection of the unit sphere (S²) onto the complex plane is derived. Stereographic Projection finds applications in Cartography, particularly creating maps in navigating Earth due to its angle preserving property. Moreover, it is utilized in Crystallography, Geology, even in the Photography.

    Title: "The elusive world of neutrino interactions"
    Abstract: Currently running and forthcoming precision neutrino oscillation experiments aim to unambiguously determine the neutrino mass ordering, the charge-parity violating phase in the lepton sector and the possible existence of Physics Beyond the Standard Model. To have an understanding of all the effects necessary for the success of these experiments, such as the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), neutrino-nucleus interactions must be modeled in unprecedented detail. My research program takes a significant step towards this high-precision measurement era with a number of experiments. Across all of them, cross sections are reported using neutrino-nucleus and hadron-nucleus data sets from a suite of liquid argon time projection chamber detectors located at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and at CERN. These measurements are used to provide the essential interaction constraints that will enable discovery physics with DUNE.

     

    Light refreshments will be served.

      The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
      The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
      7:30pm

      Onyx Theater

      In a world suspended somewhere between Heaven and Hell, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot transforms one of history’s most infamous figures into the center of a wildly imaginative courtroom trial. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and directed by Jacqueline Springfield, the play blends sharp humor, raw humanity and philosophical inquiry in a theatrical experience that is both irreverent and deeply compassionate.

      Through flashbacks, witness testimonies and surreal interrogations featuring everyone from Mother Teresa and Sigmund Freud to Satan himself, the production wrestles with questions of guilt, forgiveness, free will and the possibility of redemption. Time bends, history collides with contemporary language and sacred figures become startlingly human.

      By turns hilarious, provocative and emotionally piercing, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot reflects the spirit of a season rooted in branching perspectives and difficult questions, inviting audiences to confront not only the fate of Judas, but the complexities of mercy, justice, and human imperfection itself.

      6-Hour Non-Binding Arbitration: An Alternative Path to Dispute Resolution
      6-Hour Non-Binding Arbitration: An Alternative Path to Dispute Resolution
      8:30am

      The Georgia ADR Rules distinguish arbitration from mediation because an arbitrator or arbitration panel renders a decision after hearing an abbreviated version of the evidence.   In non-binding arbitration, either party may demand trial within the specified period. The rules emphasize that arbitration is adjudicative, while mediation is not.

      Practical meaning: non-binding arbitration gives parties a neutral merits-based decision that can promote settlement, narrow issues, or reset expectations, but it normally does not eliminate the right to trial if a party timely rejects or challenges the award under the applicable local rule, court order, or agreement

      For decades, America’s college-for-all agenda has created a no-win choice for high school graduates: take on the risk and expense of college or work a low-wage job. But in an economically-challenged Virginia community, one superintendent is demonstrating the immense power of career-based learning—not as a last-chance resort for some, but as foundational for all. Multiple Choice immerses viewers in the Innovation Center, where students explore diverse careers and master traditional and new-economy skills. Amid political turmoil and tech upheaval, Multiple Choice offers an inspiring vision of kids finding purposeful paths within a community pursuing the goal of prosperity for all.

      Title: "Firm Responses to Employment Quotas: Evidence from Bunching and Policy Implications"

      Description: Do disability hiring quotas achieve their goals? Drawing on evidence from South Korea, this talk explores the benefits and unintended consequences of policies designed to expand employment opportunities for disabled workers.

      Research Abstract: Employment quotas are a prevalent policy to promote hiring of disabled workers, yet they may impose additional costs on firms. Leveraging South Korea’s multi-tiered noncompliance penalty schedule, we use a bunching framework to identify firm responses to employment quota. We find significant but highly heterogeneous bunching across notches and firm wages, demonstrating substantial variation in adjustment costs. We develop a structural model of firm, using bunching elasticities to calibrate firm-side cost parameters. Simulations reveal that while quotas increase disability hiring, aggressive mandates can trigger a contraction in firm scale. Designing quotas to account for firm-side adjustment cost structures can mitigate these distortions.

      The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
      The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
      7:30pm

      Onyx Theater

      In a world suspended somewhere between Heaven and Hell, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot transforms one of history’s most infamous figures into the center of a wildly imaginative courtroom trial. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and directed by Jacqueline Springfield, the play blends sharp humor, raw humanity and philosophical inquiry in a theatrical experience that is both irreverent and deeply compassionate.

      Through flashbacks, witness testimonies and surreal interrogations featuring everyone from Mother Teresa and Sigmund Freud to Satan himself, the production wrestles with questions of guilt, forgiveness, free will and the possibility of redemption. Time bends, history collides with contemporary language and sacred figures become startlingly human.

      By turns hilarious, provocative and emotionally piercing, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot reflects the spirit of a season rooted in branching perspectives and difficult questions, inviting audiences to confront not only the fate of Judas, but the complexities of mercy, justice, and human imperfection itself.

      The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
      7:30pm

      Onyx Theater

      In a world suspended somewhere between Heaven and Hell, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot transforms one of history’s most infamous figures into the center of a wildly imaginative courtroom trial. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and directed by Jacqueline Springfield, the play blends sharp humor, raw humanity and philosophical inquiry in a theatrical experience that is both irreverent and deeply compassionate.

      Through flashbacks, witness testimonies and surreal interrogations featuring everyone from Mother Teresa and Sigmund Freud to Satan himself, the production wrestles with questions of guilt, forgiveness, free will and the possibility of redemption. Time bends, history collides with contemporary language and sacred figures become startlingly human.

      By turns hilarious, provocative and emotionally piercing, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot reflects the spirit of a season rooted in branching perspectives and difficult questions, inviting audiences to confront not only the fate of Judas, but the complexities of mercy, justice, and human imperfection itself.

      AI2: Academic Integrity in the Age of AI

      Event Type: In-person (Kennesaw)

      Facilitator: Laura Howard and Misty Grayer

      While issues of academic integrity have always been part of the higher ed landscape, the emergence of generative and agentic AI has deepened and accelerated anxiety about students cheating on activities and assessments. Research shows that when students expect to succeed in a class, value the class, and see the cost of doing class activities as worth their time and effort, their motivation to succeed and learn increases. This interactive session will explore strategies faculty can use to create and sustain motivation in classes, so that students pursue the goal of learning instead of “getting the A” at any cost.

      The Last Days of Judas Iscariot
      7:30pm

      Onyx Theater

      In a world suspended somewhere between Heaven and Hell, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot transforms one of history’s most infamous figures into the center of a wildly imaginative courtroom trial. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis and directed by Jacqueline Springfield, the play blends sharp humor, raw humanity and philosophical inquiry in a theatrical experience that is both irreverent and deeply compassionate.

      Through flashbacks, witness testimonies and surreal interrogations featuring everyone from Mother Teresa and Sigmund Freud to Satan himself, the production wrestles with questions of guilt, forgiveness, free will and the possibility of redemption. Time bends, history collides with contemporary language and sacred figures become startlingly human.

      By turns hilarious, provocative and emotionally piercing, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot reflects the spirit of a season rooted in branching perspectives and difficult questions, inviting audiences to confront not only the fate of Judas, but the complexities of mercy, justice, and human imperfection itself.

      Symphony Orchestra presents: “America at 250, Vol. 3”

      “America at 250, Vol. 3”


      The KSU Symphony Orchestra continues celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of United States of America with a performance of works by American composers. BSOM faculty artist Samantha Frischling is the featured soloist in Inter Alia, a song cycle for soprano and orchestra written by new BSOM composition faculty, David Kirkland Garner.

      Since its founding in 2004, the KSU Symphony Orchestra has grown into a vibrant musical community where emerging artists engage the great orchestral traditions while shaping the future of symphonic performance. Bringing together musicians from across disciplines and backgrounds, the ensemble approaches each performance with technical excellence, expressive depth and a spirit of discovery.

      This season’s programs journey across landscapes both historical and geographical — from celebrations of America’s 250th anniversary like this one, to a preview of the orchestra’s international tour repertory as they prepare to travel through Prague, Vienna and Budapest this spring. Along the way, you will encounter masterworks of the orchestral canon alongside bold contemporary compositions and performances featuring distinguished Bailey School of Music faculty artists and award-winning student soloists.

      Whether interpreting timeless repertoire or premiering new creative voices, the KSU Symphony Orchestra creates performances that are expansive, emotionally resonant and deeply connected to the world around them. This season reflects music’s enduring ability to travel across cultures and generations, carrying traditions and shared human experience wherever it is heard.
