    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.

      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.

    Morgan Concert Hall

    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.

      “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.

    Event Type: Virtual

    Facilitator: Tris Utschig & Tanja Link

    A quality learning environment is more than a welcoming classroom—it is an intentionally designed space where students feel respected, supported, challenged, and empowered to learn. In this interactive workshop, we will examine characteristics of high-quality learning environments, explore practical strategies that foster belonging, engagement, and student success, and reflect on how classroom practices can create opportunities for every student to participate and grow. Participants will leave with a broader framework for designing supportive learning environments and with one or more strategies they can implement in their own courses.

    OSHA 10 General Industry training
    7:45am

    The Outreach Training Program is a voluntary program. Its purpose is to promote workplace safety and health and to make workers more knowledgeable about workplace hazards and their rights. Outreach training does not fulfill the training requirements found in OSHA standards. Employers are responsible for providing additional training for their workers on specific hazards of their job as noted in many OSHA standards. The OSHA Outreach Training Program provides training on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of workplace hazards. Outreach classes also provide overview information regarding OSHA, including workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint.

    Program Benefits

    • Promotes safety culture through peer training.
    • Training is intended to be participatory, using hands-on activities.
    • Trainers are able to tailor the training topics based on specific needs of their audience.
    • Outreach training content includes hazard recognition and avoidance, workers' rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint; it emphasizes the value of safety and health to workers, including young workers.

    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.

    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.

    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
    EFQA Research Seminar Series with Jaejin Lee
    1:00pm

    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.

    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
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Jazz Ensemble I
    Jazz Ensemble I
    8:00pm

    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.

    Transforming Learning with the Process Education Framework

    Event type: Webinar (Online)

    Facilitator: Tris Utschig

    What helps learners move beyond traditional approaches toward becoming more capable, self-directed learners? The Process Education Framework provides a practical model for helping learners develop through a cycle of purposeful performance, feedback and reflection, and growth. In this interactive session, we will explore key elements of the framework, experience several Process Education tools and practices, and consider how these approaches can be applied in their own teaching. Participants will leave with a useful framework for thinking about learning and development, along with practical ideas they can adapt to their courses.
