Their mission is to “educate, inspire, and empower others to make the swap to sustainability through fashion-focused experiential learning opportunities, inclusive programs, and educational events that promote environmental and social equity in our community.” This organization gives Owls the chance to swap gently worn items for new-to-you wardrobe additions.

This is not a memoir that even attempts to be true, but when the coma drugs cloud your memory, you must make the story your own. Will Carter's memoir, Getting Better, is Will's story of recovery after being in a car accident, suffering a brain injury.

    More info on Getting Better can be found here: https://bookshop.org/.../getting-better-william.../21591011

    The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation (PIN) offers the Community Research Grant Program to support teams of university researchers and local governments of any size across Georgia and to expand new partnerships across the southeast U.S. The program provides up to $100,000 per project, program management, access to the Partnership’s Summer Internship Program and a network of peers. Alumni cities and counties have successfully implemented their projects and garnered additional funding and technical assistance to continue their project beyond the program period, continuing to serve their residents and meet their community’s goals. They have also garnered national recognition for their projects and served as a model for other communities in addressing similar problems. Projects are focused on addressing a community problem with applied research involving smart technology and/or civic innovation.

     

    In preparation for the next proposal window (2/1/25 through 5/15/25), the Community Research Grant Manager, Katie O’Connor, is coming to Kennesaw State to speak about the program and answer questions. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared to discuss their idea and to bring three copies of a one-page summary of their research project. Research development staff and the AVP of Economic Development, Tyler Reinagel, will also attend to help provide guidance on proposal preparation. Refreshments will be provided.

    Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series
    Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series
    12:30pm

    Speaker: Dr. Sean Graham, Author of “Kennesaw: Natural History of a Southern Mountain”
    Title: “Kennesaw: Natural History of a Southern Mountain”
    Abstract: Dr. Sean Graham is originally from the Atlanta area and has his formal education as a herpetologist—receiving his PhD from Auburn University before working as an assistant professor and curator at Sul Ross University. More recently, Dr. Graham has made a name for himself as an author of popular press science literature. In 2018, he published American Snakes—a truly fantastic account full of fascinating and funny stories from the field. Just this month, he followed this work with the publication of North American DesertsBut in between, he wrote a wonderful account of the natural history of a more local landmark. In this seminar, Dr. Graham teaches us about his book by the same name and describes some of the many features that make Kennesaw Mountain interesting—from metamorphic rocks to secretive salamanders and migratory warblers.

     

    The Ecology, Evolution, Behavior, & Organismal Biology (EEBOB) seminar series focuses on biological topics at whole-organism and higher scales of organization. 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 at 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 can email Dr. Todd Pierson. The live Q&A session will be held each Thursday at 12:30 PM.

    Strategic Workshop: Navigating Family Dynamics During the Generational Transition Process for Family Businesses
    Strategic Workshop: Navigating Family Dynamics During the Generational Transition Process for Family Businesses
    12:00pm
    at Cox Family Enterprise Center

    Family businesses are one of the oldest types of commercial organizations representing the largest number of economic ventures world-wide. The success and sustainability of family businesses is often related to the ability to transfer leadership and ownership to a successor generation.

    This process is often impacted by internal conflict among family members, poor communication, and murky expectations, causing many businesses to fail after the first generation. However, simultaneously engaging family dynamics along with a business and legal assessment, evaluation, and implementation process leads to ideal outcomes to help family businesses succeed for generations to come.

    Join John Martin and Morgan Weatherly, PhD, LPC of Treebank Legal as they guide family business leaders in this Strategic Workshop. Participants will:

    • Learn key components of the legal process for succession planning.
    • Understand the process of identifying and navigating common family dynamics and communication strategies to aid in the process.
    • Be provided with resources for how to begin thinking about succession planning.

    In A Pedagogy of Kindness, Cate Denial argues that we can reshape and recreate our pedagogy through a systemic and vigorous application of kindness (not, she is clear to say, of niceness) to all strata of our classes: interactions with our students and each other, syllabus, lesson construction, class management, assessment, and our own growth as pedagogues, providing spaces for us all to thrive. The first 15 book chat registrants recieve a free copy of the book. Our chat will be a guided discussion with plenty of time for questions, discussion, and engagement. A short "pre-work" prepatory assignment will be sent out a a few days before the chat.

    Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar
    Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar
    1:00pm

    Speaker: Samantha Sandberg-Clark, The Ohio State University
    Title: “Arithmetic Progressions in Fractal Sets of Sufficient Thickness ”
    Abstract: We consider the conditions required on a set that guarantee it contains arithmetic progressions. Szemeredi proved the existence of arithmetic progressions in subsets of the natural numbers with positive upper density. In the fractal setting, it is known by Maga and Keleti that full Hausdorff dimension is not enough to guarantee the existence of a 3-term arithmetic progression in subsets of d-dimensional Euclidean space; however, it turns out that Fourier decay coupled with nearly full Hausdorff dimension is sufficient for the existence of arithmetic progressions, as shown by Laba and Pramanik. In this talk, we consider another notion of size: Newhouse thickness. It is known that thickness larger than 1 is enough in the real line to guarantee the existence of a 3-term arithmetic progression. In higher dimensions, Yavicoli showed that it takes thickness larger than 10^8, along with some additional assumptions, to guarantee a 3-point configuration. We give the first result in higher dimensions showing the existence of 3-term arithmetic progressions in sets of thickness larger than 2/(1-2r), where r is a constant dependent on the set.

    Mathematics Colloquium seminar series
    Mathematics Colloquium seminar series
    2:30pm
    at Mathematics Building, D-237

    Speaker: Dr. Edna Jones, Tulane University

    Title: “Apollonian circle packings, integers, and sphere packings”

    Abstract: Apollonian circle packings are certain circle configurations in which the circles do not intersect but may be tangent to each other. What do Apollonian circle packings have to do with integers? Under certain conditions, each circle in an Apollonian circle packing has a bend (1/radius) that is an integer! When all the bends are integral, which integers appear as bends? It turns out that this is a hard question to answer. However, it is easier to answer a similar question for analogous higher-dimensional sphere packings.

     

    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.

     

    This seminar will be held in person.

    • Day 2 - Architecture, Construction, and Structural Design and Engineering
