  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.

  Title: “Macroevolutionary perspectives on speciation and innovation in fishes”

Much of Sam's work involves some of the most interesting and diverse fishes in the world—the cichlids. Before arriving at Texas State University, Sam earned his undergraduate degree from Cal State Sacramento, his PhD from the University of Tennessee Knoxville, and worked as a postdoc at the University of Michigan. His presentation includes great examples of how to combine basic natural history, cutting-edge genomic methods, and new statistical frameworks to learn about the world around us.

   

  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.

A short "pre-work" prepatory assignment will be sent out a a few days before the chat.

  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.

   

  The Analysis and Applied Mathematics (AAM) Seminar is intended for Kennesaw State faculty working in the various areas of analysis and applied 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.

   

  This seminar will be held virtually.

  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.

Forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler.

  Increasing Student Engagement in Online Classes

  11:00am

  Increasing Student Engagement in Online Classes

  Facilitator: Laura Howard

  Faculty and students may struggle with engagement in online classes and wonder what they can do to increase it. Centering Felten and Lambert's (2020) ideas about relationship-rich education, this workshop explores how to increase student engagement in online classes by building relationships with and among students. At the core of building relationships in this context is "humanizing" the online classroom to make all students feel supported (Pacansky-Brock et al, 2020) . Workshop participants will explore, discuss, and reflect on relationship-rich education and humanizing in the online classroom context. Drawing on these concepts, participants will develop ways to engage students online, while learning more about evidence-based strategies that cultivate student success.
