PechaKucha Night at KSU

KENNESAW, Ga. | Nov 20, 2024

The Office of Research hosted the inaugural PechaKucha Night at KSU in November 2021 during Research Week at KSU to recognize the outstanding research and scholarship conducted by faculty.

PechaKucha, which means chit-chat in Japanese, is a storytelling-type event where the presenter shares 20 slides for 20 seconds per slide, guided primarily by graphics. Nine presenters, one representing each of the academic colleges, shared their research through this unique format.

The tradition continued into 2024, as the Office of Research hosted its fourth annual PechaKucha Night. Two awards were presented based on audience votes. The award for best presentation was given to Andrea Knowlton and the award for best demonstration was given to Dr. Bobin Deng and Dr. Taeyeong Choi.
