Led by Lori Furbush and Alison Hite
This presentation will focus on metacognition in college classes. We will discuss ways to help students recognize the learning strategies they are using, evaluate whether those strategies are working, and adjust when needed. The session will also explore practical approaches instructors can use to encourage reflection, planning, monitoring, and flexibility so students can become more intentional and effective learners. -

Noon — 1:00 PMDemystifying Quantum Computing
Led by Xiuping Tao, Associate Professor, Department of Computer Science and Cybersecurity
Quantum computing is no longer a distant theoretical concept confined to physics labs; it is rapidly becoming a transformative force across the global economy. As our university prepares to launch its first official course in the field (CSCI 4020) in Fall 2026, this session provides faculty and staff with a foundational, "low-barrier" introduction to the quantum landscape. This talk is specifically designed for a non-specialist audience, requiring no prior background in advanced mathematics or physics.
