The Spring Visiting Writers Series for April will feature poet and essayist Kiki Petrosino. 

Petrosino is the author of four books of poetry: White Blood: a Lyric of Virginia (2020), Witch Wife (2017), Hymn for the Black Terrific (2013) and Fort Red Border (2009), all from Sarabande Books. She holds graduate degrees from the University of Chicago and the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop. Her poems and essays have appeared in Poetry, Best American Poetry, The Nation, The New York Times, FENCE, Gulf Coast, Jubilat, Tin House and online at Ploughshares. She teaches at the University of Virginia as a professor of poetry. Petrosino is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, a Fellowship in Creative Writing from the National Endowment for the Arts and an Al Smith Fellowship Award from the Kentucky Arts Council.

Her reading will be available via Zoom, beginning at 6 p.m.

This year's Kenneth R. Holder Memorial Lecture will feature Daniel Willingham, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia.

Willingham will discuss “Digital Technology and the Future of Education.” He writes the “Ask the Cognitive Scientist” column for American Educator Magazine, and is the author of Why Don't Students Like School?, When Can You Trust the Experts?, Raising Kids Who Read, and The Reading Mind. His writing on education has appeared in 16 languages. In 2017, Willingham was appointed by President Obama to serve as a member of the National Board for Education Sciences. He earned his B.A. from Duke University and his Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Harvard University.

Maria Becker, assistant professor of physics, has been selected to present this year’s Faculty Scholarship Lecture. This annual lecture recognizes and celebrates the scholarship in our own campus community. Full-time faculty were invited to nominate a colleague or self-nominate for the award with the final selection made by members of the Forum Committee.

Becker's lecture, “Why you’ll never meet Schrödinger’s Cat,” will provide an inside look into her work in quantum decoherence. She described her lecture as follows:

Schrödinger’s cat is simultaneously dead and alive. This type of quantum phenomenon is permitted by Mother Nature, however, we never observe cats exhibiting this behavior. Why not? Why don’t we observe the quantum behavior of Mother Nature in our everyday lives? A possible answer to this open question is a process called decoherence. This same process also makes it very difficult to increase the size of quantum computers. Our research program is designed to investigate decoherence. Student researchers are developing experiments that use acoustic analogues, light-matter interactions, and quantum computing. Our goals are to develop accessible platforms for studying quantum behavior and gain new insight into decoherence.

Becker most recently was awarded the Nebraska EPSCoR First Award (the first NWU professor to win this honor), which came with a $25,000 prize for her continued research in quantum decoherence.

The Faculty Scholarship Lecture will be available via Zoom:  https://nebrwesleyan.zoom.us/j/7321766849

The annual Student Research Symposium is an opportunity for all members of the Nebraska Wesleyan community to experience the research and creative endeavors that are an integral part of the university's Archway Curriculum.

This year's student presentations will be held both virtually and in person. A complete presentation schedule is available at https://nebrwesleyan.digication.com/2021-spring-research-symposium/home

Classes will not be held on Wednesday, April 28 to allow the campus community to attend the day's presentations.
