Jaclyn is a cognitive neuroscientist and licensed occupational therapist. Her research evaluates adolescents and young adults with sports-related concussion (SRC) using behavioral measures and neuroimaging techniques, like electroencephalography (EEG), functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Specifically, Jaclyn seeks to better understand the neural physiology of head injury, create innovative behavioral measures for return-to-play evaluations, such as virtual reality assessment tools, and develop rehabilitation interventions that facilitate expedited and safe return to meaningful occupations, like sports and recreation. Outside of work, Jaclyn’s meaningful occupations include: playing and watching sports, spending time with friends and family, catering to her dog and cat, and enjoying outdoor activities in this beautiful state of Colorado.

Dr. Dafina-Lazarus (D-L) Stewart (he and they) is professor in the School of Education and Co-Coordinator of Student Affairs in Higher Education and affiliated faculty in the Center for Women’s Studies and Gender Research at Colorado State University. Over the course of his 18-year faculty career, he has focused most intently on the history and philosophy of higher education, as well as institutional systems and structures that affect the postsecondary experiences, growth and development, as well as success of racially minoritized and queer and trans* students. D-L examines these topics through intersectional, critical, and poststructural frameworks that incorporate ableism, religious hegemony, and classism alongside racism, patriarchy, as well as anti-queer/trans antagonism. In addition to over 50 journal publications and book chapters, D-L is an author or editor of four books, most recently, Black Collegians’ Experiences in U.S. Northern Private Colleges: A Narrative History, 1945-1965 (Palgrave, 2017) and is co-editor with Elisa Abes and Susan R. Jones of a forthcoming text, Rethinking College Student Development Theory Using Critical Frameworks.

I was born in Denver Colorado and raised in Aurora by my mother Karen Porter. Her and my brother AJ helped guided me in my journey from high school at Aurora Central all the way to college. I decided to go to CSU for its welcoming spirit and it’s at home feeling. At CSU I majored in human development and family studies. I started my clothing line Bot-Man April 11, 2017 in my freshman year dorm room. I aspire after graduate school to be become a psychotherapist helping at adolescents who are minorities or at risk of being in the juvenile system. With hard work and determination I will be graduating from CSU in only three years in May of 2019. You can learn more about all of our amazing speakers and get your tickets for TEDxCSU at csutix.com
