During my senior
year in high school, a former
student of Kennesaw State allowed me to stay on campus with her for a weekend. I
fell in love with the campus and made it my mission to attend Kennesaw State University. I will graduate from KSU in 2016.� Marika, Class of ‘16

At Kennesaw State, I’ve been able to achieve more than academic success. I
am involved in student life, such as
serving as an ambassador for the African-American Male Initiative organization. Students have to realize that college
is more
than books. It is also student development. Get involved!” - Tyrique, Class of ‘15
