Student Organizations

Kennesaw State supports and encourages participation in co-curricular activities as an integral part of your total education. The decision is yours - to get a degree or an education. Any active student involved in student groups or volunteering in the community can attest to the learning acquired and the satisfaction experienced through involvement. By combining the skills you develop through co-curricular involvement and the knowledge gained in the classroom, you will be much better prepared in enjoying college, getting that job and developing your total potential.

The benefits are many: a sense of achievement, self development and growth, leadership skills and values, such as problem solving, communication, and organization. You can expand your circle of friends, better balance your academic life and just enjoy yourself. For more information on KSU Student Life - go to http://studentlife.kennesaw.edu/
