Welcome to ArtsKSU!
As the new Dean of the Geer College of the Arts, I am honored to join this vibrant community and excited to begin a new academic year filled with creativity, passion and purpose.
Here, at Kennesaw State University’s Geer College of the Arts, our highly accomplished faculty and professional staff prepare students for success in a complex global society. We bring together bold thinkers, passionate creators and boundary-pushing performers from the School of Art and Design, Department of Dance, Bailey School of Music, and Department of Theatre and Performance Studies.
Our artistic community embraces experimentation, critical thinking and creative risk-taking. Whether on stage, in the studio, or within the community, our students gain hands-on experiences in cutting-edge facilities that shape their creative practice and broaden their worldviews.

They perform, exhibit, conduct research with faculty, travel abroad, and collaborate with leading arts organizations. These experiences help them grow as artists, scholars, storytellers and changemakers.
Whether you are a returning supporter or a first-time visitor, we hope you will experience
the energy that makes our college such a vital part of the KSU community and the cultural
fabric of Metro Atlanta. I welcome you to join us for one of our upcoming events on campus and discover what it looks like when innovation meets inspiration.
