Parent and Family Programs
Providing support to your KSU Student can take a village!
Information is added within the Owl Family Hub frequently to ensure you have the support you need as you support your student.
Below are campus resources and services available to help support your student in and out of the classroom, as well as resources from on and off campus to help parents and families navigate the territory of supporting college student success.
Of course, Parent & Family Programs is here to provide advice, guidance, and support to parents and families of KSU students. Always feel free to reach out: family@kennesaw.edu. I'm here to help!
