Recently, the Kennesaw State University assistant professor of illustration and sequential art helped an Emory University researcher illustrate the occurrence of opioid-related overdoses in Atlanta’s Little Five Points neighborhood.

Kennesaw State architecture, engineering students reimagine Asheville's devastated River Arts District
April 14, 2025
Seeking refuge in Savannah, Georgia, Caelyn Summers sat anxiously in her childhood home last September while Hurricane Helene rumbled across the state before turning north toward the Blue Ridge Mountains. One of the deadliest storms in two decades, the Category 4 hurricane killed more than 200 people and left Summers without power for nearly four days. Among the images that stood out the most were those of Asheville, North Carolina, where she spent many family vacations over the years. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she leapt at the opportunity to be one of about two dozen KSU students to make the four-hour drive to Asheville in January to survey Helene damage and meet with community members to discuss recovery efforts.
