    Triplets each find their own path to success at Kennesaw State

    June 12, 2025

    Three sisters born minutes apart, but vastly different in terms of interests and career goals, thought about going separate ways for college. But in the end, they found that Kennesaw State University fit all their needs. “We did a plethora of research to find a school that’s right for us,” said Jessica Okafor, triplet to Angela and Benita. “There was always at least one missing piece in the schools that we looked through, until we found KSU. We saw that KSU had everything we had interest in, and when we did the tours, the open house, the orientation, I was blown away by how beautiful the school was. I saw my future in just a few seconds.”

    Honors biology student makes most of KSU experience

    May 02, 2025

    Some days it’s pre-dawn dark when Maya Patel arrives on campus, and it’s post-dusk dark when she heads home. The Kennesaw State University senior takes a full course load, belongs to several organizations, serves in multiple leadership roles, conducts research and carries a 4.0 grade-point average in biology. She will graduate this week having packed four years of college life into just three years and having lost none of her enthusiasm.

  • Imani Adenuga

    Chemistry student engaged in sustainable catalyst research through Kennesaw State's First-Year Scholars program

    April 08, 2025

    Imani Adenuga can’t recall the exact moment science grabbed her by the heart, but she has always been inquisitive in nature, seeking knowledge no matter the subject area. “I always want to know the why,” said Adenuga, who studies chemistry in the College of Science and Mathematics. “I think that just goes with science—figuring out the why of things or what makes things happen.” The First-Year Scholar dove into research immediately upon arrival at KSU last fall, landing in the lab of chemistry professor Daniela Tapu where she took on a project involving sustainable catalysts. It constituted a huge leap for a freshman, given that the project is grounded in organic chemistry, a critical class for chemistry majors that she hasn’t taken yet.
