But not Mattie Frascella. She has spent the last four years on the campus of Kennesaw State University sharing classrooms and walking hallways with students young enough to be her grandchildren while earning her first degree after a longtime career in patient advocacy and motherhood. This May, just a few weeks after her 63rd birthday, Frascella will walk across the stage to receive her Bachelor of Arts in English with minors in professional writing and language and literary studies from the Norman J.

Nelson’s journey has seen him serving in the Army National Guard, then earning an associate degree in biology from Georgia Military College before arriving at Kennesaw State University in 2022. All the while, he never could shake the idea of studying dance and decided to dive headlong into doing just that. Next week, he’ll graduate with his Bachelor of Arts in Dance with a concentration in Modern Dance from the Robert S. Geer College of the Arts, culminating one journey and commencing another. 1778071738https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/dance-major-makes-most-of-his-ksu-journey.phphonors collegecollege of the artsstudent storiesfeatured storiesksu featured storiesnews releaseshttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/deontae-nelson-0016-thumbnail.jpeghttps://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpgAs Ella Goode walks across the commencement stage this month, she will do so as the Kennesaw State University President’s Award of Distinction honoree — the university’s highest undergraduate honor.

The weeks spent waiting for answers can feel like an eternity. But more importantly, a faster diagnosis means a treatment plan can begin sooner. Kennesaw State University student Preston Brantley is trying to reduce the lengthy wait, typically weeks, sometimes even months, that patients spend waiting for a cancer diagnosis. He is developing an artificial intelligence tool designed to help pathologists detect cancer cells more quickly and efficiently.1777899049https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/ksu-student-using-ai-speed-up-breast-cancer-detection.phphonors collegecollege of engineering and engineering technologywellstar college of health and human servicesoffice of researchstudent storiesfeatured storiesksu featured storiesnews releaseshttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/wchhs-260410-preston-brantley-my-0089-thumbnail.jpghttps://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpg
