She’ll stand as an example of the Peach State Bridges to the Doctorate program’s effectiveness, having earned her Master of Science in Integrative Biology (MSIB) and acceptance into a Ph.D. program. Ford, Jojo Croffie, and Lindsey Knight all earned their MSIB degrees, and thanks to enrichment through the Peach State Bridges to the Doctorate program, each will start a Ph.D. in the fall.1782133835https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/ksu-master-graduates-benefit-nih-funded-bridge-program.phpcollege of science and mathematicsgraduate collegestudent storiesfeatured storiesksu featured storiesnews releaseshttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/csm-260218-april-ford-0111-thumbnail.jpghttps://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpgKatelyn Dockery remembers being pre-school age, sitting in her father’s office after school, coloring on a white board with markers. Her twin sister Taylor recalls going to Kennesaw State University basketball games and getting her face painted in the lobby at VyStar Arena. Their father, KSU Faculty Director of General Education in KSU’s Office of Academic Affairs Chris Dockery, remembers it all — basketball games, afternoons spent in his office with his daughters, taking them to lunch at The Commons, among other activities. And 21 years later, the Dockery family has cemented its legacy at KSU, with a pair of new graduates.1781786809https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/twins-who-grew-up-at-ksu-graduate-nurses.phpwellstar college of health and human servicesfeatured storiesksu featured storiesnews releaseshttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/dockery-3-thumbnail.jpghttps://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpgWhat began as a childhood spent working on cars with his father and older brother has led Matthew Azaroff to one of the nation’s premier research institutions.

Sometimes, they leave biological ones too. Saloni Patel, a first-year psychology major at Kennesaw State University, is studying how adverse childhood experiences — commonly known as ACEs — leave a measurable biological mark that can affect how we think, focus, and learn. Her research examines whether inflammation triggered by early-life stress contributes to the cognitive struggles some students face in the classroom.1781614076https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/study-explores-how-childhood-trauma-affects-body-and-mind.phpcollege of humanities and social sciencesstudent storiesfeatured storiesksu featured storiesnews releaseshttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/saloni-patel-thumbnail.jpghttps://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpgKennesaw State University’s Clarice C. and Leland H.
