Hoeh is helping develop an AI-powered augmented reality navigation system that lets users ask for directions and guides them through complex indoor spaces. The technology could improve accessibility for people with cognitive disabilities while also helping first responders navigate unfamiliar buildings more quickly.1789134406https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/software-engineering-student-develops-ai-powered-navigation.phpcollege of computing and software engineeringstudent storiesfeatured storiesksu featured storiesnews releaseshttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/gen-250328-marietta-campus-jp-0038-thumbnail.jpghttps://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpgKennesaw State University’s Dr. Bobbie Bailey School of Music and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) are joining forces to create new opportunities for the next generation of musicians in Metro Atlanta. Beginning this fall, the educational partnership will connect KSU music students with professional musicians through masterclasses, performance opportunities and access to ASO concerts — bringing students closer to the artistry, mentorship and professional experiences that define a career on the stage.1789066500https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/bailey-school-music-education-partnership-atlanta-symphony.phpcollege of the artsfeatured storiesksu featured storiesnews releaseshttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/gca-251104-nathan-nabb-my-1247-thumbnail.jpghttps://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpgFew undergraduates can add “lead author in a peer-reviewed journal” to their list of accomplishments. Kennesaw State University student and Harry S. Truman Scholarship finalist Allisa George is one of them. George, an Honors student double majoring in public health and biology, is the first author of a National Institutes of Health-funded study examining alcohol and mental health among women in Uganda recently published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. 1789046774https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/student-publishes-study-alcohol-impact-ugandan-women.phphonors collegecollege of science and mathematicswellstar college of health and human servicesoffice of researchstudent storiesfeatured storiesksu featured storiesnews releaseshttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/csm-250320-allisa-george-my-0251m-thumbnail.jpghttps://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpgWatching his grandfather lose mobility after a traumatic accident gave Kennesaw State University student Kai Clifford a firsthand look at how difficult everyday movement can become.

At Kennesaw State University, one student is examining whether this prolonged use can also impact their mental health. Through KSU’s First-Year Scholars Program, Chance Lundy, a Keeping Sights Upward Journey Honors College student, studied the relationship between frequent social media use and suicidal ideation among adolescents. 1788440805https://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/2026/ksu-student-explores-link-social-media-mental-health.phphonors collegestudent affairsoffice of researchstudent storiesfeatured storiesksu featured storiesnews releaseshttps://www.kennesaw.edu/news/stories/images/2026/cell-phone-unsplash-thumbnail.jpghttps://webstatic.kennesaw.edu/_resources/images/placeholders/1920x500.jpgCaitlyn Garrett has sampled both experimental and theoretical physics in her time at Kennesaw State University.
