Student-to-Student
As the youngest child in a large family, Danielle Griffin was a bit nervous when she first entered Kennesaw State. She had often relied upon her older siblings for advice and now she was on her own. Without her family for support, Griffin turned to Kennesaw State’s Odyssey Peer Mentoring Program to help her navigate her first year of college. The program, which began in 2015 and serves more than 3,000 students annually, helps new freshman and transfer students successfully transition to college while giving students who serve as mentors leadership development experience. – September 13, 2019

In Pursuit of Peace
Just days before she was set to walk across the stage in Kennesaw State University’s summer commencement ceremonies, Etsegenet “Mimi” Endale received a call from the campus bookstore. “Dr. Endale, your regalia is ready for pickup,” the voice on the other side said. After successfully defending her dissertation in the University’s Ph.D. in International Conflict Management degree program, it was the first time she had ever been addressed as “Dr. Endale.” “It just felt so surreal,” she said. “It was very exciting and somewhat overwhelming to hear, but now I feel I have a responsibility to share my knowledge and skills with others.” Before enrolling at Kennesaw State in 2014, Endale had already accumulated a wealth of experience as she pursued her studies around the world. A native of Ethiopia, she earned an undergraduate degree in political science and international relations from Addis Ababa University. Shortly thereafter, she made her way to Tokyo to earn a graduate degree from Meiji University. Reflecting on her childhood, Endale said she was always inspired by the role her father played as a respected mediator and medical provider in her community, which later pushed her to become an Ethiopian diplomat and become involved in the United Nations General Assembly. – September 11, 2019
