KSU’s Ideal Location

Transcript

Okay, let’s take a look at the magnificent Allison. She’s in her junior year at KSU as a public relations major. Allison has been part of some really key organizations here on campus like the Thrive Program, Homecoming Court, and more. She’s gonna explain why getting involved here at Kennesaw State is so amazing. Allison, please take it away.

– Thanks, Alex. What’s going on, everyone? Back when I was searching for colleges, I knew I wanted to go somewhere that allowed me to excel both academically and socially. When I found KSU, I knew it was the perfect place for me. I was able to meet so many amazing peers and learn about the diverse organizations that Kennesaw State has to offer. KSU is home to a variety of Greek chapters. Being in a sorority has allowed me to meet some of my best friends and be in a supportive, motivating environment that I need to succeed. One of the best parts about attending Kennesaw State is its close location to Atlanta. Many students are able to receive jobs and internship at Georgia’s major league sports teams, movie studios, and more. I’ve been fortunate to experience this opportunity firsthand. I’ve worked for the Atlanta Braves, our newest world champions for the past two years as a part of the Tomahawk team. I spend my weekends throwing T-shirts on the dugout and performing in shows to represent the Atlanta Braves. In addition to being 20 minutes from the baseball stadium, we are also super close to the Mercedes-Benz and State Farm arenas. I have also represented the Atlanta Hawks on campus as a campus ambassador. These opportunities have led me to create lasting connections with people in other industries as well. KSU’s motivating environment and easy access to big name companies has made me the person I am today. A college education is more than learning skills for a job. It’s about the opportunities and experiences you have access to. And that’s why I love KSU. Throwing it back to you, Alex.

– Allison, that was perfect. You’re definitely getting the most from your involvement with your college. I have to say, it must be an amazing feeling to be part of so many organizations here at KSU. Having that level of support and range of opportunities would absolutely keep any student motivated and striving towards their goals. Thanks again, Allison.
