Welcome to the Nest, FLIGHT 27 Families!

We are so excited that you have chosen Kennesaw State University.

Your student’s college experience is an exciting time for the whole family, and your role in your student’s life will be integral in the coming years. Research shows that family involvement is critical to student success. Additionally, your student’s success is also linked to their sense of belonging. Great news! KSU has an amazing program for incoming students: FLIGHT. Its purpose is to develop a class-year identity program aimed at increasing first-year students’ sense of belonging and affinity for KSU, KSU spirit, and ultimately their retention and progression at KSU. Incoming students in 2023 belong to FLIGHT 27 –their intended year of graduation.

We are excited to partner with you to provide a variety of opportunities to promote student success through our office, Parent and Family Programs (PFP). We will serve as a resource to you while you continue to support your student during the college transition.

Parent and Family Programs will keep you:

• INVOLVED: Provide meaningful engagement opportunities - for you, as you support your student, both virtually and in-person.

• INFORMED: Provide timely information about services, programs and opportunities - for you and your student.

• INVESTED: Affirm your critical and evolving role during the initial collegiate transition, through graduation, and beyond.

Your involvement with the Parent & Family Association (PFA) starts NOW! The first step to being an involved, informed and invested supporter of your student is to create your (free) account on the Owl Family Hub: kennesaw.campusesp.com

This will tailor your experience, keeping you up to date with information, resources and amazing ways for both you and your student to stay engaged here at KSU. I’m honored to be with you every step of the way!

GO OWLS!
