KENNESAW‚ Ga. (March 20‚ 2007) — Kennesaw State University President Daniel S. Papp
will deliver Kennesaw State’s 2007 State of the University speech during two sessions
March 28 at the Howard Logan Stillwell Theater in the Wilson Building.
The address will be delivered at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
“The State of the University address will allow us as an institution to take a look
back at where we’ve been and get a better view of what’s ahead for us in the coming
years‚” Papp said.
“It is a tradition at many universities for presidents to deliver such an address
each academic year‚” he said. “With the finalization of an ambitious new strategic
plan‚ the visit of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the continuation
of many important initiatives at the university‚ it is an appropriate time to begin
such a tradition at KSU.”
Papp is the third president of KSU‚ taking office in mid−2006 after the 25−year tenure
of Dr. Betty L. Siegel. Siegel‚ who took office in 1981‚ was preceded by Dr. Horace
W. Sturgis‚ who was the institution’s charter president when it was known as Kennesaw
Junior College in the 1960s.
Both sessions are open to the public. For a map of the campus‚ please visit www.kennesaw.edu/about/maps.shtml.
