Kennesaw State University

Kennesaw State's Department of Dance was selected from among 44 adjudicated works presented by collegiate dance programs across the Southeast to perform at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., during the National American College Dance Festival June 6-9. The Festival, regarded as one of the most prestigious venues to present collegiate dance in the country, is held biennially.

To best depict what diversity looks like through art, students in Kennesaw State's College of the Arts created art pieces as part of the inaugural Diversity Arts Competition and Show, sponsored by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Student artists competed for votes from the campus community, and six winners - two for first, second and third place - were selected. Their renderings are currently on display and can be viewed through the online gallery: http://diversity.kennesaw.edu/artcompetition.php.

Two graduates of Kennesaw State University's College of the Arts have been named to Graphic Design USA's "Students to Watch 2018" list. Audrey Arnold and Katie Vines were among 75 students from universities throughout the U.S. named to GDUSA's annual list. Both women were nominated by faculty in the College's School of Art and Design at Kennesaw State.

Kennesaw State University's new Dance Theater will open to the public March 24, with the premiere of "Metamorphosis," an original work choreographed by Ivan Pulinkala, founding director of the Department of Dance at KSU.
