Pamela Whitten, president of Kennesaw State University, will join the Cobb Chamber and the Cobb County business community for the November Marquee Monday event at the Coca-Cola Roxy on November 9, 2020.
Whitten was named Kennesaw State University’s fifth president on June 12, 2018. As president, she has made improving the student education experience her top priority—enhancing the availability of in-demand courses, growing summer enrollment, initiating new faculty and advisor hiring, creating scholarships, and strengthening the research capacity of the university. With more than 8,100 freshman in the class of 2024, Kennesaw State has the largest freshman class enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs in the state of Georgia—and an overall student body of 40,900.
KSU also recently received a $2 million grant to strengthen two of the university’s outreach programs—Thrive and Achieve Atlanta. Both programs help promising students achieve academic success and progress toward graduation.
Doors open at the Coca-Cola Roxy at 11:15 a.m., with the program starting at 11:45 a.m. Limited in-person attendance is available until November 4. Virtual registration is open until the day of, at no cost for Chamber members and $5 for general admission. Walk-up admissions and at-door payment cannot be granted.
To help provide a safe and smooth entry to our November Marquee Monday event, in-person attendees can opt to use SymTem, an all-in-one COVID-19 screening tool created by InfoMart. In advance of the event, in-person attendees will receive an email prompting them to take a virtual health screening through the SymTem app. Once the screening is complete and the attendee is deemed symptom free and safe to attend this event, they receive a digital badge to show Chamber staff upon arrival.
