Kennesaw State University values the incredible contributions of our faculty and staff. Based on your feedback, we’ve transformed our traditional Employee Appreciation Week into a series of year-round appreciation events designed to offer more flexibility and greater opportunities for participation.

Join us for exciting activities like Chili ‘N’ Cheer, Trivia Challenges, Staff Awards, and more! These events are all about recognizing your hard work and making it easier for everyone to celebrate, no matter your schedule.

Thank you for everything you do to make KSU a vibrant and supportive place to work. We can’t wait to celebrate you!
