Gifts in Action

Donor to help international students feel at home at KSU

Harry Vardis knows first hand the value of receiving a college scholarship as an international student, so he is providing that same opportunity to students at Kennesaw State University.

Donors follow family example of helping others

Inspired by the lessons from their own fathers to work hard and help others, Rick and Julie Bennett have established an endowment to provide scholarships for many Kennesaw State University students in the years to come.

New fund supports student entrepreneur innovation

Student entrepreneurs soon will have more opportunities to innovate and grow their businesses with financial support from technology entrepreneurs Sid and Sophie Mookerji.

Doug and Robin Shore Leaving Legacy At Kennesaw State

For years, Doug and Robin Shore have been making contributions to Kennesaw State University. Now, their names indelibly will be linked to the Michael J. Coles College of Business.
