Two majors, two part-time jobs, two club vice-presidencies—for Micah Holston, life at Kennesaw State is doubly fulfilling. Holston is pursuing bachelor’s degrees in physics and political science. He is a substitute teacher in Cherokee County schools and conducts research part time for the Air Force Research Laboratory in New Mexico. He is also the vice president of the Kennesaw Nuclear Society and the KSU chapter of the North American Young Generation for Nuclear.

Reflecting on her childhood, Lucile Duncan can see that much of her interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) was nurtured by her engineer father. Her early exposure to the field came from frequent interactions with his colleagues and visits to their workplaces. She spent weekends with these professionals and joined them for lunch during summer breaks, which introduced her to engineering at a young age. It was those interactions that ultimately led her to pursue mechanical engineering at Kennesaw State University’s Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology.

Growing up in India, Joachim James saw his mother and father designing houses during their free time, as they worked as civil and electrical engineers. Looking to grow his own engineering skills and career, James took the advice of his cousins who attended Kennesaw State University and enrolled in the Master of Science in Civil Engineering program. Today, he plays a critical role in research that could change the way engineers address lighting inside tunnel systems.
