University adds new courses, support staff, workshops and educational programs
KENNESAW, Ga. (Dec. 10, 2009) - Starting in January, Kennesaw State University will offer seven new classes at the Paulding County Instructional Site for students currently enrolled at KSU.
Among the spring 2010 offerings are upper-level courses in leadership, history, management, criminal justice, ethics and business law. KSU, in partnership with Georgia Highlands College, opened the Paulding site in August.
The university also announced the appointment of a "faculty in residence" at the Paulding site. Ken Hill, a lecturer in First-Year Programs in KSU's University College, will be available to advise current and prospective students on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
KSU's Student Enrollment Services department is providing additional support for students at the Paulding site. Romina Torres-Aranda, student services associate, will be available to meet with students on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., beginning Jan. 13. Group information sessions are also scheduled at 12:30 p.m. each Wednesday.
"This expansion represents our commitment to working with our partners at Georgia Highlands to increase educational access for residents of the Paulding County and Dallas area," said Lana Wachniak, interim faculty executive assistant to the provost. "We anticipate adding more classes and resources in the coming semesters as we assess demand and indentify opportunities."
Current KSU students can register for classes at the Paulding site using KSU's Owl Express system through Jan. 6. Prospective students seeking to take classes at the Paulding site in the future must complete the university's admissions and enrollment process, beginning with the on-line application form.

Throughout 2010, KSU's Center for Conflict Management will offer educators, business people, students and community residents a series of workshops and literacy-enhancing activities at the Paulding site. Workshop topics include teaching tolerance, mediation, effective conflict communication, living with disabilities, current affairs and enhancing the social studies curriculum.
The center also is sponsoring two day-long events in March 2010 - The Big Read Family Day and The Big Read Youth Day - at the Paulding site. Most workshops and activities are free. KSU enrollment is not required for the scheduled workshops and Big Read programs.
